Euophrys vittata Caporiacco, 1935 ( Fig. 17O )

Euophrys vittata Caporiacco, 1935 b: 202 , pl. 5, f. 3 (j, Karakorum)

Wanless (1975: 132) called attention that status of this species, described on an immature specimen, is uncertain - which World Spider Catalog worded more categorically as "nomen dubium". However, the species has type specimen preserved in the Museo Civico di Storia Maturale, Milano, Italy ( Prószyński 1971: 408), and Caporiacco provided an unmistakable diagnostic character in his drawing f. 3 ( Fig. 17O ) - thin, white median line running along abdomen. Such line is not common among Salticidae of Central Asia - it can appear in genera Phlegra , Pellenes , Attulus or Heliophanus - recognizable by body shape and proportions, even in immature specimens. I am not sure whether dismissing the species off hand in such situation is appropriate. I would rather consider it as "pending revision".

Therefore:

Euophrys vittata Caporiacco, 1935 - reinstated from "nomen dubium" to "pending revision" status.
