Name
Makdiops agumbensis (Tikader, 1969) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Selenops agumbensis Tikader 1969[1]: 252, figs 1–3.
Type material
Holotype female (ZSI; not examined):Agumbe Ghat, District Shimoga, Mysore, India, B.K. Tikader, 15.III.1965.
Remarks
We were unable to examine the type of Makdiops agumbensis comb. n. From the description and illustrations (Tikader 1969[1]), it is impossible to tell whether or not it is valid, or whether it is indeed a unique species. However, the description suggests it is a species of Makdiops rather than Selenops, viz,tibiae I and II have 4 pairs of ventral spines, the epigyne has large epigynal pockets, and the genital openings are located behind a sinuous margin (Tikader 1969[1]; fig. 2).
