Pisaboa Huber 2000
No full textPisaboa Huber, 2000 Notes The South American genus Pisaboa previously included four species, three of them in Peru and Bolivia (including the type species P. silvae Huber, 2000), one in Venezuela. The Venezuelan species P. laldea Huber, 2000 appeared isolated not only geographically but also morphologically in having a modified male sternum. Pisaboa marcuzzii (Caporiacco, 1955) comb. nov. and the three newly described Venezuelan species below support the assignment of P. laldea to Pisaboa: for example, P. marcuzzii comb. nov. is almost indistinguishable from P. silvae in its male palp morphology, and it shares the modified male sternum with P. laldea; P. fombonai Huber sp. nov. and P. lionzae Huber sp. nov. share the articulated male cheliceral apophyses with P. silvae and the modified male sternum with P. laldea. Our preliminary molecular data (J.J. Astrin, B.A. Huber, unpubl. data) also support the close relationship between P. silvae, P. marcuzzii comb. nov. and P. retracta Huber sp. nov. Collecting in Colombia will most likely show that the geographic gap is artificial. One of the characters that were originally thought to be diagnostic (Huber 2000) is not shared by P. marcuzzii comb. nov. and P. retracta Huber sp. nov.: articulated male cheliceral apophyses. All other diagnostic characters in Huber (2000) are shared by all known species: female internal genitalia with arched pore plates and membranous putative receptacle; long and slender procursus; male palpal femur with finger-shaped ventral apophysis. Nothing has previously been known about the biology of species of Pisaboa. Data from recent expeditions document considerable microhabitat diversity. Two of the new species below were collected from leaf litter, the other three species in retreats among vegetation 0.5–2 m above the ground (see details below). At Tabatinga (Brazil), we collected P. silvae from the extremely spiny stems of Tucumá trees (Astrocaryum vulgare), with the spiders and their small webs well protected at the bases of the long spines (B.A. Huber & L.S. Carvalho, unpubl. data).Published as part of Huber, Bernhard A. & Villarreal, Osvaldo, 2020, On Venezuelan pholcid spiders (Araneae, Pholcidae), pp. 1-317 in European Journal of Taxonomy 718 on page 212, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.718.1101, http://zenodo.org/record/406957

Pemona Huber 2019
No full textPemona Huber, 2019 Note Pemona is a monotypic genus and the type species P. sapo Huber, 2019 is only known from its type locality, Canaima in the Venezuelan state Bolívar (Huber & Carvalho 2019; Fig. 1040). Pemona was previously the only known representative of Ninetinae in Venezuela. We have no new data about this genus, except that it is apparently not closely related to the other Venezuelan Ninetinae described herein (Galapa spiniphila Huber sp. nov.; Ibotyporanga bariro Huber sp. nov.). Neither morphology nor our preliminary molecular data suggest a close relationship between Pemona, Galapa, and Ibotyporanga, but the sister groups remain unknown for all three genera.Published as part of Huber, Bernhard A. & Villarreal, Osvaldo, 2020, On Venezuelan pholcid spiders (Araneae, Pholcidae), pp. 1-317 in European Journal of Taxonomy 718 on page 210, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.718.1101, http://zenodo.org/record/406957

Easily distinguished from most congeners by curvature of procursus (towards ventral; Huber 2005: fig. 618); from two Sri Lankan species with similar procursus (<i>B. badulla</i>, <i>B. benjamini</i>) by bulbal apophysis (much smaller in <i>B. badulla</i>; absent in <i>B. benjamini</i>; compare Figs 22–24). Females are difficult to distinguish externally from similar congeners; pockets apparently consistently wider apart than in <i>B. badulla</i> (260–270 µm versus 200–250 µm; compare Figs 25–28); internal genitalia with distinctive pore plates (lateral round part with long narrow elongation towards median; Fig. 28; similar only in <i>B. badulla</i>); with distinctive pair of internal folds (Fig. 28).</p> <p> <b>Description</b> (amendments; see Huber 2005).
