Simonurius campestratus: Galiano, 1988: 300 View in CoL ; World Spider Catalog 2021. New Synonymy

Remarks. Galiano (1988) pointed out the similarity between Si. quadratarius and Si. campestratus . Galiano (1963, 1988) highlighted that the only difference between the two species was that the cephalothorax of Si. quadratarius was higher, and the posterior eye row was wider than in Si. campestratus . These differences are not enough to maintain these names as separate species. In addition, regarding distribution, it is observed that the two species have the same geographic and altitudinal distribution in Aragua, Venezuela. Therefore, we consider Si. quadratarius as a senior synonym of Si. campestratus .

Distribution. Venezuela [Aragua and Distrito Federal ( Galiano 1988; Ruiz & Brescovit 2005)], Colombia [Cezar: Sierra de Perijá (Galvis & Martínez, 2016)] ( Fig. 77 View FIGURES 77–78 ).
