I apologize if a similar question has already been raised, but I didn't find it.
The Ussuri teliphon (Typopeltis amurensis)is a species of tailed spider(Thelyphonida).It is mentioned in many reports and reference books in reviews of the fauna of our Far East.I found the following information about it:"T. amurensis was described from Primorye (Olga Bay) in the 80s of the last century (the year before last) and subsequently was not found (the type specimen is lost). Possible presence of flagellates in the South. Primorye, with its humid and relatively warm climate, cannot be completely excluded, but it is possible that the type specimen was accidentally introduced. Judging by the description, it resembles T. niger (and may even be identical with it) - the most northerly. from the Chinese species. Indications of T. amurensis from China (prov. Guangdong) are based on an erroneous definition of T. cantonensis"
So it turns out-is it possible that this is a non-existent view?Who owns the find and description of this species?And how did information about it,without proper verification, get into various scientific literature of the USSR?Does anyone know anything about this issue?Has anyone purposefully searched for this view?Thank you in advance.
