"September 2, 1987.".

"The spider superfamily Migoidea is represented by four species and genera. Three belong to the family Migidae: Migas vellardi Zapfe (the female of which is described for the first time, and which remains of uncertain placement within the subfamily Miginae), the new genus and species Mallecomigas schlingeri (assigned, for the time being, to the probably paraphyletic subfamily Calathotarsinae, although it may prove to represent the sister group of all other migids), and Calathotarsus coronatus Simon (the male of which is described for the first time). The fourth species belongs to the family Actinopodidae and the new genus Plesiolena, based on Missulena bonneti (Zapfe), the female of which is described for the first time; Plesiolena is hypothesized to be more closely related to the Australian genus Missulena than to the tropical American genus Actinopus"--P.
