Zelurus montivagus Lent & Wygodzinsky 1955

Description

Zelurus montivagus Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1955

(Figs. 37-44)

Zelurus montivagus was described based on a male and two females from Cochabamba, Bolivia (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1955). The latter are deposited in CTIOC and were examined here (Figs. 37-44). An additional female from the same locality was mentioned by Lent and Wygodzinsky (1957), without other references to the species. Lent and Wygodzinsky (1955) stated that Z. montivagus belong to the fulvomaculatus group of Zelurus and close to Z. abalosi Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1951.

Type material. Zelurus montivagus Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1955 [CTIOC]. Paratype female (“ allotype ”): [bordered label:] [handwritten:] Zelurus montivagus / Lent + Wygod., / 1955 / [printed:] H.

Comments. The female paratypes examined agree well with the original description (Lent and Wygodzinsky 1955) and the comparison with the type specimens of Z. galvaoi sp. nov. corroborates the diagnosis of the latter as presented above.
