Callilepis schuszteri is a species of spider in the family Gnaphosidae. It has a wide Holarctic distribution, being found across Europe, Turkey, the Caucasus, Russia (from the European regions to the Far East), China, Korea, and Japan.[1]
The species was originally described as Gnaphosa schuszteri by Otto Herman in 1879 from specimens collected in Hungary.[2] It was later transferred to the genus Callilepis by Chyzer & Kulczyński in 1897.[3]
Two junior synonyms were established by Norman I. Platnick in 1975: Pythonissa flavitarsis Simon, 1880 and Callilepis bipunctata Yaginuma, 1960.[4]
