Remarks. Anteon parapriscum is very near to A. priscum Olmi, 1991 ; the only difference is in the shape of the distal inner process of the parameres (rounded in A. parapriscum ; pointed in A. priscum ). Anteon alpinum He & Xu is here considered junior synonym of A. parapriscum Olmi after comparison of the holotype of A. alpinum (now lost) with a paratype of A. parapriscum . The two above specimens were like.
