Spermophora, Hentz, 1841

HUBER, BERNHARD A., 2000, New World Pholcid Spiders (Araneae: Pholcidae): A Revision At Generic Level, Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2000 (254), pp. 1-348 : 345-348

‘‘ Spermophora ’’ maculata Keyserling, 1891

I have seen the female holotype [from Blumenau , Santa Catarina, Brazil; no date (Hetschko), in BMNH (1890.411.8336)]. It is completely destroyed ; the only thing I could identify among the dirt was a squashed abdomen with spinnerets but without genital area. The original description (Keyserling, 1891) says that the clypeus is about as high as an anterior eye, which would be completely unique for pholcids. Otherwise I see no evidence supporting the position of the species within pholcids, and the drawing of the epigynum is too simple to recognize the species. Mello-Leitão (1922) assigned a male pholcid from ‘‘Nictheroy’’ (Niteroi), Rio de Janeiro, to the species, probably without consulting the type, and with a useless figure of the pedipalp. I have not been able to locate any of the material published in that paper, but I regard it as highly improbable that the male is in fact conspecific with the type of S. maculata . Later, Mello-Leitão (1940e) cited material from Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraná. Finally, the ‘‘redescriptions’’ by Moenkhaus (1898) and Mello-Leitão (1918) are simply translations of Keyserling’s original description, without new information .
