Comment:
Originally published as Pirata indiginus, but the accepted name was changed in late 2016 to Pirata indigina in the World Spider Catalog. There was no indication of whether the original author considered the epithet to be a noun or an ajective, and it can be either in Latin. Under ICZN Art. 31.2.2, it must be treated as a noun in apposition, not an adjectival usage. Therefore the original spelling must be retained without changing the gender to match that of the current genus
