Treatment

Tomopisthes modestus Simon 1902: 35 (as Tomopisthes modestus n. sp., description female)

Type locality.

Female, Coll. Mich. 76. Süd-Patagonien, Punta Arenas, unter Baustämmen; 15.III.93.

Dimensions.

♀. long. 5 mm.

Determination label.

Tomopisthes modestus n. sp. Nr. 55.

Locality label.

76. Magelh. Str., Punta arenas; IX.92.

Type material.

Syntype ♀ (ZMH-A0000770).

Remarks.

Ramírez (2003: 154) synonymised Tomopisthes modestus under Sanogasta maculosa (Nicolet, 1849) based on female holotype from Chile, Punta Arenas, IX.1892, Michaelsen coll., examined in MHNP. The specimen in the Paris Museum is probably part of the type series but Ramírez did not designate a lectotype. The holotype assumption is invalid and the ZMH specimen remains as a syntype until all specimens are re-examined (see Discussion).

Current systematic position.

Anyphaenidae , Sanogasta maculosa (Nicolet, 1849).
