Description

Titanattus pallidus Mello-Leitão, 1943

Titanattus pallidus Mello-Leitão, 1943: 265 (male holotype from Pinheiro [Piraí, Pinheiral] [22.517705°S, 44.002572°W], Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, deposited in MNRJ 1165, examined by photos); Edwards et al. 2005; World Spider Catalog 2017.

Diagnosis and description. See Edwards et al. (2005).

Distribution. Known only from Brazil (Mello-Leitão 1943; World Spider Catalog 2017). Note. Titanattus pallidus Mello-Leitão, 1943 (unknown female) can be recognized using illustrations of Edwards et al. (2005: figs 1‒3). The type specimen is poorly conserved, possibly because it has dried out several times through the decades.
