Euprosthenopsis lesserti: Comments
Comment:
Unresolved priority issue shown by Platnick (2019, online World Spider Catalog v20.5). Euprosthenops armatus garambensis Lessert, 1928 is treated as conspecific with Euprosthenopsis lesserti (Roewer, 1955) (as a subspecies therein), yet is the senior name. If this placement is accepted, then according to priority the species should be known as Euprosthenopsis garambensis (Lessert, 1928). However, Platnick (pers. comm. 10/2011) avoids introducing nomenclatural changes regarding subspecies in the catalog unless/until those issues are addressed in the modern literature
Comment:
Originally published as 'lessertii', the -i ending version has apparently come into prevailing usage; see Platnick (2019, online World Spider Catalog v20.5)
