Mesabolivar kathrinae Huber 2015
Mesabolivar kathrinae Huber, 2015 Figs 255–256, 273, 296 Mesabolivar kathrinae Huber, 2015: 8, figs 4, 11, 26–27, 57–61, 75–77 (♂♀, Brazil: Bahia). Diagnosis. (amended; see Huber 2015). Easily distinguished from similar congeners (M. pallens, M. azureus, M. brasiliensis) by slender procursus (compare Figs 271–279) (but see Note below) and by epigynum without median pocket (Huber 2015: figs 26, 60; Fig. 296). Note. A very similar species occurs in Paraná state (Fazenda Experimental Gralha Azul, 25.667°S, 49.270°W; specimens in ZFMK Ar 19104 and Br10-59; “Br10-4” in Fig. 730). Males seem to be slightly larger but otherwise identical in all details; females differ by having a shallow but distinct median epigynal pocket (Fig. 297). Type material.

Natural history. The spiders were found in weakly domed webs freely suspended among the vegetation, usually about 0.5–1.5 m above the ground. Males and females sometimes shared a web. Distribution. Widely distributed in NE Brazil (Fig. 730).Published as part of Huber, Bernhard A., 2018, The South American spider genera Mesabolivar and Carapoia (Araneae, Pholcidae): new species and a framework for redrawing generic limits, pp. 1-178 in Zootaxa 4395 (1) on page 68, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4395.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/120251
Chibchea Huber 2000
Chibchea Huber, 2000 Chibchea Huber, 2000: 162; type species by original designation: Chibchea ika Huber, 2000. Notes. The three new species below fit the original diagnosis of the genus (Huber 2000). The modified male cheliceral fangs seem to be a unique synapomorphy that unites the type species from Colombia with several other species from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina (Huber 2000). The new species share this modification and are thus likely close relatives of the type species. They are particularly similar in several respects to the Colombian C. valle Huber, 2000, a species that is only known from the male holotype. Apart from two of the three species newly described below, the recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) included only two Chilean species of Chibchea that were tentatively identified as C. mapuche Huber, 2000 and C. picunche Huber, 2000. Both lack modifications of the male cheliceral fangs, and they were thus explicitly assigned tentatively to the genus in Huber (2000). The molecular phylogeny does not recover a close relationship between these Chilean species and the species newly described below, suggesting that Chibchea in its current scope is polyphyletic. In an ongoing molecular study (L.S. Carvalho et al., unpubl. data), the three new species described below form a monophyletic group with two undescribed Andean species that also have modified male cheliceral fangs (“L17-168” from Loreto, Peru; and “L17-230” from La Paz, Bolivia), further supporting the conclusion that this clade represents ‘true’ Chibchea even though we have no molecular data from the type species. The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) places the genus in a very basal position among Modisiminae but support values for these basal nodes are very low and the sister group of Chibchea is therefore essentially unknown. The genus was originally thought to have an Andean distribution (Huber 2000). The three new species below extend the distribution to include large parts of the Amazon basin.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 page 43, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4546.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/261902
Carapoia ocaina Huber 2000
Carapoia ocaina Huber, 2000 Figs 554–556 Carapoia ocaina Huber, 2000: 242, figs 19–20, 131, 179, 955–961 (♂ ♀, Peru, Brazil). Huber 2005: 555, figs 85, 86, 99. Carvalho et al. 2010: 433. Type material. PERU: Loreto: ♂ holotype, 5♂ 8♀ paratypes, MUSM, Rio Samiria (4°43’S, 74°18’W), 21– 28.v.1990 (D. Silva “& Ernesto”). New record. BRAZIL: Amazonas: 10♂ 2♀, ZFMK (Ar 19232), forest near Tabatinga (4.244°S, 69.92°– 69.93°W), 90 m a.s.l., 2–4.xi.2016 (B.A. Huber, L.S. Carvalho); 2♀ in pure ethanol, ZFMK (Br 16-323), same data. Description (amendments; see Huber 2000). Tibia 1 in nine newly examined males: 10.4–12.4 (mean 11.1); in two females: 7.7, 8.3. Diameters of femora 1–4 in large male: 0.29, 0.34, 0.36, 0.32. Most males with pale reddish abdomen (in ethanol; in live orange-red; Fig. 554). Prolateral trichobothrium present on tibia 1. Natural history. The spiders were found in strongly domed, rather small webs (diameter about 20 cm), consistently with a second, flat sheet of silk under the domed main sheet. In the lines above the domed main sheet there were sometimes Argyrodes kleptoparasites. Distribution. Widely distributed between Manaus (Brazil) and the Peruvian Andes (Fig. 741).Published as part of Huber, Bernhard A., 2018, The South American spider genera Mesabolivar and Carapoia (Araneae, Pholcidae): new species and a framework for redrawing generic limits, pp. 1-178 in Zootaxa 4395 (1) on pages 129-130, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4395.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/120251
Chibchea Huber 2000
Chibchea Huber, 2000 Notes The largely Andean genus Chibchea now includes 21 described species, ranging from Venezuela to Chile, with a few species known from the Amazon basin (Huber 2000; Huber & Carvalho 2019). The type species is from Colombia, and several species, in particular those from Venezuela and Chile, were originally assigned tentatively to the genus (Huber 2000). Preliminary molecular (CO1) data (J.J. Astrin, B.A. Huber, unpublished data) do not place C. thunbergae Huber sp. nov. with the Brazilian C. amapa Huber & Carvalho, 2019 and C. santosi Huber & Carvalho, 2019, both of which are presumably ‘true’ Chibchea (i.e., with apophyses on the male cheliceral fangs). Thus, C. thunbergae Huber sp. nov. and the other three known Venezuelan representatives of Chibchea may eventually end up in their own genus. We do not have new data on one of the two previously described species from Venezuela, Chibchea merida Huber, 2000 from Mérida state, known from three localities: “coffee forest” at Univ. Los Andes [approximately 8.591° N, 71.144° W], Quebrada Eusebio [approximately 8.684° N, 71.380° W], and Cueva del Pirata near La Azulita [8.7130° N, 71.4405° W] (the coordinates of the latter locality in Huber 2000 were copied from the label but are wrong, i.e., about 5 km S of the cave).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 38, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.718.1101, http://zenodo.org/record/406957

Petcharad); 1♂ 2♀ in absolute ethanol, ZFMK (Mal 358), same data. Measurements and variation. Male from Lembah Anai: palpal femur as in Fig. 191, distal process at 28% of femur length; palpal tibia length/diameter 0.55/0.33; bulb length 0.38; embolus length 0.50. There seems to be no significant genitalic variation among specimens from different localities in this widely distributed species. Tibia 1 in 20 newly examined males: 6.2–7.5 (mean 6.9); in 19 females: 5.3–6.5 (mean 6.0). Natural history. At Sikulikap Fall, most specimens were collected at one patch of large-leaved herbaceous plants close to the ground; webs were barely visible, consisting of only a few threads directly attached to the leaf surface; when disturbed the spiders did not vibrate but ran away (and eventually dropped to the ground). At most localities, this species occurs together with either C. phyllicola or with C. anai (or with both). Egg-sacs in this species are only moderately elongated (Fig. 125). Distribution. Widely distributed on the Malay Peninsula and on Sumatra, reaching into western Java (Fig. 283). The specimens from Java (Cibodas; 1♂ 3♀ in RMNH, ARA 17408) listed in Huber 2011 were re-examined for the present paper and their identification confirmed.Published as part of Bernhard A.

Quamtana Huber 2003
Quamtana Huber, 2003 Quamtana is most diverse in southern Africa, but a few species occur as far north as Cameroon, Congo DR, Uganda (Huber 2003c), Rwanda [“Burundi” in Huber & Warui 2012 is a lapsus; Cyamudongo is in Rwanda, 2°33.5’S, 28°59.5’E] and Kenya (Huber & Warui 2012). The new records below include the first for West Africa, and indicate that Q. kitahurira Huber, 2003 (previously known from Uganda and Rwanda only) is apparently a widespread species.Published as part of Huber, Bernhard A. & Kwapong, Peter, 2013, West African pholcid spiders: an overview, with descriptions of five new species (Araneae, Pholcidae), pp. 1-44 in European Journal of Taxonomy 59 on page 16, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2013.59, http://zenodo.org/record/140659

Aetana Huber 2005
Aetana Huber, 2005 Aetana Huber, 2005b: 72; type species by original designation: A. omayan Huber, 2005. Aetana — Huber et al. 2015a: 4. Notes. The genus has been revised recently, and cladistic analysis of morphological characters suggested the existence of four species groups (Huber et al. 2015a). Molecular data have corroborated both the species groups and the monophyly of the genus (Eberle et al. 2018; Huber et al. 2018). However, the species newly described below were not clearly assigned to any of the four species groups; there were placed as sister to the kinabalu group, but with low support. Morphological data rather suggest a close relationship with the omayan group. Three of the four synapomorphies identified for this group in Huber et al. (2015a) are present in the three new species below: male clypeus with pair of apophyses; very long male cheliceral apophyses; and presence of female stridulatory apparatus between carapace and abdomen. The fourth synapomorphy (pair of pockets in area behind epigynum) is poorly visible in most species and appears to be present in at least one of the new species (A. ondawamei; Fig. 287). The unnamed species from Halmahera shown in the distribution map in Huber et al. (2015a: fig. 2; “ A. sp. 1”) is in fact two similar species. They are apparently closely related to the three species described below. They are represented by only one poorly preserved male specimen each (in Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii) and thus remain undescribed. The original diagnosis and description of the genus are still largely valid. The new species A. mokwam is now the largest known representative of the genus and extends the body length range to ~2.5–5.0; male leg 1 length to ~27–50; male tibia 1 length to ~6.0–12.4; female tibia 1 length to ~4.0–10.7.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 page 71, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4546.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/261902
