Jelski <i>leg.</i>, deposited in Polska Akademia Nauk, not examined). <i>Helvetia zebrina</i> Simon, 1901b: 158 (female lectotype and female paralectotype from Mato Grosso, Brazil, Germain <i>leg.</i>, deposited in MNHN 21184, examined); Galiano, 1963a: 362, pl.

Synonymized by Galiano, 1963b: 3. <i>Helvetia cancrimana</i>: Galiano, 1976: 51, figs 1-7; Platnick, 2007. Note. Since the type specimens of <i>Attus cancrimanus</i> have not been examined, the synonymy is established based on the very good illustrations by GALIANO (1976, figs 1-7). Diagnosis. Males of <i>Helvetia cancrimana</i> are similar to those of <i>H</i>. <i>humillima</i> by having a RTA with a very developed dorsal branch (Fig. 18; see GALIANO 1976, fig. 5), but differ by not having a ventral tiny projection on the base of the RTA and by having a shorter embolus.
