Trapezia punctimanus Odinetz, 1983

Trapezia punctimanus Odinetz, 1983: 35, 107, 114, 134, 206, 214, photograph 7 (colour).

Remarks. This species was first described in a doctoral thesis (Odinetz 1983) although it was formally described in a publication of much wider circulation a year later (Odinetz 1984). However, Odinetz's (1983) thesis was widely circulated among scientists from different parts of the world. Although she did not intend it to be a proper publication, she did not state emphatically that it was not, and as such it fulfils all the requirements for publication under the current zoological code (ICZN 1999) and as such, the 1983 publication date of her new name is valid.
