“…30); also by absent or short epigynal scape. From representatives of Pribumia by ridges ventrally on procursus (Huber and Leh Moi Ung 2016: figs 17, 26, 34, 49; absent in A.tahai ), by ventral apophysis on male palpal femur, and possibly by wide opening of palpal tarsal organ (Huber 2011a: figs 481, 686). From other similar genera on Borneo ( Calapnita , Leptopholcus , Kelabita ) by combination of: male colouration (Huber and Leh Moi Ung 2016: figs 8, 61; male ocular area and palps black; similar only in Kelabita ), by bipartite distal apophyses on male chelicerae (Huber and Leh Moi Ung 2016: figs 35, 47; similar only in some Calapnita ), by cylindrical rather than worm-shaped abdomen (Huber and Leh Moi Ung 2016: figs 8–15, 61–68; in contrast to Calapnita and Leptopholcus ).…”

The phylogeny of pholcid spiders: a critical evaluation of relationships suggested by molecular data (Araneae, Pholcidae)

With almost 600 species, the latest molecular phylogeny of pholcid spiders (Eberle et al. 2018, BMC Evolutionary Biology) more than triples the largest previously available molecular phylogeny of the family. At the level of genera, the coverage is high (86%, i.e., 75 of the 87 named genera), and at the level of subfamilies it is complete. The present paper is an effort to critically evaluate the implications of this phylogeny for pholcid systematics. The analyses largely support the division of Pholcidae into five subfamilies: Ninetinae, Arteminae, Modisiminae, Smeringopinae, and Pholcinae. Their compositions are largely unchanged except that Chisosa Huber, 2000 is moved from Ninetinae to Arteminae. The positions of Artema Walckenaer, 1837 and Priscula Simon, 1893 in this system remain dubious. Relationships among subfamilies remain weakly supported, except for the sister group relationship between Smeringopinae and Pholcinae. Several major clades within subfamilies are separated from each other along geographical boundaries; for example within Modisiminae a South American clade and a Central + North American + Caribbean clade, and within Smeringopinae a Sub-Saharan clade and a clade ranging from the Mediterranean to Central Asia. Central + North American + Caribbean clades in both Ninetinae and Modisiminae may originate from South American ancestors.Many taxonomic changes are suggested by the data, some of which are formally implemented herein. Two new genera result from the splitting of Calapnita Simon, 1892 and Panjange Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman, 1983, respectively: Nipisa Huber, gen. n.; and Apokayana Huber, gen. n. Nine new genera result from splitting of Pholcus: Cantikus Huber, gen. n.; Kelabita Huber, gen. n.; Kintaqa Huber, gen. n.; Muruta Huber, gen. n.; Meraha Huber, gen. n.; Paiwana Huber, gen. n.; Pribumia Huber, gen. n.; Teranga Huber, gen. n.; and Tissahamia Huber, gen. n. Two genera are newly synonymized: Platnicknia Özdikmen & Demir, 2009 is synonymized with Modisimus Simon, 1893; Sihala Huber, 2011 is synonymized with Pholcus Walckenaer, 1805. Pholcusagadir Huber, 2011 is moved to Micropholcus Deeleman-Reinhold & Prinsen, 1987, resulting in the new combination Micropholcusagadir (Huber, 2011).

“…Pholcidae are among the most species-rich spider families, and over 1100 species have been described within the last 20 years. However, published data on egg sizes and egg numbers are mostly anecdotal, as in other spiders (Huber, 1994(Huber, , 2015(Huber, , 2017Huber et al, 2014;Huber & Leh Moi Ung, 2016;Huber & Nuñeza, 2015;Huber & Pérez-González, 2001;Huber & Wunderlich, 2006;Kaston, 1948;Stefani et al, 2012). A few studies exist with larger sample sizes, but always with a very limited number of taxa (Huber, 1997a(Huber, , 1997b(Huber, , 1998a(Huber, , 1998bSkow & Jakob, 2003;Uhl, 1993Uhl, , 1998.…”

This study explores the potential use of photos for extracting basic data on spider eggs and presents a first rough but comprehensive overview of egg sizes, egg numbers per egg sac, and egg sac shapes in 468 species of pholcid spiders representing 73 genera. Egg diameters ranged 0.29-1.73 mm; egg numbers ranged 3-110. Egg sacs were mostly round or oval, but tended to be elongated in species with elongated abdomens, and flattened in very short-legged species. Potential effects of female body size, abdomen shape, and microhabitat on egg size and number were evaluated by phylogenetic generalized linear models across all investigated species. Our analyses showed that both egg size and egg number are strongly determined by female body size. We found a clear trend for small species to have relatively larger eggs. Ecology and body shape also played a role, albeit at a considerably lower level and with complex interactions among variables: Relative to body size, grounddwelling species had smaller eggs than space and leaf dwellers; species with a long abdomen had larger eggs than species with a short abdomen. The effect of body size on clutch size depended on body shape and microhabitat: It was slightly weaker in space-dwelling than in other species; species with long abdomens had more eggs in ground and leaf microhabitats, whereas space dwellers carried more eggs when having short abdomens.
