Ocrisiona jovialis (L. Koch, 1879) comb. nov.

Marptusa jovialis L. Koch, 1879: 1109, pl. 97, fig. 1–2.

Breda jovialis Simon, 1909: 198; Hickman, 1967: 87, fig. 153–154; Davies & Żabka, 1989: 256, pl. 58; Platnick, 2013.

Maddison et al. (2008) showed that the Australian species Marptusa jovialis L. Koch, included in Breda by Simon (1909), belongs to the Astioida clade and is closely related to the genus Holoplatys Simon, a group of low carapace, elongate spiders, also from Australia. In fact, besides the flattened body, “ Breda ” jovialis, Menemerus bracteatus (L. Koch, 1879), which is not a true Menemerus, and species of the genera Holoplatys and Ocrisiona, share the same epigynal configuration, copulatory ducts projecting forwards from median copulatory openings, curving laterally and folding backwards, forming an “M” (See Davies & Żabka, 1989). This could be a synapomorphy grouping these species. The phylogenetic limits of Ocrisiona and Holoplatys and the inclusion of this species in Ocrisiona, however, need to be revised in the future.
