Comments
. This species was described from
Argentina
based on a female. The description is very brief and does not provide any essential details like the
type
of calamistrum, or the shape of the cribellum and epigyne.
Types
could not be located by
Lehtinen (1967)
, who suggested it belonged either to
Metaltella
Mello-Leitão, 1931 (Desidae)
or
Geoldia
Keyserling, 1891 (
Titanoecidae
). The latter genus and even family are unknown in
Argentina
so far (WSC 2019).
