The male of this species can be separated from that of <i>J. mihun</i> by the absence of a small, triangular denticle on the dorsal surface of the conductor (Figure 10A cf. 10D). However, we have a private notion that the boundary between these two species is vague and <i>J. thakek</i> comb. nov. is possibly a junior synonym of <i>J. mihun</i>. Much larger samples would be needed to corroborate these slight differences as species-specific rather than intraspecific variation because more material recently obtained suggests that <i>J. mihun</i> has relatively broad distribution covering northern and north-eastern parts of Thailand (and most likely extending eastwards to Laos where <i>J. thakek</i> comb. nov. was collected).</p> <i>Distribution</i> <p>Known only from the type locality, Khammouan Province, Laos.</p>Published as part of <i>Dankittipakul, Pakawin, Tavano, Maria & Singtripop, Tippawan, 2013, Revision of the spider genus Jacaena Thorell, 1897, with descriptions of four new species from Thailand (Araneae: Corinnidae), pp. 1539-1567 in Journal of Natural History 47 (23 - 24)</i> on page 1553, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2012.763059, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/556127">http://zenodo.org/record/556127</a>

Teutamus hirtellus Dankittipakul, Tavano & Singtripop, 2012, sp. nov.
No full textTeutamus hirtellus sp. nov. (Figures 2 H, 14 A) Diagnosis The male holotype of T. hirtellus sp. nov. closely resembles that of T. rothorum in having a large conductor but can be easily distinguished by the more elongate conductor pointing anteriad instead of prolaterad (Figure 14 A). To our knowledge, only the male of this new species and those of T. andrewdavisi (Figure 14 B) and T. vittatus possess a group of bristles on the RTA. In other species the postepigastric scuta slightly extend posteriorly (Figure 2I), whereas in T. hirtellus sp. nov. and T. orthogonus sp. nov. they extend further and fuse with the dorsal scutum to form a complete tubular ring enclosing anterior half of the opisthosoma entirely (Figure 2 H). Type material Holotype. ♂, Philippines: Palawan, Puerto Princesa Region: Sabang Underground NP, Daylight Hole and Lions Cave, 100–200 m, primary forest, 6–8 December 2009, leg. A. Schulz (MHNG, PAL-09 / 07). Etymology The specific epithet is a nominative form of an adjective (Latin: hirtellus, - a,- um = slightly hairy), and refers to the tuft of bristles on RTA of the male palp. Description Male (holotype). Total length 4.74; prosoma 2.26 long, 1.44 wide; opisthosoma 2.48 long, 1.26 wide. Leg formula: 1423; I 10.48 (2.36, 0.92, 3.38, 2.32, 1.50); II 8.08 (1.86, 0.90, 2.54, 1.76, 1.02); III 6.84 (1.54, 0.88, 2.00, 1.44, 0.98); IV 10.16 (2.46, 0.92, 2.88, 2.56, 1.34). Spination: Leg I: Femora p1-1; tibiae p10 r10; metatarsi p6 r6. Leg II: Tibiae p10 r8; metatarsi p6 r5. Carapace dark reddish brown; submarginal lobes blunt, slightly elevated. Sternum dark reddish brown. Legs hairless, bi-coloured: Coxae, trochanters and femora dark brown, other segments slightly paler, their distal portion white. Opisthosoma elongate-ovoid. Dorsal scutum covering two-thirds of length of opisthosoma. Venter covered by posteriorly extended post-epigastric scuta (Figure 2 H). Palp (Figure 14 A): RTA digitiform in ventral view, elongated-slender, its apex bluntly pointed, lateral margin covered with bristles. DTA short, almost indistinct. Tegulum elongate-ovoid, slightly excavated on apico-prolateral side. Conductor elongated, broad at base, its apex sharply pointed, almost reaching apex of cymbium. Embolic base clearly visible. Female. Unknown. Distribution Known only from the type locality on the island of Palawan, the Philippines.Published as part of Dankittipakul, Pakawin, Tavano, Maria & Singtripop, Tippawan, 2012, Seventeen new species of the spider genus Teutamus Thorell, 1890 from Southeast Asia (Araneae: Liocranidae), pp. 1689-1730 in Journal of Natural History 46 on pages 1718-1719, DOI: 10.110.1080/00222933.2012.681314, http://zenodo.org/record/57464
