type Demelodos iheringi Mello-Leitão, 1943; gender masculine

N.B.: in the original description, Mello-Leitão, 1943e: 164 used two spellings of this name, Demelodos and Demolodos; following the assumption of Caporiacco, 1948a: 632, that the name is an anagram of Dolomedes, the spelling Demelodos is assumed to be the correct one; the spelling Demolodes, used by Roewer and subsequent catalogs, is incorrect; placed in the "Trechalea genus-group" by Sierwald, 1990: 51.
