Taxonomy

edit

The species was first described in 1903 by George and Elizabeth Peckham under the name Philaeus manicus. In 1927, R. de Lessert considered it the same species as Pachypoessa albimana, described earlier by Eugène Simon in 1902. This synonymization was rejected by Wanda Wesołowska and Beata Tomasiewicz in 2008 and 2009.[2][3] Both species are now placed in the genus Nigorella, as N. manica and N. albimana.[3][4]
