Guide to genera of informal supragroup CHRYSILLOIDA Text from paper 2017 Supragroup of genera CHRYSILLOIDA COMMENT . Tentatively delimited supergroup of genera of Salticidae, having embolus arising from a fleshy basis, usually short, bent or straight (Fig. 4E). Basis of embolus may be flat, overlying part of bulbus, or more robust, parallel to bulbus. Anterior end of bulbus may be narrow and conical, or broad. Important accessory character is provided by the bend of spermophor, visible either at anterior edge of bulbus or, more posteriorly, at the retrolateral side of bulbus (Fig. 4B). Epigyne and its internal structures are diverse, may be used for recognition of some groups of genera, but not the supergroup as a whole. General body appearance and color pattern are useful for recognition of particular genera, but not the supergroup as the whole. The following groups of genera are included: CHRYSILLINES, COLONINES, ICIINES, HELIOPHANINES, NOTICIINES and SIMAETHINES. Remark. Placement of COLONINES raises some doubts, due to imprecise diagnostic drawings of palps. Arches of spermophor in the anterior half of bulbus resembles CHRYSILLOIDA, but it is not clear whether posterior fleshy area is basis of embolus, overlying bulbus, or is it just part of bulbus with embolus connected in a different way. Diagrammatic drawing of cleared bulbus in Colonus (Fig. 7R) with long, gently bent, hair like embolus confirms that relationship, but remains in conflict, however, with excellent drawing of expanded bulbus of "Cotinusa " sp. (Fig. 10DD) (Ruiz & Maddison, 2015: 255, f. 52) whose curled embolus atop large distal haematodocha suggest rather placement in the supergroup EUOPHRYOIDA. The question requires further checks, for the time being the latter drawing is assumed to depict misidentified species. Composition . Contains informal groups of genera: CHRYSILLINES, COLONINES, HELIOPHANINES, ICIINES, NOTICIINES and SIMAETHINES. Guide to genera of informal group CHRYSILLINES Gen.

Bavia Simon, 1877 Type species Bavia aericeps (16 recognizable species) See more species at Bavia -Q +M Apparently composite genus containing 16 recognizable but unrelated species. Simon (op. cit.: 470) characterized Bavia by narrow abdomen and that opinion influenced decisons of subsequent taxonomist to include into genus a number of species with long, narrow abdomen. The survey of diagnostic characters of Bavia (Prószy ński 2016a) suggests advisability of restriction to species having spermathecae in a form of sclerotized, compact structure with internal ducts and palps resembling type species, species with other structures should be transferred to other genera.
