A revision of the spider genus Gnaphosa (Araneae, Gnaphosidae) in America. Bulletin of the AMNH ; v. 155, article 1

Abstract

"The 26 new World species of Gnaphosa are diagnosed, described, and assigned to species groups. The genus Cylphosa Chamberlin is considered a junior synonym of Gnaphosa; the genera Callilepis Westring and Laronia Simon are removed from the Gnaphosinae. Nine new species are described: snohomish from Washington; maritima, saxosa, dentata, and salsa from the southwestern United States; and sonora, chihuahua, potosi and chiapas from Mexico. Seven specific names are newly synonymized: mulaiki Chamberlin and septentrionalis Fox, both with clara (Keyserling); subparvula Fox with mima Chamberlin; gosoga Chamberlin with californica Banks; distincta Banks and texana Chamberlin, both with fontinalis Keyserling; and peon Chamberlin with sericata (L. Koch). The males of utahana Banks, altudona Chamberlin, and sandersi Gertsch and Davis, and the female of orites Chamberlin are described for the first time. The European species microps Holm is newly recorded from America"--P. 3.
