ABSTRACT The type species of Phrurotimpus, Herpyllus alarius Hentz, was based on a female from Alabama; because Hentz's type specimens were destroyed long ago, the identity of this species has been controversial for over a century. Examination of Hentz's original color paintings of his specimen indicates that earlier authors, such as Bishop and Crosby, and Chamberlin and Ivie, were correct in arguing that Emerton erred in assigning the name to a species common in the northeastern United States. Unfortunately, Kaston (who had access only to the published, black- and-white illustrations) subsequently sided with Emerton, and that misidentification has been followed in all more recent literature. Phrurotimpus palustris (Banks) and P. annulatus Chamberlin and Ivie are removed from the synonymy of P. alarius and considered valid. P. palustris refers to the common northeastern species, whereas P. annulatus refers to a sibling species apparently restricted to the southeastern United States; Hentz's P. alarius is a member of a different species group entirely. Four other species are assigned to the palustris group, which is known only from the eastern United States and Canada: P. umbratilis (Bishop and Crosby), P. wallacei (Gertsch, here transferred from Phrurolithus), and two new species: P. sorkini from Georgia and Florida and P. bernikerae from Florida.

摘要 Phrurotimpus 的模式种 Herpyllus alarius Hentz 是基于来自阿拉巴马州的雌性；由于亨茨的模式标本很久以前就被摧毁了，这个物种的身份已经争论了一个多世纪。亨茨对其标本的原始彩色绘画的检查表明，早期的作者，如毕晓普和克罗斯比，以及张伯林和艾维，认为埃默顿将名称分配给美国东北部常见的物种是错误的。不幸的是，卡斯顿（他只能访问已发表的黑白插图）随后站在埃默顿一边，并且在所有最近的文献中都遵循了这种错误识别。Phrurotimpus palustris (Banks) 和 P. annulatus Chamberlin 和 Ivie 从 P. alarius 的同义词中删除并被认为是有效的。P。palustris 是指常见的东北部物种，而 P. annulatus 是指显然仅限于美国东南部的同胞物种；Hentz 的 P. alarius 完全属于不同的物种组。其他四个物种被归入 palustris 组，仅在美国东部和加拿大已知：P. umbratilis（Bishop 和 Crosby）、P. wallacei（Gertsch，这里从 Phrurolithus 转移）和两个新物种：P. umbratilis（Bishop 和 Crosby）。佐治亚州和佛罗里达州的 sorkini 和佛罗里达州的 P. bernikerae。
