Progress or burden? Formal description of every apparently new species available in collections is neither necessary nor useful.

A new species of the Sub-Saharan spider genus Huber, 2003 is described that has been collected in garden centers in Poland and the UK. Its closest known relative is probably Huber, 2003, known from Free State Province in South Africa. Working on the premise that placing species in time and space is the fundamental task of taxonomy, and acknowledging that we cannot provide biologically meaningful spatial information for this species, we prefer open nomenclature to make this species known to science without formally describing it, using the unique provisional name sp.
