Amaurobius asuncionis Mello-Leitão, 1946

A. a. Mello-Leitão, 1946: 17, f. 1 (j).

Comment. The species was described and known from Paraguay. The two figures (habitus and epigyne) provided by Mello-Leitão do not allow allocation of this species to any genus of Amaurobiidae or Titanoecidae known from South America, but it is definitely not Amaurobius . Lehtinen (1967: 212) mentioned that type of this species is a juvenile, not a female as indicated in Mello-Leitão (1946) and the WSC (2019). It belongs to the Museo de La Plata and it was mentioned with reference to Schiapelli & Gerschman de Pikelin (in litt.) that it "is very poorly preserved and cannot be placed".
