Gosiphrurus schulzefenai Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936: 14 , pl.2, figs 15–16 (female holotype from Chilapa , Guerrero, Mexico, in Museum für Naturkunde; not examined); Platnick & Ubick, 1989: 3.

Phonotimpus schulzefenai Chamé-Vázquez et al., 2021: 575 , figs 3A–J, 4A–G.

Other material examined. MEXICO: San Luis Potosí : 40 Km W Xilitla, elev. 1700 m, June 12, 1983, litter from oak forest, S., J. Peck, 2 ♂ ( AMNH _ IZC 00326983 ) [N.B.: San Luis Potosí: 40 Km W Xilitla per label, but that location is in the state of Querétaro] .

Diagnosis. Males can be recognized by the retrolateral tibial apophysis arising at base of tibia, extending far to the side of segment, distal portion bent distally, with a subdistal expansion on the ventral edge, and dorsal apophysis strongly curved ventrally ( Chamé-Vázquez et al. 2021: figs 4A, D; Figs 263–266 ). Females resemble those of P. puente sp. nov. in abdominal color pattern and epigynum, but have a smaller copulatory opening and a shorter, round copulatory duct chamber ( Chamé-Vázquez et al. 2021: figs 3A–H).

Description. See redescription by Chamé-Vázquez et al. (2021).

Distribution. Ciudad de México, Estado de México, Guerrero, San Luis Potosí ( Fig. 339 ).
