RemarkThe original description indicates MZSP as the type repository; however, no specimen of Cyrtopholis zorodes was located. Bücherl et al. (1971: 124) and Silva-Moreira et al. (2010: 68) agree that the specimen MNRJ 29, holotype ♀ from São Paulo, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil is the true holotype. The holotype is in bad condition without SR and legs. Bücherl mentioned stridulatory bristles on the palp trochanter and first leg. The aspect of the SR and the type locality (São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil) allow us to establish Cyrtopholis zorodes as a junior synonymy of Acanthoscurria gomesiana Mello-Leitão, 1923.
