Description
Myrmarachne robusta (Peckham and Peckham, 1892)
(Figure 41A–B)
Material examined
Holotype of Salticus robustus from Burma (Myanmar, MCZ 22915), 1 male, Figure 41A, B. Myrmarachne maratha Tikader, 1973 New synonymy. Described from Myanmar; distribution now extended to India.
Distribution
India, Myanmar.
Remarks
The description of M. maratha fits the holotype of M. robusta. I thus consider the former a junior subjective synonym of the latter.
