Coryphasia , Asaphobelis and Siloca

Type species of the above genera differ strikingly in internal structure of epigyne and also in palps, compare diagnostic drawings of Coryphasia albibarbis Simon, 1902 ( Fig. 38J) with these of Asaphobelis physonychus ( Fig. 38K) and Siloca campestrata ( Fig. 38L). Merging of them is totally unacceptable and reflects on merging of their congeners. Misinterpretation of placement was assisted by excessive diagrammatizing of drawings of internal structures of epigyne. Therefore:

Coryphasia physonycha (Simon, 1902) = Asaphobelis physonychus Simon, 1902 (reinstated

combination, do not agree with morphological characters of type species of Coryphasia compare

Figs 38J with 38K)

Coryphasia campestrata (Simon, 1902) = Siloca campestrata Simon, 1902 (reinstated combination,

do not agree with morphological characters of type species of Coryphasia - compare Figs 38J with

38L).
