Amaurobius sinister (Nicolet, 1849)

Clubiona sinistra Nicolet, 1849: 439 (♀).

Amaurobius sinister: Simon 1892a: 237; Lehtinen 1967: 234.

Comments. The species was described from Chile and was originally placed in Clubiona . Simon (1887) transferred Nicolet's Clubiona without seeing the material into several genera belonging to different families ( Anyphaenidae, Agelenidae, Cheiracanthiidae, Trachelidae and Amauribiidae). Lehtinen (1967) mentioned that it belongs to Exlinea Lehtinen, 1967 (a junior synonym of Metaltella Mello-Lietão, 1931), but had not transferred species due to lack of the types.

It could belong to one of seven amaurobiid or desid genera occurring in Chile: Callevopsis Tullgren, 1902, Emmenomma Simon, 1884, Hicanodon Tullgren, 1901, Livius Roth, 1967, Macrobunus Tullgren, 1901, Metaltella Mello-Lietão, 1931, Neoporteria Mello-Leitão, 1943 or Rubrius Simon, 1887 .
