Agyneta paquini Dupérré, Nadine, 2013 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Agyneta paquini Dupérré, Nadine, 2013, Zootaxa 3674: 135-136.
Materials Examined
Type material:Male holotype from New Mexico, 4-5 miles N of Jemez, C.C. Hoff (AMNH). EXAMINED.
Etymology
Etymology: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Dr. Pierre Paquin, arachnologist and cave biologist.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis: Males are differentiated from all species in the genus by their elongated, L-shaped lamella characteristica (Fig. 439) and their squared and rugose cymbial tubercles (Fig. 440).
