The zelotine Gnaphosidae (Araneae, Gnaphosoidea), with a review of the genus Camillina0 aStudies on Malagasy spiders 3 The zelotine Gnaphosidae Araneae G a1-330 v28743 a

Zelotes is the only zelotine gnaphosid genus previously recorded from Madagascar; Zelotes bastardi (Simon) and Z. madagascaricus (Strand) probably represent females and males, respectively, of a single species. Only females exist in current collections, and their affinities remain uncertain. Three other zelotine species occur in the Malagasy collections studied: the cosmopolitan, synanthropic species Urozelotes rusticus (L. Koch), and two species of the genus Camillina. A revision of the Old World Camillina indicates that both those species are new (C. tsima and C. fiana) and endemic to Madagascar and to Madagascar and the Comoro Islands, respectively; the two are not sister species. A recent revision of the American Camillina is supplemented with new descriptions, synonymies, and records. Echemella aldabrae Strand, Echemus pavesii Simon, Zelotes tucumanus Mello-Leitão, and Z. tobari Mello-Leitão are transferred to Camillina; the latter two names are newly synonymized with C. pulcher (Keyserling) and C. arguta (Simon), respectively. Camillina natalensis Lawrence is newly synonymized with C. cordifera (Tullgren). Discovery of the type of C. galapagoensis (Banks) indicates that this species was previously misidentified by Platnick and Shadab; their species C. cruz is newly synonymized and the species misidentified by them as C. galapagoensis is described as C. isabela. Thirteen other new species are described: C. maun from Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa; C. kaibos from the Ivory Coast and Kenya; C. capensis from South Africa; C. namibensis from Namibia; C. kochalkai, C. madrejon, C. cui, and C. mahnerti from Paraguay; C. pilar from Paraguay and Argentina; C. mauryi, C. cordoba, and C. galianoae from Argentina; and C. penai from northern Chile and southern Peru. Males of eight species are described for the first time: C. pavesii (Simon), C. balboa Platnick and Shadab, C. nova Platnick and Shadab, C. major (Keyserling), C. marmorata (Mello-Leitão), C. oruro Platnick and Shadab, C. calel Platnick and Shadab, and C. minuta (Mello-Leitão)

The genus Camillina is redefined to include those gnaphosids with a preening comb on metatarsi III and IV, closely spaced posterior median eyes, a prolaterally situated, bifid terminal apophysis and medially situated, recessed embolar base on the male palp, and a median epigynal plate. Keys, diagnoses, descriptions, illustrations, and locality records are provided for the 40 known American species, found from Mexico and the West Indies south to Chile (with two species apparently introduced into the southeastern United States). Drassyllus elegans (Bryant), Echemus chilensis Simon, E. major Keyserling, E. minutus Mello-Leitão, E. pedestris O.P.-Cambridge, E. pulcher Keyserling, Gytha xanthomela Mello-Leitão, Zelotes desecheonis Petrunkevitch, Z. elytrogaster Mello-Leitão, Z. galapagoensis (Banks), and Z. marmoratus Mello-Leitão are transferred to Camillina. Two specific names are newly synonymized: C. xanthomela with C. major, and C. elytrogaster with C. chilensis. The male of the Cuban species C. elegans is described for the first time and the species is newly recorded from Florida, many Caribbean islands, Hawaii, the Marshall Islands, and Angola. The female of the Brazilian species C. pulcher is newly described, and the species is recorded from Alabama; the males of C. pedestris and C. arguta (Simon) are also described for the first time.

The 12 known species of Eilica are diagnosed and described. The genera Laronia Simon, Gnaphosoides Hogg, and Caridrassus Bryant are newly synonymized with Eilica. The genus is newly recorded from Jamaica, Honduras, Panama, Chile, and South Africa. The existence of a significant Australian fauna is established with the transfer of one species from Gnaphosoides and the description of three others. Five specific names are newly synonymized: variegata (Simon) and maculipes (Vellard), both with modesta Keyserling, and purpusi (Roewer), reynosana (Gertsch and Davis), and wheeleri (Bryant), all with bicolor Banks. Eilica trilineata (Mello-Leitão) is removed from the synonymy of variegata and considered a valid species. Five new species are described: chickeringi from Panama, fusca from South Africa, and contacta, rotunda, and serrata from Australia

The seven known species of Neocteniza are diagnosed and described; a male of the genus is reported for the first time. On the basis of shared derived characters it is concluded that the Actinopodidae and Migidae are sister groups and that of the three known genera of Actinopodidae, Actinopus and Missulena together constitute the sistergroup of Neocteniza. The genitalia of Neocteniza, particularly of the male, are of extraordinary complexity for mygalomorph spiders, and suggest that males can mate only once and females only once during each adult instar. Five new species are described: N.pococki from Venezuela, N.fantastica from Colombia, N.osa from Costa Rica, N. subirana from Honduras, and N. paucispina from Guatemala. Genitalic and somatic characters of the group are illustrated in detail for the first time.

The goblin spider genus Oonopoides Bryant was established for a species from Cuba, Oonopoides maxillaris Bryant, and most of the species that have subsequently been assigned to the genus are from that island. The group is actually circum-Caribbean in distribution, but many of its members have been misplaced in the genus Oonops Templeton; here we treat those representatives of the genus that have been collected in North and Central America. Six specific names are transferred from Oonops to Oonopoides: O. endicus Chickering from Florida and the Bahama Islands, O. secretus Gertsch from Texas and Tamaulipas, O mitchelli Gertsch from Mexico, and O. pallidulus (Chickering), O. tenebus Chickering, and O. anoxus Chickering from Panama. Males of O. zullinii Brignoli from Mexico and females of O. secretus are described for the first time; O. tenebus is placed as the male, and hence a junior synonym, of O. pallidulus. The holotype of Oonops zeteki Chickering from Panama is a juvenile that probably belongs to Costarina Platnick and Dupérré and the name is placed as a nomen dubium. Eight new species are described: O. iviei from Florida and the Bahama Islands, O. catemaco, O. chicanna, and O. kaplanae from Mexico, O. hondo from Honduras, O. cristo and O. upala from Costa Rica, and O. cartago from Costa Rica and Panama.

The presence of an anterior labral spur is suggested to be synapomorphic for the Anapidae. Anapis is redefined to include those anapids with a procurved posterior eye row, medially excavate chelicerae bearing a distal plate, a ridged palpal conductor, and a recurved retrolateral apophysis on the male palpal patela; at least some species build orb webs. The genera Epecthina Simon and Epecthinula Simon are newly synonymized with Anapis. A key, diagnoses, and supplementary ilustrations are provided for the 21 known species, found from southern Mexico and Jamaica south to Peru and Brazil. Because more than half the species are known from only one sex, males and females were subjected to separate cladistic analyses; despite the availability of only an extremely small sample of characters, the resulting cladograms are compatible. A technique developed to combine the irinformation generated eight specific predictions about the morphology of unknown specimens that can serve as tests of the hypothesized relationships. Fifteen new species are described: A. heredia and A. monteverde from Costa Rica, A. anchicaya, A. saladito, A. calima, A. digua, A. felidia, A. atuncela, A. guasca, A. meta, and A. amazonas from Colombia, A. choroni from Venezuela, A. chiriboga from Ecuador, and A. castilla and A. caluga from Peru. Pseudanapis discoidalis Balogh and Loksa is transferred to Anapis. The male of A. keyserlingi Gertsch is described for the first time.

Anapisona is redefined to include those anapids with a single distal apophysis on the male palpal femur, a dorsally elongated male palpal tibia, and distal bristles on the cymbium; and Pseudanapis those with a coarsely punctate carapace and sternum, a pattern of two apophyses on the male palpal femur, one or two on the patella, and none on the tibia, and subequally long legs I and IV. Keys, diagnoses, and supplementary illustrations are provided for the 10 known species of Anapisona, found from southern Mexico and the lesser Antilles south to Ecuador and Brazil, and the six known species of Pseudanapis, found in Indonesia, New Guinea, Melanesia, Hawaii, Middle and South America, and Central Africa. The suggested synonymy of Pseudanapis with Chasmocephalon is disclaimed, but of the 18 species previously assigned to Pseudanapis only P. aloha and P. wilsoni are congeneric with the type species, P. paroculus (the remainder being more closely related to Chasmocephalon); true Pseudanapis are newly recorded from America and Africa. Eight new species are described: A. kethlyi from Mexico and Costa Rica, A. ashmolei and A. pecki from Ecuador, A. bordeaux from the Virgin Islands, A. aragua from Venezuela and Colombia, A. schuhi from Brazil, P. benoiti from Zaire, and P. domingo from Ecuador. Anapisona gertschi Forster is transferred to Pseudanapis and newly recorded from Costa Rica and Panama

Modifications of the leg spination pattern and of genitalic sclerites are discussed. The use of claw tuft structure as a diagnostic character of the Anyphaenidae is investigated with scanning electron microscopy; differences from the Clubionidae in the number and orientation of the component setae are demonstrated.

Evidence from the tracheal system, claw tufts and courtshio behavior is used to justify the family status of Anyphaenidae. Suggested relationships between Anyphaenidae and Clubionidae, Amaurobiidae and Argyronetidae are disclaimed. The family Amaurobioididae is newly synonymized with Anyphaenidae. Genericproblems within the family are discussed. The thirty-six species occuring north of Mexico are described, their diagnostic characters pointed out and illustrated, their distributions mapped, notes on their habitats given, and keys to genera, species groups and species provided.

The type species of Costarina, C. plena (O. P.-Cambridge), is redescribed, has an unusually broad distribution (extending from southern Mexico to northern Costa Rica), and is sometimes sympatric with a relatively widespread new sibling species, C. subplena. The same region also houses 26 additional new species with much smaller distribution ranges: C. iviei, C. llama, C. oaxaca, C. mixtepec, C. naja, C. sepultura, and C. bochil from southern Mexico, C. belmopan, C. peten, C. macha, C. cahui, C. morales, and C. izabal from Belize and Guatemala, C. cortes, C. cofradia, C. cusuco, C. tela, C. ceiba, C. branstetteri, C. olancho, C. muralla, C. coma, and C. gracias from Honduras, and C. waspuk, C. musun, and C. blanco from Nicaragua. At least 11 of these highly localized, microdistributed species have been taken in sympatry with C. plena. Because C. plena and C. subplena are the only members of the genus that have been collected in western and southern Guatemala, we suspect that this area represents the original range of one or both of the widespread species. However, five pairs of the microdistributed species have also been taken in sympatry with each other (and in one case together with C. plena as well)

Members of this group resemble those of Stenoonops Simon but lack the clump of short setae found on the dorsal surface of the palpal tarsus of both sexes in that genus, and often have four pairs of deep channels at the sides of the sternum, the most anterior pair of which demarcate a short, trapezoidal, anterior portion of the sternum. A total of 34 new species are described from Mexico (chamela, armeria, niltepec, real, nubes, jabin), Costa Rica (monte, lucha), Costa Rica and Panama (naci), Panama (almirante, escopeta, bayano), Jamaica (ferry), Curaçao (hato), Martinique (diamant), Colombia (marta, sasaima, meta, leticia), Ecuador (tandapi, pichincha, tina, domingo, otonga, palenque, napo, jatun, hedlite, molleturo, celica, yasuni), the Galapagos Islands (pinta), Peru (carpish), and Chile (elqui).1 aPlatnick, Norman, I1 aBerniker, Lily uhttps://arachnids.myspecies.info/node/18?language=es01786nas a2200145 4500008004100000245009300041210006900134300000900203490000900212520129700221100002401518700001901542700002001561856005901581 2014 eng d00aThe goblin spider genus Costarina (Araneae, Oonopidae), Part 2: the Costa Rican fauna0 aT he goblin spider genus Costarina Araneae Oonopidae Part 2 the  a1-750 v37943 a

The type species of Costarina, C. plena (O. P.-Cambridge), is widely distributed, occurring from southern Mexico to southern Costa Rica, but Costa Rica also houses an extraordinarily large fauna of endemic, less widely distributed Costarina species. In addition to the two previ- ously described species, C. meridina (Chickering, the female of which is newly described) and C. watina (Chickering), 49 new endemic species are described: C. paraplena, superplena, maritza, cima, elena, monte, murphyorum, chiles, upala, poas, selva, viejo, rafael, azul, carara, nara, aguirre, quepos, carrillo, ramon, isidro, san, cuerici, leones, junio, reventazon, macho, cruz, chonta, barbilla, espavel, veragua, pity, penshurst, hitoy, mooreorum, cerere, frantzius, gemelo, pittier, alturas, cruces, ubicki, palmar, parabio, semibio, jimenez, parapalmar, and osa. Two other species also occur in Costa Rica. Costarina concinna (Chickering) is placed as the male (and hence a senior synonym) of C. potena (Chickering), both of which were described from Volcán, Panama; the species appears to be a relatively widespread, southern vicariant of C. plena. The Panamanian species C. obtina (Chickering) is also newly recorded from Costa Rica, and its female is described for the first time.
