On the synonymy of Aracus Thorell, 1887 with Zelotes Gistel, 1848 (Araneae, Gnaphosidae, Zelotinae) Author Sankaran, Pradeep M. text Zootaxa 2022 2022-03-02 5105 1 145 147 journal article 20362 10.11646/zootaxa.5105.1.7 4a956aa6-5460-4a41-9458-f33dc3cbdba0 1175-5326 6332521 02DC88BB-640B-4C13-AC24-235E6F5202F4 Zelotes captator ( Thorell, 1887 ) comb. nov. Figs 1–6 Aracus captator Thorell, 1887: 36 (Description of female). Aracus captor Simon, 1893: 375 (lapsus). Type material. Holotype female from MYANMAR (=BURMA/BIRMANIA): Minhla : ( 17°58’N , 95°42’E ), G.B. Comotto leg., 1884, repository MSNG , Genova , Italy (no register number), examined based on photographs. Description. For description of the female, see Thorell (1887) . Male . Unknown. Justification of the transfer. The proposed species transfer is based on the similarities of the epigynum of A . captator with that of the subterraneus -group of Zelotes as listed in the generic synonymy section (compare Fig. 5 with Platnick & Shadab 1983 : figs 4, 8, 11, 16). As I was unable to examine its vulva, therefore it is not possible to mention whether Z . captator comb. nov. is still a valid species or needs to be synonymised with any other known species in the subterraneus -group.
