On the taxonomy of southern South American species of the wolf spider genus Allocosa (Araneae: Lycosidae: Allocosinae)

Abstract: Three species of the genus Allocosa Banks, 1900 from southern South America are redescribed: Allocosa alticeps (Mello-Leitão, 1944), A. brasiliensis (Petrunkevitch, 1910) and A. senex (Mello-Leitão, 1945). The female of A. senex is described for the first time and the species is revalidated. A new species, A. marindia sp. nov. from southern Uruguay and southern Brazil is described. The new species is distinguished by the flattened terminal apophysis of the male bulb and the conspicuous pointed projections on t… Show more

“…One of the most controversial issues in South American lycosid taxonomy is that most species were described and placed within Holarctic genera (i.e., Lycosa, Par-dosa, Alopecosa, Arctosa). Furthermore, Roewer (1955Roewer ( , 1959 reassigned several described species of Lycosidae to other genera in the family, based mainly on highly variable characters, using in most cases the original description as a source of data without explaining the reason for those changes (Simó et al 2017). This problem was solved in some subfamilies such as Sosippinae, Artoriinae, and Zoicinae (Piacentini and Grismado 2009;Piacentini 2014;Piacentini et al 2017) but species within the South American Lycosinae, Pardosinae and Allocosinae are still probably misplaced.…”

“…Dondale and Redner (1990) suggested that Allocosinae of South America are mostly unknown and they would not be congeneric with those of Central and North America. Despite recent contributions (Brescovit and Taucare-Ríos 2013;Simó et al 2017), the taxonomic knowledge of South American species of Allocosinae remains scarce because many of the species were described based on a single sex, possess descriptions that are insufficiently informative, and/or are poorly illustrated. This makes recognition difficult at the species level, especially since members of this group possess great morphological similarity in their sexual characters (Simó et al 2017).…”

“…En Uruguay existen cerca de treinta especies de arañas lobo, distribuidas en las subfamilias Allocosinae, Lycosinae y Sosippinae (Castro O`Neil, 2010;Piacentini y Ramírez, 2019;Pintos, Toscano-Gadea, Hagopián, Laborda y Aisenberg, 2019). Existe una larga tradición en estudios de taxonomía, comportamiento sexual y ecología de esta familia en nuestro país, pero las investigaciones han estado centradas en pocas especies (Costa, 1975(Costa, , 1979Aisenberg y Costa, 2008;Castro O´Neil, 2010;González et al, 2013;Toscano-Gadea y Costa, 2016;Simó, Lise, Pompozzi y Laborda, 2017;Toscano-Gadea y González, 2019 Tabla 1. Variables consideradas para cada una de las 14 especies de Lycosidae seleccionadas con sus respectivas referencias.…”

“…Los Lycosidae, comúnmente llamadas arañas lobo, es una de las familias más diversas de araneomorfas (Foelix, 2011). El conocimiento de la subfamilia Allocosinae en Sudamérica es escaso, en las últimas décadas se ha avanzado en estudios de taxonomía, comportamiento y ecología particularmente en dos especies: Allocosa senex (Mello-Leitão, 1945) y Allocosa marindia (Aisenberg et al, 2007Aisenberg & Costa, 2008;Simó et al, 2017). Estas especies viven en simpatría en arenales costeros, tanto oceánicos, estuarinos como dulceacuícolas de Brasil y Uruguay, y en el caso de A. senex también en Argentina (Simó et al, 2017).…”

Construyen cuevas donde permanecen durante el día y en los meses más fríos del año, volviéndose activas en las noches de verano (Costa, 1995;Costa et al, 2006;Aisenberg, 2014).…”
