Remarks.

Considered synonym of Mygale avicularia by Latreille (1806) and Hahn (1833) as well as of Mygale versicolor by Walckenaer (1837). Although very uninformative, the description shows an eye disposition that suggests this species is not a mygalomorph spider. Thus, we considered Araneus hirtipes (Fabricius, 1787) nomen dubium.
