Plexippus coccineus Simon, 1902 View in CoL
Figures of type specimen not available, misidentified P. “coccineus ” is shown on Figs 4H View Figure 4 , 7C View Figure 7
Plexippus coccineus Simon, 1902a: 403 View in CoL
Plexippus coccineus Nenilin, 1985a: 132 View in CoL (synonymy devoid of any documentation – see Fig. 8 View Figure 8 ).
Documentation studied. Summary of world's literature provided by "Monograph of Salticidae View in CoL ( Araneae ) of the World 1995-2016. Part I & 2" by Prószyński (2016 a, b) and current literature.
Remarks. Plexippus coccineus Simon, 1902a: 403 is unrecognizable from the original description of a single male, collected in Turkomania (historical name of the area between Persia and Georgia, exact meaning in this description is uncertain), original specimen kept in the Simon collection in MNHN-Paris ( Prószyński
1971: 459) was not revised. Synonymy with Plexippus strandi Spassky, 1939 , proposed by Nenilin 3, 1985a: 132 ( Fig. 8 View Figure 8 ) is not supported by examination of specimen and diagnostic graphic documentation, therefore is not acceptable. Therefore:
Plexippus coccineus : Nenilin, 1985 - identification not documented, synonymy not accepted.
Plexippus coccineus : Wesolowska, 1996 = Plexippus strandi Spassky, 1939 .
Plexippus coccineus : Metzner, 1999 - misidentified.
3 Knowing personally A.B. Nenilin, young enthusiast who died trying to save his spider collection from fire, I know that at that time he had no slightest chance to study type specimens kept in Paris Museum, he has apparently assumed synonymy of these species because of occurrence in the same geographical area but, with more experience gained in the meantime, we understand that each geographical area may harbor more than one related species of local genera of Salticidae .
