Cotinusa setosa (Mello-Leitão, 1947) View in CoL new comb.

Thiodina setosa Mello-Leitão, 1947: 32 View in CoL , pl. 6, fig. 14; World Spider Catalog 2015.

Note. According to the original description (Mello-Leitão 1947), this species has “poorly elevated (= low), narrow cephalothorax (and) front tibiae with two pairs of bulbose setae”, which agrees with the pattern seen in species of Cotinusa View in CoL , which supports the transfer. The boundaries of this genus are still not understood, but presently under revision (Costa & Ruiz in prep.). The figure given by the author (Mello-Leitão 1947, fig. 14) seems to illustrate the epigynal area of a juvenile female. Despite this species being considered species inquirenda by Galiano (1981), it is possible that the peculiar pattern of dark spots on the carapace of this species (see Mello-Leitão 1947: 32) may help recognize it in the future.
