Dysdera crassipalpus Blackwall, 1863: 43 (♂ holotype from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, deposited in Oxford Museum of Natural History, England, not examined).— Beatty (1970: 483, as nomem dubium). Ariadna View in CoL crassipalpus— Mello-Leitão (1947: 234, Transf. from Dysdera View in CoL ).— Camargo (1950: 445, Descr. ♀, = A. mollis View in CoL , present study).

Ariadna View in CoL crassipalpa— World Spider Catalog (2018).

Note. This species was identified based on the original description from Blackwall (1863). The alotype described by Camargo (1950) was examined, and after the study of the internal genitalia it was observed that it represents a misidentification of an Ariadna mollis specimen.

Diagnosis. Ariadna crassipalpa is similar to A. mollis , A. boesenbergi , A. calilegua , A. changellkuk , A. levii and A. perkinsi due to the dark abdominal pattern with arrow-shaped marks ( Figs 1A‒C View FIGURE 1 , 18A, F View FIGURE 18 , 20A, F View FIGURE 20 , 22A, F View FIGURE 22 , 31A, E View FIGURE31 , 45A, F View FIGURE 45 , 47A, F View FIGURE 47 , 50A, F View FIGURE 50 ), but differ, except A. mollis and A. calilegua , by the presence of males with sinuous metatarsi I, bearing a short and curved ventro-prolateral macrosetae in its median region, sometimes in a small apophysis ( Fig. 18C‒E View FIGURE 18 ); it differs from A. mollis by presenting a more incrassated palpal tibia, with the dorsoventral diameter similar to the bulb, and from A. calilegua by having the curvature of the mid-portion and embolus less marked, and a thicker embolus ( Fig. 19A‒B View FIGURE19 ); females differ from these species, except A. calilegua , by having the anterior receptaculum with an irregular cuticle, with conspicuous grooves ( Fig. 19C‒D View FIGURE19 ); it differs from A. calilegua by the patellae I‒II without prolateral macrosetae ( Fig. 18H View FIGURE 18 ).
