Tibiosa González-Sponga, 2006 : 10–11. Synonymized by Huber (2009) . Ceratopholcus Spassky, 1934 : 361 ; type species: Ceratopholcus maculipes Spassky, 1934 ; new synonymy. Justification of synonymy. Crossopriza maculipes ( Spassky, 1934 ) new combination . The type specimens (from Uzbekistan , Turkmenistan , and Tajikistan ) seem to be lost. Spassky’s original description suggests a species very similar (or even identical) to Crossopriza lyoni (Blackwall, 1867) . The examination (by BAH) of numerous specimens of Crossopriza from Uzbekistan , Turkmenistan , Tajikistan , Afghanistan , and Pakistan (mostly in ZMMU) has shown that C. maculipes is indeed very similar to but also clearly distinguishable from C. lyoni . The two species share a second pair of apophyses frontally on the male chelicerae (a putative synapomorphy of a species group that also includes C. johncloudsleyi Deeleman-Reinhold & van Harten, 2001 and several undescribed species; it is not present in the type species C. pristina Simon, 1890 ). Geographically, C. maculipes and C. lyoni do not seem to overlap, and the only other species of Crossopriza in the area mentioned above is an undescribed species with very different cheliceral armature and epigynum (definitely not the species described and illustrated by Spassky 1934 ).
