Austrohahnia isophthalma
(
Mello-Leitão, 1941
)
new combination
Hahnia isophthalma
Mello-Leitão, 1941
: 193
, fig. 58 (two subadult
syntypes
[
1 ♂
, 1 ♀] from
ARGENTINA
:
La Rioja
: Chilecito, deposited in MLP 15015, examined).
World Spider Catalog 2014
.
Note:
In the original publication, Mello-Leitão refers only to the female, but his figure 58 is of a subadult male (
Pereira
et al.
1999
). The bigger body size and a patch of thick, short setae ventrally on the abdomen suggest that this species belongs to
Austrohahnia
and therefore the new combination is suggested here. Specimens are not identifiable to species level; the original description is very ambiguous, and would apply similarly to any of species in the genus
Austrohahnia
. Hence, it is here considered a nomen dubium.
