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.
