Description

Zametopina calceata Simon, 1909

Zametopina calceata Simon, 1909: 123, ♂; Tang et al. 2010, 65–70, figs 1–18, ♂.

Material examined. 3 ♂, 1 ♀ see Tang et al. (2010: 66). 1 ♀, CHINA: Yunnan , Xishuangbanna, Mengla County, Menglun Town, Menglun Nature Reserve, July 1983, no other records.

Distribution. China (Yunnan), Vietnam.

Remarks. The genus Zametopina Simon, 1909 was erected for a male thomisid, Z. calceata Simon, 1909 from Vietnam. Both sexes of this species were recorded from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan about 100 years later (Tang et al. 2010). This species might turn out to belong to Talaini Simon, 1895 because the epigynum shows a posteriorly situated hood, the prosoma is tent-shaped, and other somatic characters are all similar to Talaus Simon, 1886.
