Bothriocyrtum tractabile Saito 1933

Description

Bothriocyrtum tractabile Saito, 1933

Bothriocyrtum tractabile Saito, 1933: 33, Figs. 2 a-d; Lee, 1964: 10, pl. 1, Figs. b, c; Song, Zhu & Chen, 1999: 36.

Remarks. – Saito (1933) described this species from a single female collected from northern Taiwan, with only sketchy descriptions and illustrations of genitalia, spinnerets and tarsal claws. Subsequently, Kayashima (1943) and Lee (1964) both recorded this species but only supplemented additional dorsal body illustration and did not give sufficient description for taxonomic purposes. The type specimen might be lost, and nobody has collected it again up to now, so it has been listed as a species inquirenda in Song, Zhu & Chen (1999).
