“…Vicirionessa gen. nov. is closely related to both Evarcha Simon, 1902 andHyllus C.L. Koch, 1846. Unfortunately, both of these latter genera are poorly defined and each contains a significant diversity in genital morphology (see for example Kanesharatnam & Benjamin (2021) for Evarcha). Until both Evarcha and Hyllus are critically revised, the exact limits of Vicirionessa will remain unclear.…”

This paper contains the results of research on a large assemblage of jumping spiders collected by J.-C. Ledoux from Ivory Coast in 1974–75. In total, 105 species are included. Three new genera are erected Pulcherula gen. nov., Sphericula gen. nov. and Vicirionessa gen. nov. Two generic names are synonymized, Polemus Simon, 1902 with Baryphas Simon, 1902 and Brancus Simon, 1902 with Thyene Simon, 1885. Twenty eight new species are described: Afraflacilla albopunctata sp. nov. (♀), Ansienulina lamottei sp. nov. (♂), Asemonaea pusilla sp. nov. (♀), Detalik cavally sp. nov. (♀), Evarcha zougoussi sp. nov. (♀), Heliophanus (Heliophanus) minimus sp. nov. (♂♀), Hyllus ignotus sp. nov. (♀), Hyllus solus sp. nov. (♀), Hyllus unicolor sp. nov. (♀), Icius bandama sp. nov. (♂♀), Langona recta sp. nov. (♂), Malizna zabkai sp. nov. (♀), Menemerus niangbo sp. nov. (♀), Myrmarachne galea sp. nov. (♀), Phintella brevis sp. nov. (♂), Phintella globosa sp. nov. (♀), Phintella occidentalis sp. nov. (♂), Phintella transversa sp. nov. (♂), Pochytoides mirabilis sp. nov. (♂♀), Pochytoides tonkoui sp. nov. (♀), Pochytoides tournieri sp. nov. (♂), Pulcherula magna gen. et sp. nov. (♂), Rhene ferkensis sp. nov. (♀), Sonoita ledouxi sp. nov. (♂♀), Sphericula globulifera gen. et sp. nov. (♀), Thiratoscirtus silvestris sp. nov. (♂♀), Tusitala bandama sp. nov. (♀) and Tusitala cornuta sp. nov. (♂). Five specific names are synonymized: Polemus chrysochirus Simon, 1902 with Baryphas jullieni Simon, 1902, Viciria mondoni Berland & Millot, 1941with Malloneta guineensis Simon, 1902, Brancus lacrimosus Wesołowska & Edwards 2008 with Vicirionessa fuscimana (Simon, 1903), Viciria monodi Berland & Millot, 1941 and Viciria equestris pallida Berland & Millot, 1941 with Vicirionessa equestris (Simon, 1903). Hyllus natali peckhamorum Berland & Millot, 1941 is removed from synonymy of Hyllus brevitarsis Simon, 1902, revalidated and its rank is raised as Hyllus peckhamorum Berland & Millot, 1941 stat. nov. Also rank of Telamonia aequipes minor Lessert, 1925 is elevated as Phintella minor (Lessert, 1925) stat. nov. Menemerus dubius Berland & Millot, 1941 is removed from nomina dubia. This species is considered valid and is redescribed. A lectotype is designated for it. The male of Mexcala torquata Wesołowska, 2009 and females of Hyllus tuberculatus Wanless & Clark, 1975, Iranattus principalis (Wesołowska, 2000), Myrmarachne eidmanni Roewer, 1942 and Thiratoscirtus tentativus (Szűts & Jocqué, 2001) are described for the first time. Many new combinations are proposed. Twenty ex Brancus are recombined: Hyllus nigeriensis (Wesołowska & Edwards, 2012) comb. nov., Thyene blaisei (Simon, 1902) comb. nov., Thyene calebi (Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2018) comb. nov., Thyene mutica (Simon, 1902) comb. nov., Thyene verdieri (Berland & Millot, 1941) comb. nov., Vicirionessa besanconi (Berland & Millot, 1941) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa fuscimana (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa mustela (Simon, 1902) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa niveimana (Simon, 1902) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa occidentalis (Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa peckhamorum (Lessert, 1927) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa signata (Dawidowicz & Wesołowska, 2016) gen. et comb. nov. Four ex Viciria are recombined: Vicirionessa chabanaudi (Fage, 1923) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa equestris (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa prenanti (Berland & Millot, 1941) gen. et comb. nov., Vicirionessa tergina (Simon, 1903) gen. et comb. nov. and one species ex Hyllus: Vicirionessa albocincta (Thorell, 1899) gen. et comb. nov. Furthermore, the following two new combinations are proposed: Thiratoscirtus tentativus (Szűts & Jocqué, 2001) comb. nov. (ex Bacelarella) and Baryphas galeatus (Simon, 1902) comb. nov. (ex Polemus). For 11 species known so far from single records new data are presented: Heliophanus butemboensis Wesołowska, 1986, Hyllus lwoffi Berland & Millot, 1941, Hyllus tuberculatus Wanless & Clark, 1975, Menemerus dubius Berland & Millot, 1941, Mexcala torquata Wesołowska, 2009, Neaetha maxima Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011, Pachyballus miniscutulus Wesołowska, Azarkina & Wiśniewski 2020, Phintella paludosa Wesołowska & Edwards, 2012, Thiratoscirtus gambari Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2011, Tusitala guineensis Berland & Millot, 1941 and Tusitala lutzi Lessert, 1927.

From all the described Colopsus species (see Kanesharatnam & Benjamin [2021]), C. cinereus differs in having the tibial apophysis being twice as short as the cymbium (Fig. 16; about equal in other species) and the obtuse proximal extension of the tegulum (Fig.…”

New species and records of the jumping spiders from India and Nepal (Aranei: Salticidae)

for 508 valid species in 61 genera (plus 73 invalid names) [Canard, 2005]. There is no doubt that the actual number of Salticidae occurring in South Asia is hardly less than that in Europe (sensu Canard [2005]), but likely to be higher. Hence, it is not surprising that any new collection of Salticidae from South Asia brings new records and species. In recent years, two salticid collections from India and Nepal fell into the author's hands; both prove to be interesting, containing both undescribed species and new records to the regional faunas.The aims of the present paper are as follows:(1) to provide new faunistic data from Nepal and India for 11 salticid species; (2) to describe a new Carrhotus species from India; and (3) to describe unknown females for two poorly known or recently described species. Material and methodsThis work is based on museum collections of jumping spiders which were sent to the author for identification. A total of 35 adult specimens, including those of Thyene imperialis (Rossi, 1846) from the Mediterranean used for comparative purposes, belonging to 12 species of Salticidae have been studied. The depositories of the studied material are abbreviates in the text as follows: BMNH -British Museum of Natural History, London, UK (J. Beccaloni);

The genus was earlier considered a synonym of Evarcha Simon, 1902[Prószyński, 1984, but has recently been revalidated based on both morphological and molecular evidence [Kanesharatnam, Benjamin, 2021]. Colopsus was recorded from India with the discovery of C. cinereus Kanesharatnam et Benjamin, 2021[Logunov, 2021a, which was originally described from Sri Lanka [Kanesharatnam, Benjamin, 2021]. While studying salticid specimens from Karnataka, we have found out that they are very similar both to Hyllus manu Caleb, Christudhas, Laltanpuii et Chitra, 2014 known from South India and to C. cinereus known from India and Sri Lanka. In order to establish the identity of the newly collected specimens and C. cinereus, the types of H. manu have been re-examined. Thus, the present paper aims: (1) to describe a new Colopsus species from Karnataka, India, (2) to provide new detailed digital images of H. manu, and (3) to synonymise the name C. cinereus with H. manu. Materials and methodsSpecimens were hand-collected and preserved in 70% ethanol. Images of live specimens were captured either with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera with 60 mm Zuiko macro lens, or a OnePlus 6T mobile phone attached with SKYVIK 25 mm macro lens or Apexel Professional 12x/24x. Morphological examination was carried out under a Leica SAPO stereomicroscope and photomicrographs were taken with a Leica MC190 HD camera and processed with the Leica Application Suite (LAS) version 4.13. Left male palps were detached and examined in detail and photo-ABSTRACT. A new jumping spider species, Colopsus arkavathi Caleb sp.n. (#$), is described from Karnataka, India. A new combination, C. manu (Caleb, Christudhas, Laltanpuii et Chitra, 2014) comb.n. (ex. Hyllus) is proposed; the latter species name is recognized as a senior synonym of C. cinereus Kanesharatnam et Benjamin, 2021 syn.n. A detailed description, illustrations, and a map showing the records of all the known Indian Colopsus congeners are provided.
