Studies on spider nomenclature IV: additional dubious and unavailable nomina, status of genera with invalid type species, further synonymies, and emendations (Arachnida: Araneae)
Revista Ibérica de Aracnología 47: 43-54.
Abstract
An order-wide nomenclatural paper. Three genera, twenty-three species and three subspecies are proposed as nomina dubia; two species names are found unavailable; two threatened genus names whose type species are nomina dubia are stabilised; six further synonymies are proposed; one name is made a nomen protectum and its older homonym a nomen oblitum; two replacement names are described. Finally, emendations of four spider names are discussed — Indothele rothorum Coyle, 1995 (newly emended), Cyrtopholis bryantae Rudloff, 1995, Eumenophorus murphyorum Smith, 1990, and Hysterocrates celerierae (Smith, 1990). Only the last three concern Theraphosidae.
