Leioscyta neivai Fonseca

Leioscyta neivai Fonseca 1941a: 129 , Figs. 1–2 [line drawings: lateral and dorsal view]; Metcalf and Wade, 1965a: 1317; McKamey, 1998a: 208.

Pseudoerechtia neivai ; Sakakibara, 2012a: 571 [new combination, type-species of Pseudoerechtia Sakakibara]. Original repository: IBSP, CJPF (see remarks).

5 female syntypes from BRAZIL: São Paulo: "[J. P. Fonseca’s handwriting] 58 \ SÃO PAULO \ [Praia das Tartarugas] Guarujá [O. Monte leg., 1940]", " Leioscyta \ neivai \ Fons [eca].", "[red label] Cotypus", "Coleção \ PINTO DA \ FONSECA" [two females missing the latter label]. All females double-mounted on minuten, with surface contaminants (except for one female), legs broken at different segments.

Remarks. Fonseca (1941a) designated four females as syntypes, and stated that two syntypes were deposited at IBSP and two in his personal collection (CJPF). Five conspecific females were located; they bear labels written by Fonseca with the same collection data indicated in the original description, hence all are considered syntypes.
