  New data on jumping spiders of the subfamily Spartaeinae (Araneae, Salticidae) from New Guinea, with the description of a new species Abstract We describe a new species of Gelotia Thorell, 1890, Gelotia korowai sp. nov ., which is the first Gelotia species from the island of New Guinea. New records for four Cocalodes species— C. innotabilis Wanless, 1982; C. macellus (Thorell, 1878); C. papuanus Simon, 1900, and C. thoracicus Szombathy, 1915­—are presented, and the specimens are illustrated. Lectotypes for C. plebejus Szombathy, 1915 and C. thoracicus are also designated. With 49 original images and a distribution map.

A new Nemesia species from Spanish Catalonia (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Nemesiidae, Haplonemesia)

Abstract

Both sexes of Nemesia gavarrensis sp. nov. are described from northeastern Spanish Catalonia. N. gavarrensis is considered the fourth species to be included in the subgenus Haplonemesia Simon 1914, that furthermore includes: N. simoni Pickard-Cambridge 1874, N. crassimana Simon 1873, N. raripila Simon 1914. Haplonemesia is a morphologically, geographically and ecologically unified group of four nominal species inhabiting sheltered habitats in and around the eastern Pyrenees. A key to distinguish Haplonemesia species is provided.
