Description
Flirtea varicellosa (Mello-Leitão, 1944) comb. nov. (Figure 1 (b – c))
Neocynorta varicellosa Mello-Leitão 1944: 15, fig. 4

Type data
♂ lectotype, ♀ paralectotype, herein designated (ICZN 74.7.3), MNRJ 5057 (examined), from BRAZIL, Espírito Santo, Santa Teresa.
Rationale of the new generic assignment
We recognise this species as a member of Flirtea based on the large size, non-filiform legs, outline of dorsal scutum of beta type with narrow carapace in both sexes, size and orientation of spines in area III and a leuconoid blot pattern as a hollowed version of that in F. valida (Roewer, 1928).
