Anisopodus batesi Gilmour, 1965

(Figs 42–43)

Anisopodus arachnoides; Bates, 1863: 283 (misidentification).

Anisopodus batesi Gilmour, 1965: 568 .

Remarks. Anisopodus batesi was originally described by Bates (1863) under the misidentified name Anisopodus arachnoides (Audinet-Serville, 1835) . Gilmour (1965) recognized the error and proposed a replacement name (nomen novum), A. batesi . Although a new name cannot be proposed for a misidentified taxon, the ICZN (1999: 13.1.2) allows the name to be considered valid. The syntypes are the specimens identified by Bates (1863: 283) as A. arachnoides .

This species was first recorded from Ecuador by Monné & Giesbert (1994), but without further details. Currently, it is known from Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, French Guiana, and Brazil (Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Mato Grosso, and Ceará) (Monné 2024b; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2025).
