Differs from other groups by minute size of eyes posterior lateral (IInd row), sitting very closely to eyes anterior lateral, on the same black pigmented protuberance (Fig. 49J1). On the other hand, genitalic characters are insufficiently known in this group and no final conclusion could be drawn yet. Embolus bent, coiled or straight and minute, sitting atop membranous distal haematodocha. Epigyne varies extensively. Remark. Peculiar arrangement of eyes anterior lateral and posterior lateral (IInd row) on the same protuberance, followed in some genera by shallow constriction across eye field, may be misleading. The same concerns striking reduction of size of eyes posterior lateral (IInd row) in some genera classified to various groups, for instance eyes in Lystrocteissa are paired with HYLLINES[?] like palp structure (Figs 14L, 17G), likewise Tomobella fotsy Szüts, Scharff 2009 (Fig. 49I) resembles some Neon . That somatic character is apparently prone to develop parallel in various lineages of Salticidae, it is interesting that in some fossil genera (like Prolinus ) eyes posterior lateral (IInd row) are not reduced, or moderately reduced (as in Hisponinae amber spider shown on magnificent photographs by Hill - see Title page).

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract A new genus and species of hisponine jumping spider from Sarawak, Jerzego corticicola Maddison sp. nov. are described, representing one of the few hisponine jumping spiders known from Asia, and the only whose male is known. Although similar to the primarily-Madagascan genus Hispo in having an elongate and flat body, sequences of 28s and 16sND1 genes indicate that Jerzego is most closely related to Massagris and Tomomingi, a result consistent with morphology. Females of Jerzego and other genera of Hisponinae were found to have an unusual double copulatory duct, which appears to be a synapomorphy of the subfamily. Two species are transferred from Hispo, Jerzego bipartitus (Simon) comb. nov. and Jer- zego alboguttatus (Simon) comb. nov. Diagnostic illustrations

C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

Additional faunistic data for P. maculipennis are given. Introduction Two species of the genus Postandrosus Kulzer, 1951 are presently known: the type species P. maculipennis, Kulzer 1951 described from Sabah (Borneo), and P. ater, Kulzer 1952 described from Peninsular Malaysia. A distinct sexual dimorphism in P. ater was described by griMM (2008), and additional faunistic data for both species were given. Newly collected material from Sarawak (Borneo) yielded an additional new species, which is described hereafter. New faunistic data of P. maculipennis are added.
