Taxonomic remarks. The female from the ZMH collection is not part of the type series, as also noted by Weidner (1959: 109) who considered the specimen as a “ Locotype ” because the only female from this locality should be in the Brussel Museum (now Royal Begian Institute of Natural Sciences ) . Also, the oldest label written by Kraepelin mentions that the specimen was determined by Simon in 1899, twenty years after the species was first described. According to Muma (1970), the male type is at MNHN No . 1805, but the female and the juvenile are not conspecific with the type.

Current systematic position. Eremobatidae , Eremocosta formidabilis ( Simon 1879) .
