E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Phlegra Simon, Phintella Strand and Yamangalea Maddison are newly recorded from Australia, each genus being represented here by one new species: Phlegra proszynskii, Phintella monteithi and Yamangalea lubinae. The diagnoses and descriptions are provided and remarks on distribution are given. Key words: Araneae, Salticidae. Phlegra, Phintella, Yamangalea, jumping spiders, new species, taxonomy, biogeography Introduction As the result of intense taxonomic research and biodiversity surveys conducted over the last decades, our knowl- edge on the Australian salticid fauna has increased considerably. Including the taxa treated here, the current check- list comprises 77 verified genera and 368 species (Richardson & Żabka 2003; Żabka 2006, unpubl.). Tropical and temperate rainforests and deserts are especially fruitful in providing new data and the genera Phlegra, Phintella and Yamangalea illustrate this rule very well, each being of different origin and distributional history. Material and methods The material for study came from the collections of the Australian Museum, Sydney (AMS) and the Queensland Museum, Brisbane (QMB). Methods of specimen examination follow Żabka (1991). Photographs of specimens (fixed in Taft hair gel) were taken with a Canon A620 camera and Nikon 800 stereomicroscope and were digitally processed with ZoomBrowser and HeliconFocus software. The data on latitudes and longitudes (given either in minutes and seconds or in decimal format) are re-written from the labels.

Key words: Cosmophasis obscura, Cosmophasis thalassina, egg predation, jumping spider, Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Townsville Salticids exploit a variety of food sources in addition to their usual arthropod prey. Some feed on nectar (Nyffeler 2016; Nyffeler et al. 2016). Nectivory by the chrysilline Phintella vittata C. L. Koch 1846 has been described by Soren & Chowdhury (2011). Salticid spiders in turn may protect plants with extrafloral nectaries from their insect enemies (Ruhren & Handel 1999). Salticids are also known to feed on arthropod eggs or larvae (Jackson & Hallas 1986, Nyffeler et al. 1990). Grob (2015) documented feeding by the chrysilline Siler semilgaucus (Simon 1901a) on ant larvae taken directly from ant workers. Moffet (1991) photographed very small (~2 mm) Phyaces comosus Simon 1902 feeding on both eggs and young in a tended brood of the salticid spider Epeus Peckham & Peckham 1886. Many spiders including the salticid Hentzia palmarum (Hentz 1832) are known to feed on lepidopteran eggs (Pfannenstiel 2008) but photographic documentation of this behavior is lacking.

Mahavidyalaya, Daryapur, Maharastra-444803 (Received on: 07 March, 2014; accepted on: 22 March, 2014) ABSTRACT The genus Chrysilla (Salticidae) was first described by Thorell (1887) and is insufficiently known. Presently eight species has been reported. Three of them were known only from their males, four from females and only one from both male and females. The type species ( Chrysilla lauta) , C. albens , C. delicata, C. doriai, C. deelemani and C. acerosa belongs to Asia. This is the first record of genus Chrysilla from India. The specimen was collected from sugarcane field of Sonitpur district of Assam, India. The type specimen was deposited in the Biodiversity Museum, Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology and Wildlife Biology lab, Gauhati University, India. The genus Chrysilla can be distinguished from Phintella and Leius by the thin , long and more colourfull bodies, stronger RTA and much longer than wide genital bulb of male palps, copulatory openings separated by one diameter or so and piriform spermathecae of epigyne. The new species is similar to that Chrysilla lauta , Chrysilla deelemani and Chrysilla acerosa but differs from the former two by the wider than long RTA with a ventral tip and the much longer embolus as in Chrysilla acerosa Wang and Zhang, 2012, differ from the later by the shape of prosoma, hight of clypeus, bulbus and median apophysis.

Department of Zoology, Madras Christian College, Keywords: Description, New species, New record, Salticidae, South India. Tambaram, Chennai-59, Tamil Nadu, India 1. Introduction Salticids are the most diverse family of spiders with 600 genera and 5760 species in the world known till date [1]. They are known by 207 species and 73 genera in India [2]. Some important [3, 4, 5] [6] [7] contributions were made by Simon , Reimoser , and Proszynski who described many [8] species from South India. Recently, few additions have been made to this family by Sunil , [9] [10] [11] Karthikeyani and Kannan , Caleb and Caleb et al., . Yet, studies on this family are very little and our knowledge on this group is sparse. In this paper, five species have been described out of which one species, Viciria diatreta Simon, 1902 is being reported after 112 years, two species Phintella volupe (Karsch, 1879) and Thyene bivittata Xie & Peng, 1995 are new reports in India and two species namely Chrysilla jesudasi sp.nov.

[email protected] The jumping spider genus Chrysilla, established by Thorell (1887) based on the male of C. lauta Thorell, 1887, is insufficiently known. Presently, seven species are included, but none of them is known by both sexes: three of them only by males (C. deelemani Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold, 2010; C. doriai Thorell, 1890 and the type species) and the other four only by females (C. albens Dyal, 1935; C. delicata Thorell, 1892; C. kolosvaryi Caporiacco, 1947 and C. pilosa (Karsch, 1878)) (Platnick 2011). Only the type species and C. deelemani from the Southeast Asia seem to belong to Chrysilla. Three species (C. delicata, C. doriai and C. pilosa) need to be revised and the others (C. albens and C. kolosvaryi) are misplaced (Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold 2010; Prószyński 2011). The examination on some species from Southwest China confirmed a new species with both sexes, its male being similar to C. lauta and C. deelemani. So the true Chrysilla female is discovered for the first time, being greatly different from that of C. pilosa. The genus Chrysilla can be distinguished from Phintella and Icius by thin, long and more colorful bodies, stronger RTA and much longer than wide genital bulb of male palps, copulatory openings separated by one diameter or so (Figs 15–17) and piriform spermathecae of epigyne (Fig.

The family Salticidae (jumping spiders) is the largest family of spiders; it is known throughout the world, and consists of nearly 6,000 described species belonging to 625 genera, holding 13% of all species of spiders (Foelix, 1996; Jackson et al., 2001). Salticids usually show distinct sexual dimorphism in morphology of the adults. As a result, the male-female complementarity remains unclear for many nominal species in this family. This means that more than a few synonymies are likely hidden in the current classification of the family. Furthermore, due to insufficient sampling efforts in tropical and subtropical zones, it is likely that many species are yet to be discovered. The genus Phintella Strand in Bösenberg and Strand (1906) is one of the most speciose genera in the family Salticidae, and is thought to have diversified in the Oriental and Palearctic regions.

  • Redescriptions of Phintella Typica and Telamonia Bifurcilinea (Araneae: Salticidae)
    ACTA ARACHNOL., 32: 5-14, 1983 5 REDESCRIPTIONS OF PHINTELLA TYPICA AND TELAMONIA BIFURCILINEA (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE) JerZy PROSZYNSKI Zaklad Zoologii, IBS WSRP ul. Prusa 12, 08-100 Siedlce, Poland Synopsis PROSZYNSKI,J. (Zaklad Zoologii, IBS WSRP ul. Prusa 12, 08-100 Siedice, Poland) : Redescriptions of Phintella typica and Telamonia bifurcilinea (Araneae : Salticidae). Acta arachnol., 32: 5-14 (1983). Type specimens of Telamonia bifurcilinea BoSENBERGet STRAND,1906, and Phintella typica STRANDin BosENBERGet STRAND, 1906, are compared with new specimens from Japan and a specific identity is established. Possible identity with Ictidops pupus KARSCII, 1879, is also discussed. Accepting priority of name "bifurcilinea" , the proper name of the species should be Phintella bifurcilinea (BOSENBERGet STRAND,1906). The generic name Phintella should be applied to all related species, including Japanese Jotus and Telamonia. Dr. M. GRASSHOFF, Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Frankfurt a. M., Federal Republic of Germany, has very kindly lent me the type specimens of Phi ntella typica and Telamonia bifurcilinea. Both types appeared conspecific and identical with fresh specimens from Japan, lent me by Professor T. YAGINUMA. They may be also conspecific with specimens from North Viet Nam studied by Mr. M. ZABKA (under press), where also a second, closely related species occurs. There is a distinct similarity in shape of tibial apophysis of Ph. bifurcilinea and type specimen of Ictidops pupus KARSCH, 1879: 85 (PROSZYNSKI, 1973: 113- 114, ff. 44-46) ; also elongated chelicera falls into variation range of Ph. bi f ur- cilinea. Di ference lies in small femoral protuberance in I. pupus, which tax- onomic value is, however, uncerta'n.
