Selenops cordatus Zhu et al. 1990: 31, figs 5-8. syn. n.
Type material.
Selenops cordatus : Holotype female: Binggu Orchards, Miyi County, Sichuan Province, China [27°07'N, 102°01'E], IX–X.1980 (Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Science Institute of Plant Protection; not examined). Paratypes: Males and females, same data as holotype (Norman Bethune Medial University, Department of Biology, Changchun, Jilin; not examined).
Distribution.
Known only from Sichuan Province in China (Map 1); however, it is widespread from Africa, throughout the Mediterranean, India, and other parts of Asia. Thus, it is likely found elsewhere in China.
Remarks.
It is clear from the drawings provided by Zhu et al. (1990) that Selenops cordatus is a junior synonym of Selenops radiatus . This extends the range of Selenops radiatus even further east (Map 1), making it the most widespread member of the Selenopidae , the phylogeography of which would no doubt be interesting to study.
