Carvalho). Etymology. The species name is derived from the type locality; noun in apposition. Diagnosis. Males are easily distinguished from all other known pholcids by armature of male chelicerae: proximal frontal processes with 3–5 short conical apophyses, distal apophyses in front of fang joints, and simple sclerotized humps near laminae (Figs 215–218); also by slender S-shaped procursus with thin sclerite at tip accompanied by transparent membrane (Fig. 214; similar to certain species in Pisaboa). Females with distinct ‘receptacle’ (visible through cuticle in uncleared specimens) connected to ‘valve’ area by variably long tube (Figs 219–220, 224–239). Description. Male (holotype). MEASUREMENTS. Total length 1.7, carapace width 0.63. Distance PME-PME 130 µm; diameter PME 70 µm; distance PME-ALE 40 µm; distance AME-AME 70 µm, diameter AME 25 µm. Leg 1: 21.6 (5.4 + 0.3 + 5.1 + 9.2 + 1.6), tibia 2: 3.1, tibia 3: 2.1, tibia 4: 2.8; tibia 1 L/d: 93. COLOR (in ethanol). Carapace pale ochre-yellow, sternum whitish; legs ochre yellow with brown rings on femora (subdistally), tibiae (proximally, subdistally), and metatarsi (proximally). Abdomen monochromous pale greenish gray, white dorsal marks of life specimens lost in ethanol. BODY. Habitus as in Fig. 221. Ocular area barely elevated. Thoracic furrow shallow. Clypeus unmodified. Sternum wider than long (0.50/0.34), unmodified. Gonopore without epiandrous spigots (Fig. 329). ALS with only two spigots each, one strongly widened and one pointed (Fig. 331). CHELICERAE. As in Figs 215–216, with three pairs of modifications: proximal frontal processes with several (4–5) short conical apophyses (Fig. 328); distal apophyses in front of fang joints; and simple sclerotized humps near laminae. PALPS. As in Figs 213–214; coxa with retrolateral apophysis, trochanter barely modified, femur with retrolateral process proximally and distinct (but weakly sclerotized) ventral apophysis distally; tarsal organ exposed (Fig. 327); procursus long but simple, distal slender process accompanied by transparent lamina (barely visible in dissecting microscope); bulb with large, partly sclerotized conical process with subdistal sperm duct opening (Figs 213, 326). LEGS. Without spines and curved hairs; with many vertical hairs on all femora and tibiae (Fig. 323); retrolateral trichobothrium of tibia 1 at 5%; tibia 1 without prolateral trichobothrium (present on other tibiae); tarsus 1 with ~20 pseudosegments. Male (variation). Tibia 1 in 21 other males: 4.7–5.9 (mean 5.2). Cheliceral armature slightly variable: apophyses on proximal processes in most Amazonian specimens as in type (i.e. in a patch; Fig. 215), in Atlantic Forest specimens in a transversal row (Fig. 217); males from Tapajós resemble males from Atlantic Forest in this respect. Distal apophyses and humps near laminae only slightly variable in size. Female. In general similar to male (Figs 222–223) but with usual low density of vertical hairs on legs. Tibia 1 in 62 females: 3.3–4.6 (mean 4.0). Epigynum very simple externally, weakly sclerotized, internal ‘valve’ and ‘receptacle’ visible through cuticle (Figs 224–225). Internal genitalia with pair of pore plates of variable shape (Figs 226–239) and median duct of varying length connecting to oval or elongated ‘receptacle’; ‘receptacle’ usually in asymmetric position; 39 females from type locality: 18 right-sided, 21 left-sided (i.e., antisymmetric; cf. Huber et al. 2007). ALS spigots as in male (Fig. 332). Notes. All specimens above are tentatively assigned to one species but the observed variation in both males and females suggests that this needs to be re-evaluated, ideally based on much larger samples and the addition of molecular data. ‘Receptacle’ shape varies strongly even within populations (compare Figs 226–229 and 236–239), suggesting that this is not a good species character. Male cheliceral armature and female pore plate shape may indicate morphological species limits but very few males are available (from several localities none), and a proper evaluation of pore plates requires the clearing of many more female abdomens. Thus, at this point a single, easily distinguished but potentially polytypic species seems clearly preferable. Distribution. Widely distributed in Brazil (Fig. 347), likely to range into neighboring Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. This is one of only four pholcid species currently known to occur both in the Amazon and in the Atlantic Forest (the other species are Mesabolivar kathrinae Huber, 2015, and two species where Amazonian and Atlantic Forest populations might in fact be separate species: Metagonia taruma Huber, 2000 and Metagonia beni Huber, 2000; L.C. Carvalho & B.A. Huber, unpubl. data). Most of the other ~190 formally described Brazilian Pholcidae are restricted to one of these forest blocks (very few species are described from other regions in Brazil). Natural history. This species was found on the undersides of green leaves in the vegetation. There seemed to be a strong preference for certain hairy leaves: at the type locality, numerous specimens were collected from one species of plant with hairy leaves but very few from the many other plant species with otherwise suitable leaves (size and elevation from ground) present at the site. The spiders built domed sheet webs that had the apex connected to the underside of the leaf. Males and females were often found together.Published as part of Huber, Bernhard A. & Carvalho, Leonardo S., 2019, Filling the gaps: descriptions of unnamed species included in the latest molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Araneae), pp. 1-96 in Zootaxa 4546 (1) on pages 58-60, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4546.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/261902

Sejanus rubricatus Carvalho and Gross
No full textSejanus rubricatus Carvalho and Gross Sejanus rubricatus Carvalho and Gross, 1982: 13, figs. 7–9, 96 (n. sp., descr., DV, MG); Schuh, 1984: 154 (disc. generic placement). DISCUSSION: We were able to view images of the type in addition to the original description. Based on these observations Sejanus rubricatus, like S. ruber, has several characters that make its inclusion in the Leucophoropterini problematic: the endosoma is not C-, J-, or Sshaped, but twisted (Carvalho and Gross, 1982: fig. 7); the secondary gonopore is in a medial location like some Campylomma spp. (e.g., C. papuana Schuh [1984: fig. 1013]); the apex of the endosoma in the original illustration of S. rubricatus (Carvalho and Gross, 1982: fig. 7) roughly corresponds to the anterior and posterior blades of Campylomma misinterpreted as one structure by the illustrator; and the overall coloration is primarily white to beige for the pronotum, antennae, and thorax, which is consistent with the coloration of most Campylomma species, in contrast to the red, dark brown, or pale brown coloration of most Leucophoropterini.
