Koch, 1875 Amaurobius tristis L. Koch, 1875b: 31 , pl. 3, f. 3 ( ♀ ). Comment . This species is known from Eritrea only. The type deposition is unknown. Lehtinen (1967) supposed that it is a member of the Titanoecidae . Judging from the schematic figure of the epigyne, an abdomen lacking a pattern and its size it could be Pandava laminata ( Thorell, 1878 ) (Titanoecidae) , a species known from this region. The epigyne illustrated by L. Koch is rather more similar to that in Nurscia , and particularly to N. albosignata Simon, 1874 and N. albomaculata (Lucas, 1846) , but unlike in A. tristis all species of Nurscia have an abdominal pattern formed by a series of white paired spots. Nurscia albomaculata is known from Northern Africa (Bonnet 1959).
