On the spider species described by L. Koch in 1882 from the Balearic Islands (Araneae) Bosmans Van Keer Arachnologische Mitteilungen 2012 43 1 5 16 68442 Lucas, 1846 Lucas 1846 [128,478,510,535] Arachnida Lycosidae Arctosa Animalia Araneae 4 9 Arthropoda species fulvolineata    Lycosa perspicax L. Koch, 1882: 658, pl. 21, fig. 32 (descr. female); new synonymy.   Alopecosella perspicax; Roewer, 1955: 225.    Typematerial   Holotype femaleof  Lycosa perspicaxfrom Spain, Baleares, Mallorca, Sollervalley, mid-April, Schaufussleg. ( ZMB 7910); examined.  Comparative material examined   FRANCE. Aude: Gruissan, N. les Pujots( N 43°06’30’’ E 3°3’28’’),  3m, 1 female, litter in salt marsh,  1.IV.1980, R. Bosmansleg. ( CRB).   Comments The holotypefemale has an intact epigyne and on examination it can immediately be recognised as  Arctosa fulvolineata.  Lycosa perspicaxthus becomes a junior synonym. Koch’s figure is sketchy ( Fig. 7) but shows the typical antero-median, triangular septum of  A. fulvolineata( Fig. 8, taken from KNÜLLE 1959). ROEWER (1955) created the new genus  Alopecosellaforthis species. Since the typeof the genus  Alopecosellais here transferred to  Arctosa, the genus  Alopecosellabecomes a junior synonym of  Arctosa. The only other species of the genus  Alopecosella,  A. pelusiaca(Audouin, 1826)has to be returned to  Alopecosa, where it was placed by CAPORIACCO (1936).   Distribution Western Europe, Iberian Peninsula, Italy, south of France and the Maghreb. 1457229231 ZMB Schaufuss Spain Soller Mallorca 4 9 7910 1 1 Baleares holotype 1457229232 1980-04-01 CRB R.
