ABSTRACT

The Selenops banksi group is known from Central America, South America, and throughout the Southern Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean and currently contains four species: S. banksi Muma, 1953 – found disjunctly from Central America across northern South America – Panama, Guyana, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru; S. micropalpus Muma, 1953 – from Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Southern Lesser Antilles; S. ducke Corronca, 1996 only known from a single locality in Brazil, and S. curruganja sp. nov., known only from the Chocoan region of Colombia. Here, we synonymise Selenops kikay Corronca, 1996 with S. banksi, re-describe the female of S. banksi (described previously as S. kikay syn. nov.), and describe a new species of the group from Nariño and Chocó Departments in Colombia. We provide new illustrations and images, a key, new records, and update the distributional range of the group members, extending it by more than 700 km. We also briefly discuss unique aspects of some species within the group, such as camouflage by appearing mossy or lichen-like and gliding from the canopy.

摘要

该Selenops banksi组来自中美洲，南美洲已知的，在整个加勒比海南部小安的列斯，目前包括四个种类：S. banksi牧马，1953年-巴拿马，圭亚那，巴西-中美洲横跨南美洲北部disjunctly发现，厄瓜多尔，秘鲁；S. micropalpus Muma，1953年–来自多米尼加，马提尼克岛，圣卢西亚和圣文森特和格林纳丁斯，南小安的列斯群岛；S. ducke Corronca，1996年，仅在巴西一个地方就知道，S。curruganja sp.。11月的，公知的仅来自哥伦比亚的Chocoan区域。在这里，我们synonymise Selenops kikay Corronca，1996年S. banksi，再描述阴S. banksi（如先前所描述S. kikay 顺式。11月的），和描述在哥伦比亚的基团从纳里尼奥和乔科部门的一个新种。我们提供了新的插图和图像，关键，新的记录，并更新了小组成员的分布范围，将范围扩大了700多公里。我们还将简要讨论该组中某些物种的独特方面，例如通过出现苔藓或地衣状伪装并从树冠滑行来伪装。
