Stenaelurillus ambiguus Denis, 1966: p. 114 View in CoL , figs 15-17 (D♂); ♂ holotype in MNHN, not examined.
Remarks
This species was described from a single male from Libya (oasis Fezzân, Wādī al Ḥayāh District, Lake Tadem’ka) (see Denis 1966: figs 16–17). Based on the original description and illustrations, the holotype male possesses the main diagnostic characters of the genus Aelurillus Simon, 1884 : viz., the shape of the tegulum and its position in relation to the cymbium, the absence of a tegular process, the shape and apical position of the visible part of the embolic division, and the presence of a singular retrolateral apophysis with a wide basis. Thus, it is safe to conclude that S. ambiguus Denis, 1966 is to be transferred to Aelurillus .The taxonomic status and validity of this species require further study; it seems to be close to Aelurillus stanislawi (Prószyński, 1999) , known from Ethiopia and the Levant ( WSC 2017).
