Treatment

Nilus marginatus ( Simon 1888) , nomen dubium

Fig. 18 View FIGURES 16 – 19. 16 – 17 : 4

Sphedanus marginatus Simon 1888: 284 (Description of female; holotype, female, from Andaman Islands, not examined). Nilus marginatus Simon 1898: 289 (Transfer to Nilus View in CoL )

Note. The type material of Nilus marginatus ( Simon 1888) described from the Andaman Islands ( Simon 1888: 284; sub Sphedanus m.) was not available for this study. It is definitely not in the MNHN (Rollard, in litt.). Simon (1898a: 289) transferred the species to the genus Nilus without comments. From the original description I cannot recognise an affiliation to any genus. Therefore, I leave this name also as nomen dubium, until the type material is located and can be examined.
