Tetragnatha vacillans Marusik & Larsen 2018, comb. n.

Description

Tetragnatha vacillans (Butler, 1876), comb. n. (fig. 34)

Meta vacillans Butler, 1876: 441 (♂, ♀); Butler, 1878: 503, pl. 52, f. 4 (♂, ♀).

Note. The species is known from Rodrigues Island. Although the copulatory organs of this species are not illustrated, figures of the habitus clearly indicate that it belongs to Tetragnatha, and therefore we suggest a new combination.
