Drassus nocturnus
auct. nec Linnaeus, 1758 (misidentification)Type locality: Erlangen and Bamberg, Bayern, Germany Note: Pythonissa fumosa is often regarded as a nomen dubium. However, the original description shows that the taxon is very similar to Gnaphosa bicolor, except that the basal portion of the legs is yellow rather than red. However, the red portion of the legs in Gnaphosa bicolor can be vary dark or almost yellow. The color pattern described for Pythonissa fumosa is also similar to Drassyllus pumilus, but the size given for Pythonissa fumosa is much larger than the largest specimens of Drassyllus pumilus. Thus, I suggest that Pythonissa fumosa is based on light colored specimens of Gnaphosa bicolor. Identification Distribution Biology |
