Remarks.
This species is the only
Arctosa
collected inside a cave. It could be an accidental occurrence since the description made by the authors does not indicate any morphological adaptation for subterranean environments. Regarding the depository of
holotype
, after consulting Dra. Jiménez, she reported that may be deposited in the UNAM. However, the current curator Dr. E. González-Santillan provided information and pictures of
paratypes
, from same locality and date, but none of them corresponds to the
holotype
. Therefore, here we conclude the
holotype
is lost.
Emended diagnosis.
The structure referred as a stout spur and a small tooth in the median apophysis by
Jiménez & Dondale (1984
: fig. 3) is what we call here as posterior arm (Pa), and the small tooth, the retrolateral arm (Ra).Another small tooth on the terminal apophysis, used diagnostically too, is recognized here as the minute palea protuberance. This protuberance is also present in
Arctosa jibarosa
sp. nov.
,
Arctosa costenola
sp. nov.
and
Arctosa tenebrosa
.
Females can be distinguished by the largest and sinuous stalk of spermatheca (
Jimenez & Dondale 1984
: fig. 2).
