Comment
. This species was transferred from
Dingosa
Roewer, 1955
, a genus known from
Australia
, to
Trochosa
(
Mozaffarian & Marusik, 2001
)
because the epigyne drawn by
Roewer (1955a
: fig. 11) corresponds well to
Trochosa
. Examination of the type revealed that the epigyne was inaccurately drawn (cf.
Figs. 13B and 13C
) and that the
holotype
female has a pattern typical to
Pardosa
s.l.
Judging from the epigyne, it may belong to the
Pardosa nebulosa
-group. This group was once considered a separate genus,
Acroniops
Simon, 1898
, currently a junior synonym of
Pardosa
C.L.
Koch, 1847
. The new combination provided for Roewer’s species led to secondary homonymy with
Pardosa persica
Marusik, Ballarin & Omelko, 2012
, the species belonging to the
Pardosa monticola
- group that was also once considered a separate genus,
Pardosops
Roewer, 1955
. In any case, we herein replace the secondary junior homonym with
P. persiana
nom. n.
(pro
Pardosa persica
Marusik, Ballarin & Omelko, 2012
).
