Notes

A search of the BOLD database indicated that the host for all three Acrodactyla quadrisculpta specimens was Tetragnatha montana Simon, 1874. Host sequences scored 98.3%-100% similarity with 21 other data points identified as Tetragnatha montana with DNA barcode sequences available in BOLD (all private or early-release at the time of writing). Some of the 100% matches were Tetragnatha montana specimens sequenced as part of a DNA barcoding study on Dutch spiders ( Miller et al. 2013). Acrodactyla quadrisculpta has been associated historically with a number of host species in the genus Tetragnatha including Tetragnatha montana ( Yu et al. 2012).
