Taxacom: Subspecies turns out to be valid species

[Francisco Welter-Schultes]

Dear Jan,
Steatoda concolor would be the correct name in such a case.

If this helps.

Best wishes

The type specimen of S. triangulosa concolor is a subadult female, but comparison with newly collected adult material of that undescribed species makes this very clear. My question: should the new species be named Steatoda concolor then?
