Porta View in CoL View at ENA group

Diagnosis

The porta group can be separated from other Anyphaena species groups by the following characters.

Males

Coxae III and IV smooth or sometimes with ventral tubercles ( Figs 41E–F View Fig , 51E–F View Fig ). The general shape of the male palp is similar to that of the pectorosa and pacifica groups. Differs from both of them by having relatively longer palpal tibiae and in the general shape of the RTA. The RTA base is usually restricted to the distal portion of the tibia instead of the medial portion (compare Figs 48E View Fig , 49A View Fig with Figs 23A View Fig , 24A View Fig ).

Female

Atrium considerably longer than wide. Copulatory openings sometimes covered by the lateral borders of the atrium. Copulatory ducts long and parallel to each other, projecting posteriorly beyond the hood margin ( A. porta sp. nov., A.ibarrai sp. nov., A. salgueiroi sp. nov.), although two species ( A. tonoi sp. nov. and A. alachua ) have shorter copulatory ducts ( Fig. 46F View Fig , see A. alachua in Supp. file 3). Spermatheca well sclerotized, oval to spherical.
