NONSENSICAL COMMENT of the WSC: " Messua felix Prószy ński, 2002 : 239, f. 71-74 ( m, figures f,* provided no justification for transfer ) [* here fig. D above]. Informal group of genera DENDRYPHANTINES Mutual diagnostic characters of genera included . Distal haematodocha noticeable in resting state of a palp, embolus short, broad or triangular, rarely thin and bent (Fig. 42A). Tegulum thick and opaque, spermophor less noticeable than in EUOPHRYINES, apically bent, next running straight, or slightly waving, along retrolateral surface of bulbus. Epigyne heavily sclerotized, without "windows", instead with anterior horse-shoe shaped furrow with copulatory openings at the bottom of sclerotized depressions at the lateral ends of furrow. Copulatory ducts begin as straight, thick walled tubes at the anterior part of epigyne, shortly pass indistinctly into entangled sclerotized ducts or solid spermathecae with internal chambers. Large group, containing some 400 recognizable species (and 108 unrecognizable), in appearance and habits comparable with EUOPHRYINES, usually short legged and not jumping. Remark. Modern set up of the group was begun by Maddison 1995, one of the best and most important taxonomic revisions of Salticidae in literature, containing also stimulating ideas (like embolus sitting atop distal haematodocha, different from fixed embolus), which influenced also present division of Salticidae.* Species with genitalic characters partially resembling EUOPHRYINES are separated into new group of subfamilial rank - EUODENINES 23 . -------------------------------------------------------- FOOTNOTE*. Personal archive of Dr. W.P. Maddison contains very important diagnostic drawings of undescribed forms of DENDRYPHANTINES, and some other Salticidae, 84 unpublished to date, which he has very kindly permitted me to copy in 1986, unfortunately I have no permission to display them in the present database of Salticidae. -------------------------------------------------------- Gen.
