Chrysso makiling Murthappa & Malamel & Prajapati & Sebastian & Venkateshwarlu 2017, comb. nov.
Description
Chrysso makiling (Barrion-Dupo & Barrion, 2015) comb. nov.
Chrysso makiling Barrion-Dupo & Barrion, 2015; Figs. 1A–D (Generic name misspelled; description and illustration of ♀ [Type from Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve, Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines; A.T Barrion leg.; repository Arachnological collection of the UP Los Banos Museum of Natural History (UPLBMNH), College, laguna, Philippines- Not examined]).
Justification for the transfer. Barrion-Dupo & Barrion, (2015) described this species only from the female specimen. The original drawings and descriptive characters given by Barrion-Dupo & Barrion, (2015; Figs. 1A–D) indicate that this species shares the characteristic features of Meotipa rather than Chrysso: Opisthosoma with black lanceolate spines dorsally, long legs with lanceolate spines (in chrysso spines are sharp or needle like) middorsally and anteriodorsally. All these characters clearly suggest the evidence for the transfer and hereby we transfer this species from Chrysso to Meotipa.
