Sarinda glabra Franganillo, 1930: 37; Galiano, 1965: 280( Holotypelost, Cuba, Sierra Maestra). Notes. Franganillo (1930)described Sarinda glabrabased on the morphology of both males and females from Sierra Maestra, Cuba. However, we believe that this species actually corresponds to Peckhamia.According to Galiano (1965), Peckhamiacan be distinguished from Sarindaby the tibial spination, which has the regular 2-2-2 ventral macrosetae in the former and is 2-2-2- 2 in Sarinda; the chelicerae with two promarginal teeth and a bicuspid retromarginal tooth in Peckhamia(four promarginal teeth and three retromarginal teeth, the retromarginal teeth almost equal in size in females ( Galiano 1965: fig. 10)); the male chelicerae are developed, projected anteriorly and divergent; in Peckhamia, leg I is swollen but the tarsi are not dilated (in Sarindathe tarsi are dilated, and the tibia are very elongated, more than 2 times the length of the patella (maybe to imitate antennae), and the sternum in Peckhamiais oval (subtriangular in Sarinda), the embolus is distal and articulated by hematodochae in Peckhamia(fixed to tegulum and coiled more than two times around the tegulum in Sarinda); and the female has the CD less developed (CD well-developed, coiled and with CD receptacle in Sarinda).
Considering the original description ( Franganillo 1930: 37–38), we conclude that Sarinda glabrais erroneously placed in the genus Sarinda. Galiano (1965: 282)commented that S. glabra Franganillo, 1930does not belong to Sarindaaccording to the original description, but because of the poor description and because the typespecimens are lost, she did not establish any nomenclatorial change. Unfortunately, the typematerial of Franganillo (1930)is lost, and the original description is poor. However, there are traits to support the transfer considering the revision of Galiano (1965): 1) males and females of Peckhamiahave two teeth on the retromargin of the chelicerae, the proximal one larger than the distal one (as in P. espositoae sp. nov., P. areito sp. nov.and P. surcaribensis sp. nov.), while in Sarindathis trait varies from one to three retromarginal teeth; 2) In leg I, the tarsus is not dilated (= “fusiforme”) as in Sarinda; and 3) tibia I is a bit larger than the patella and the sternum is oval (in Sarindatibia I is much longer than the patella and the sternum is sub-pentagonal). Even with expeditions and extensive collecting in the typelocality of Sarinda glabra, we did not find the species. It is possible that the species described as S. glabraby Franganillo (1930)corresponds to one of the species described in our work. However, this cannot be proven based on the description alone. Based on the aforementioned evidence, we propose Peckhamia glabra( Franganillo, 1930) comb. nov.as a nomen dubium.
