Taphiassa impressa Simon, 1880

Figs 153, 154A–B

Taphiassa impressa Simon, 1880: 172 . Roewer, 1942: 414. Bonnet, 1959: 4238. Levi & Levi, 1962: 29, figs 312–313. Brignoli, 1980: 730. Platnick, 2009.

Type material. Holotype female:‘Nouméa’, New Caledonia, E. Simon ( MNHN AR3747 About MNHN ).

Remarks. Female specimens of Taphiassa examined from Mont Koghis, Col des Rousettes and Aoupinié (AMNH) are very similar to, and may be conspecific with, the holotype female of Taphiassa impressa . Males are required, however, to determine whether these populations are indeed conspecific, or whether they represent a complex of closely related species. New Caledonia has a diverse taphiassine fauna, with at least five new species of Taphiassa known from montane habitats (e.g. Mont Do, Mont Dzumac, Mont Mandjélia, Mont Panié) and offshore islands (e.g. Île des Pins) (M. Rix, unpubl. data).
