Type-material.

Tetragnatha bishopi : Subadult female holotype from Demerara-Mahaica, Tibicuri-Cuyahà, Guyana, x.1931, Coll. Beccari (MZUF 531), examined.

Notes.

This species was described by Caporiacco (1947) based on a female subadult specimen from Guyana, which was examined by the first author during a visit to MZUF. The holotype was in bad condition, with a broken abdomen, both small immature chelicerae detached from the body and had been dried and subsequently been placed into alcohol. Therefore, this species cannot be correctly identified and is considered a nomen dubium.
