Scoturius dipterioides Perger & Rubio, 2018: 4, figs 2, 3A, 3C, 4B, 5A (holotype, ♀, Bolivia, Santa Cruz (17°52’59.0”S 63°19’04.0”W), deposited in IBSI Ara 0713, not examined).

Remarks. Upon knowledge on the epigyne of Atelurius segmentatus (Figs 47–48, 68), type species of the genus, it is possible to propose the transfer of Scoturius dipterioides Perger & Rubio, 2018 to Atelurius Simon, 1901, based on the morphology of the copulatory ducts. We suggest that the membranous portion (CD*) of copulatory ducts were not illustrated by the authors (compare with Fig. 48: * asterisks to the membranous copulatory ducts).

Distribution. Only known from type locality in Bolivia [Santa Cruz]; see Perger & Rubio (2018) (Fig. 77).

Natural history. According to Perger & Rubio (2018), this species was collected by beating tray and was suggested as a mimic of flies. Altitudinal distribution: 480 m a. s. l.
