Maratus anomaliformis (Żabka, 1987)

Prószyński, Jerzy, 2017, Pragmatic classification of the World's Salticidae (Araneae), Ecologica Montenegrina 12, pp. 1-133 : 75

Maratus anomaliformis (Żabka, 1987) = " Lycidas" anomaliformis Żabka, 1987

Creation of the above combination is a contribution of editors of the WSC "required by generic transfer", rejection of transfer is forced by lack of positive documentation (compare palp of Maratus amabilis , type species that genus, Fig. 37H, with the same for Lycidas anomaliformis on Fig. 33U). Complex of prolific Australian genera Jotus , Lycidas and Maratus require new, comprehensive revision due to incompatible methods of descriptions used heretofore by involved authors, with genital characters used by Żabka, behavioral studies by Otto & Hill and photographs by Whyte, revisions should deal with all species of that group. Without prejudging future genera delimitation and definition, the above mentioned species cannot be placed in the same genus. Therefore:

Maratus anomaliformis (Żabka, 1987) = " Lycidas" anomaliformis Żabka, 1987 (reinstatement of

previous combination, compare Fig. 37H, with 33U).
