paralectotype
, one palp and right I-leg separate),
SMF

Atractides propatulus

type
, K.Viets 42768, Java, Tjibodas,

, Kali Tjiwalen,

.
Paralectotypes
SMF
4322
1♂
(on the same slide with
lectotype
),
SMF
4336 1♀ (both palps and left I-leg-5/6 separate), labeled like
lectotype
. The original description does not contain a
type
designation.
Remarks
. The specimens from Borneo differ in larger dimensions of idiosoma, I-leg-5/6 and palp. For clearing the taxonomic state of these populations, molecular techniques should be applied.
Distribution
. South Sumatra (
K. Viets 1935
), Sulawesi (
Pešić & Smit 2009
), Borneo (our study).
