Trichothyse perversa ( Simon, 1914) comb. nov.

Poecilochroa perversa Simon, 1914: 184 View in CoL , 221, figs 395–396 (syntype ♂: FRANCE: date and collector unknown, repository unknown, probably MNHN—not examined).

Description. Male. For description of the male, see Simon (1914).

Female. Unknown.

Justification of transfer. The illustration of the palp provided in Simon (1914: fig. 395) is diagnostic and was used for comparison. Even though we did not examine the type of P. perversa , the original illustration of the RTA of the male palp of this species shows that it has a robust RTA with an apical bifurcation, as seen in all known male Trichothyse species, in contrast to Poecilochroa sensu stricto and Macarophaeus (cf. Simon 1914: fig. 395 and Simon 1914: fig. 398, Fage 1929: fig. 1, Di Franco 2001: figs 3–4, Levy 1999: fig. 10, 2009: fig. 45, Fomichev & Marusik 2021: fig. 23, and Figs 109–110, 112 View FIGURES 109–115 , 116–117 View FIGURES 116–119 herein). We therefore propose the transfer of P. perversa to Trichothyse .

Distribution. Known only from France in Mediterranean Europe ( Fig. 121 View FIGURE 121 ).
