A review of some south american species of jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) described by Mello-Leitão from Brasil, with resolution of the genus Asaphobelis

Abstract

The types of 18 species of Salticidae described by Mello-Leitão from Brasil were re-examined and redescribed if necessary

Description of a new species of <I>Pseudofluda</I> Mello-Leitão 1928 (Salticidae: Dendryphantini: Dendryphantina) from Chaco, Argentina

“…This subtribe is supported by molecular data and by some morphological features proposed by Maddison (2015), such as a carina on the underside of the male chelicera, the coil of the spiral embolus folded back and hidden behind the base of the embolus, S-shaped epigynal openings, and sexual dimorphism that often involves enlarged chelicerae and first legs in males. The genus Pseudofluda Mello-Leitão 1928 is considered a part of the tribe Dendryphantini due to the palpus morphology (Edwards et al 2005, Maddison 2015). This genus currently contains three ant-like and small spiders (Nadal & Rubio 2019).…”

A new jumping spider species of the genus Maeota (Araneae: Salticidae: Euophryini), with new faunistic data of the tribe from Colombia

“…In the same form, the genus Ilargus Simon, 1901 includes ten accepted species distributed in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Brazil (Galiano 1980, Braul et al 1997, Edwards et al 2005, Galvis 2015, World Spider Catalog 2016, whose males can be recognized by their large palpal bulbs, with large proximal tegular lobes, embolus long with a wide spiral, and usually finger-like RTA (retrolateral tibial apophysis); while females can be recognized by their large epigynal windows, with a median septum, with short to long copulatory ducts (Zhang & Maddison 2015). The genus Anasaitis Bryant, 1950 includes 21 accepted species distributed mainly in the Greater Antilles, with only two species inhabiting continental lands: A. canalis (Chamberlin, 1925) from Panamá and A. canosa (Walckenaer, 1837) from United States and Cuba (Bryant 1950, Edwards 1999, Zhang & Maddison 2012b, World Spider Catalog 2016.…”
