Gangus longulus Simon, 1902: 390 View in CoL . Syntype (s), M, F, Cooktown, whereabouts unknown, perhaps Paris. Thyene longula View in CoL — Prószyński & Deekman-Reinhold 2010: 184.

Transferred to Thyene View in CoL without documented evidence when Gangus synonymized with Thyene ( Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold 2010) View in CoL . More recently, Prószyński (2014) has suggested this name be synonymized with Marptusa longula Thorell, 1881 (= Evarcha longula View in CoL ). He also suggested the Simon name be treated, incorrectly, as the senior synonym. No reasons or illustrations of the types were given for this action. As Simon (1902) states that G. longulus has a laterally pointed, black, strong and sharp tibial apophysis while M. longula View in CoL has a short bifurcate tibial apophysis, this possible synonomy is unlikely. At the same time the new combination was transferred to Evarcha View in CoL on the basis of the similarity of the genitalia of M. longula View in CoL with that of Evarcha View in CoL (see ‘Remarks’ for Evarcha View in CoL , above).
