Corinna C. L. Koch, 1842 Corinna C. L. Koch, 1842: 17. Type species by original designation, Corinna rubripes C. L. Koch, 1842; Bonaldo, 2000: 37 (list of synonyms); Bosselaers & Jocqué, 2002: 250. Diagnosis and Description. See Bonaldo (2000). Note. The single putative synapomorphy proposed for Corinna by Bonaldo (1996, 2000), the sclerotized conductor in the male palp, has not been phylogenetically tested. While there is little dispute that this condition really refers to a modification of the hyaline conductor, it is not clear if this state is the result of a single event or if the various shapes of the sclerotized conductor across the Corinna species groups represent different instances of transformation. A formal phylogenetic analysis may lead to the redefinition of the genus to include fewer groups of species or even only the species here addressed.
