Phareicranaus biordi (González-Sponga, 1991) , comb. n.

Santinezia biordi González-Sponga, 1991: 200 , 19–28 (holotype male, “MAGS-945a; paratype female, MAGS-945b, Venezuela, Sucre, Arismendi, Uquire, Parque Nacional Península de Paria”, not examined); 2003: 54, figs. 125–133 (revalidation); Pinto-da-Rocha & Kury 2003: 203 (as junior synonym of Santinezia serratotibialis ).

Diagnosis. See González-Sponga (2003: 54).

Note. This species was synonymized with Santinezia serratotibialis Roewer by Pinto-da-Rocha and Kury (2003) without studying the holotype. In the same year González-Sponga (2003) considered it as valid and presented a redescription. Santinezia serratotibialis is synonymized in this paper with Phareicranaus calcariferus Simon , but we agree with González-Sponga (2003) that P. biordi is a valid species (see Fig. 1 ).
