Treatment

Corythalia dimidiata Simon 1901: 654 (mention of the name without any description or illustration); Petrunkevitch 1911: 615; Bonnet 1956: 1236 (recognition and establishment under status nomen nudum); Platnick (2001) (nomen nudum).

Remarks. As distribution area of this “species” Simon (1901) listed Colombia. In Colombia, however, far more than one Corythalia species occur. As neither any types were deposited nor any description of this “species” exists, the invalid status as a nomen nudum is justified. Once again, Simon may have planned to describe a species with this name (including designation and deposition of a type), but never did so.
