Spalangiopelta Masi View in CoL View at ENA

Spalangiopelta Masi 1922: 169 View in CoL . Type species: Spalangiopelta brachyptera Masi View in CoL (by monotypy).

Diparisca Hedqvist 1964: 54–55 View in CoL . Type species: Diparisca ferrierei Hedqvist View in CoL (orig. desig. and by monotypy). New synonymy.

Discussion: Diparisca , known only from the type specimen of D. ferrierei , is herein synonymized with Spalangiopelta . That holotype specimen has been examined and conclusively identified as Spalangiopelta . Darling (1991a) mentioned an undescribed species from Brazil (Nova Teutonia and San Jose Barreiro), but postponed its description because he only had male material. The holotype of D. ferrierei is believed to be the female associated with the aforementioned males. Additionally, 2 female specimens from the same locality (and apparently the same species) exist in the collection at the CNC. It is possible that the specimens were split up in collections based on their sexual dimorphism.
