name for T heridion rubicunda (F. P.-Cambridge). NEW SYNONYMY. 
Examination of Keyserling’s type indicated that this species had 
been correctly determined. The internal female genitalia of Argentine 
specimens like the ones from Panama, have the posterior portion of 
the sacs of the internal genitalia ending in narrow extensions (Levi, 
1 955 > fig- 23 ) quite different from the broadly rounded sacs of C. 
albomaculata. Unlike C. albomaculata it has no white spots on abdo- 
men.
