“ Eusparassus” palystiformis Strand, 1907 View in CoL View at ENA nomen dubium
Eusparassus palystiformis Strand, 1907a: 541 View in CoL (description of female) [type from Capeland in South Africa, Museum Lübeck, lost]; Strand 1907b: 671.
Remarks. According to the original description, this species could not be placed in the genus Eusparassus , as its legs have three pairs of ventral tibial spines (two pairs in Eusparassus ). Strand (1907a) expressed doubts on placing his new species in Eusparassus by using a question mark.
Remarks on Ethiopian types of Strand. The type specimens of the following four species were unfortunately destroyed during World War II ( Renner 1988). The excursion of the author to Ethiopia (June 2011) as well as investigations in major spider collections in Europe resulted in the recognition of two known valid species of Eusparassus distributed in the country, namely E. laevatus comb. nov. (East and North-East), and E. vestigator comb. nov. (South). These two species were described before those of Strand. Therefore, Strand’s species are most likely junior synonyms of E. laevatus comb. nov. and/or E. vestigator comb. nov..
