The new genus is Ecuadattus (E. elongatus sp. nov., E. napoensis sp. nov., E. pichincha sp. nov. and the type species E. typicus sp. nov.). The other new species belong to the genera Amphidraus (A. complexus sp. nov.), Belliena (B. ecuadorica sp. nov.), Chapoda (C. angusta sp. nov., C. fortuna sp. nov. and C. gitae sp. nov.), Ilargus (I. foliosus sp. nov., I. galianoae sp. nov., I. macrocornis sp. nov., I. moronatigus sp. nov., I. pilleolus sp. nov. and I. serratus sp. nov.), Maeota (M. dorsalis sp. nov., M. flava sp. nov. and M. simoni sp. nov.), Soesilarishius (S. micaceus sp. nov. and S. ruizi sp. nov.) and Tylogonus (T. parvus sp. nov. and T. yanayacu sp. nov.). Diagnostic illustrations are provided for all new species. Pho- tographs of living spiders are also provided for some new species. |
