Hypsinotus nitens Keyserling, 1891: 57, pl. 2, fig. 30 (lectotype and paralectotype from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil, BMNH; not re-examined).
Corinna nitens; Simon, 1897: 192; Petrunkevitch, 1911: 468; Mello-Leitão, 1923: 54; 1927: 398; Roewer, 1954: 598; Bonnet, 1956; 1214. Bonaldo, 2000 (figs. 119–122): 41; Bosselaers & Jocqué, 2002: 250.
Diestus altifrons Mello-Leitão, 1945: 260 (holotype from Pindapoy, Misiones, Argentina, II.1942, Bridarolli col., MLP 16575, not re-examined); Roewer, 1954: 602; Arrozpide, 1986: 17. Synonymized with Corinna nitens by Bonaldo, 2000.
Diagnosis. Males of Corinna nitens resemble those of C. rubripes by having the tip of the conductor extending retrolaterally, but differ by the obtuse apex of RTA and by the absence of both the proapical tegular projection and the quadrangular process on conductor base (Bonaldo, 2000: figs. 119–120); females ressembles those of C. rubripes and C. kuryi n. sp. by the copulatory opening posteriorly placed, but differ by the epigynal plate extremely projected posteriorly, copulatory ducts not visible ventrally and copulatory opening placed in a small posterior atrium (Bonaldo, 2000: figs. 121–122).
Description. See Bonaldo, 2000.
