synthesis of quotations in the world literature since 1940,  with basic taxonomic data since 1758
[Version July, 2002]

Gen."Attinella" (Banks, 1895)

type: dorsata

. F dorsata (Banks, 1895) Nomen dubium California 
   Attus dorsatus Banks 1895a: 97 (D F). 
   A. d.: Richman, Cutler 1978: 83 (N - type destroyed in 1906) 
   Sitticus dorsatus: Richman 1979: 125 (proposes to synonymize with Sitticus absolutus  Gertsch et Mulaik, 1936 
   Catalogues: Bonnet 1955: 776; Roewer 1240 COLLECTIONS: Har - Type [?]. 
NB. I do not understand the reason for revival of the obsolete name when there is even no type
 specimen to prove identity with Sitticus absolutus. In my opinion both generic name Attinella and specific name
 dorsatus Banks 1895 should be considered "nomina dubia". J. Proszynski
