Caporiacco (1939), Sherwood (2024), and WSC (2025) indicate that the species was described based on a juvenile specimen, while Berdondini &amp; Whitman (2003) mentioned that the holotype is an adult female. The photograph of the holotype given here leaves no doubt that it is an adult female. The shape of the epigyne, as well as the body shape and pattern, does not allow me to speculate about the relationships of the genus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/885C9B680B7A242AFF47A7B6D3FEFEB3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It remains unclear who was P.L. Koch. I was unable to locate any publications by Koch dealing with spiders.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/885C9B680B7B242AFF47A0C6D57AFCCB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Originally placed in Metadiaea Mello-Leitão, 1929 (a genus currently considered monotypic), its habitus and epigyne are dissimilar to those of the generotype, M. magnus (Keyserling, 1880) . Instead, they resemble Misumenoides sensu Lehtinen &amp; Marusik (2008), although these authors did not study the type species of Misumenoides . When describing the species, Caporiacco overlooked the ventral spines on the metatarsi of legs III and IV.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/885C9B680B7B2429FF47A79FD513FEB3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Based on habitus and male palpal morphology, the placement of D. argentoculata within Oxytate appears correct. Caporiacco's (1940: fig. 3) single illustration of the male palp provides limited detail; it fails to show the retrolateral conical tibial outgrowth or clearly depict the embolus course and length.</p><p>Oxytate jannonei resembles O. argentoculata but differs in having: (1) a longer embolus originating from the center of the tegulum (vs. originating from approximately the 7 o'clock position), and (2) a distinct conical retrolateral outgrowth on the tibia (vs. lacking such an outgrowth).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/885C9B680B782429FF47A4F4D2E7F830	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

G. Marcuzzi (MZUF 657, 658) .</p><p>Comments. The species is known only from the original descrption. Caporiacco (1955) reported numerous males and females from Maiquetía and Caracas, along with additional specimens from other localities. Both sexes were illustrated. Berlandini &amp; Whitman (2003) mentioned only two syntypes —a male and a juvenile female— deposited in Florence. It appears that most specimens, are deposited at the Museo de Biología, Universidad Central de Venezuela in Caracas (Caporiacco, 1955). Based on its body shape, abdominal pattern, male palpal morphology, and especially an epigyne featuring a scape-like structure unknown in other thomisids, this species is unrelated to the generotype S. globosum (Fabricius, 1775) . Consequently, it is very likely that the genus is entirely absent from the New World.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/885C9B680B79242FFF47A7FCD02CFE97	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
