Anelosimus tepus Levi, 1967: 15 Osorno, Termas de Puyehue A revision of the New World eximius lineage of Anelosimus (Araneae, Theridiidae) and a phylogenetic analysis using worldwide exemplars Agnarsson, Ingi Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 2006 2006-04-30 146 4 453 593 53BZD (LEVI, 1967) Agnarsson 2006 Levi 1967 [882,1234,947,971] Arachnida Theridiidae Styposis Animalia Araneae 59 512 Arthropoda species tepus comb. nov.      Anelosimus tepus Levi, 1967: 15, figs 28–29, ♀  Types:  Female holotypefrom Chile, Osorno, Termas de Puyehue,  240 m,  14.iii.1965, H. Levi, in MCZ, examined.   Comments: This medium-sized ( 2.2 mm) species is transferred to  Styposis. It clearly belongs to Pholcommatinae, having a large colulus with two setae, and AME smaller than other eyes. It differs from  Anelosimusby having a single trichobothrium dorsally on female palpal tibia, and epigynum a transparent plate without ridges. Furthermore, as pointed out by Levi (1967: 15): ‘This species is readily separated from most other  Anelosimusby the unusual coloration...’, the abdomen lacks a dorsal band, but has dark-pigmented spots on dorsum. Its placement in  Styposis(instead of the similar  Selkirkiella) is speculative based on the female alone, but is congruent with Levi’s statement (see above) on the similarity of the palps of  S. camoteensisand  S. tepus. The female, furthermore, has a simple copulatory duct, while the many similar sympatric species of  Selkirkiellahave tightly spiralling copulatory ducts. 1965-03-14 MCZ H.
