0381691E276C9E02AF56F8AF2196DF03.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Males can be distinguished from those of Hexophthalma gen. reval. by the subconical body of the bulb (Fig. 32, Magalh aes ~ et al., 2013: fig. 28) (long and with parallel sides in Hexophthalma, Fig. 20 A, C). Females can be distinguished by the presence of a dense tuft of setae just anterior to the spinnerets (Fig. 9 A, D; Magalh aes ~ et al., 2013: fig. 31, ht) (absent in Hexophthalma). Both males and females can also be distinguished by having posterior median spinnerets (Figs 5 A, 9 F, 10 A, C) (PMS absent in Hexophthalma; Figs 6 A, B, 11 A, 12 C) and by having dense patches of long black setae that partially hide the ALS spinning fields (Fig. 9 A, bs; Magalh aes ~ et al., 2013: fig. 32, bs) (setae much shorter, not hiding the ALS spinning field in Hexophthalma; Fig. 12 C). Description: As for the subfamily, except for the following. Cephalic region 0.3 – 0.5 times as wide as carapace length. Chelicerae lamina with strongly sclerotized apex (Fig. 13 A). Sternum usually cordiform, wider than long and posteriorly truncate; oval in S. thomisoides and S. yurensis stat. nov. (Fig. 30). Palp with simple or sculptured femoral thorns. Leg femora with or without prolateral black setae, generally with brown macrosetae, rarely with white and brown macrosetae (Fig. 24). Abdomen with a dense tuft of setae anteriorly to the spinnerets in adult females (Fig. 9 A). ALS covered by long, black setae partially covering the spinning field, with long and filiform major ampullate gland spigots (one, two or absent) (Figs 9 E, 10 B). PMS present, with a few aciniform gland spigots (Figs 9 F, 10 C). Inner spermathecae branched, with branches inserted throughout the bursa (Figs 19 A, B, 33). Outer spermathecae absent (Figs 19 A, B, 33). Distribution: Dry regions of South and Central America.	en	Magalhaes, Ivan L F, Brescovit, Antonio D, Santos, Adalberto J (2017): Phylogeny of Sicariidae spiders (Araneae: Haplogynae), with a monograph on Neotropical Sicarius.

0381691E276B9E3EAD34FAD922FFDFE0.taxon	description	Nicolet (1849) proposed the genus Thomisoides to contain seven new Chilean species. While Nicolet’s study was still in print, Walckenaer somehow had access to the unpublished plates that depicted four of Nicolet’s species. He took advantage of this and, in his ‘ Histoire Naturelle des Insectes: Apteres’ (Walckenaer, 1847), he stated that (1) the four species depicted in Nicolet’s plate were the same and (2) the name Thomisoides was unsuitable for the genus, as these spiders did not seem to be related to those in the genus Thomisus Walckenaer. Thus, he proposed Sicarius as the name of the genus and included a single species in it, S. thomisoides, considering four of Nicolet’s species as synonyms of it. Paradoxically, he decided to maintain the same name he rejected for the genus as the specific epithet. As Walckenaer’s work (1847) was published 2 years before Nicolet’s (1849), Sicarius has priority over Thomisoides. This fact did not prevent the use of Thomisoides in subsequent spider species descriptions (Butler, 1877; Keyserling, 1880; Holmberg, 1881; Mello-Leit ao ~, 1936), in some cases with explicit (but unjustified) rejection of the use of Sicarius (Holmberg, 1881; Chamberlin, 1916; Mello-Leit ao ~, 1933). This had already been discussed by Pickard-Cambridge (1899 a: 17), who stated that ‘ if we regard Sicarius as the proper generic title [...] we must also regard thomisoides as the proper specific title [...] ’. Thus, he designated S. thomisoides as the type species of Sicarius (against Simon, 1893, who had considered Nicolet’s S. terrosus as the type species), a decision with which we agree. However, the arguments of Pickard-Cambridge (1899 a) were largely ignored, and the name S. thomisoides came into disuse until Magalh ~ aes et al. (2013) accounted for it. Bonnet (1958) discussed that Sicarius should be regarded as the proper generic name, but he argued that the name of the species was of lesser importance and thus he suggested retaining the name terrosus. Following him and Simon (1893), catalogues had been listing S. terrosus as the type of Sicarius (e. g. Roewer, 1942; Brignoli, 1983; World Spider Catalog, 2015). One could argue that S. thomisoides could be considered as a nomen oblitum to preserve the stability of S. terrosus. However, the concept of this species has never been clear, and the name S. terrosus has been used to refer to a variety of species – for instance, to S. boliviensis sp. nov. (by Chamberlin, 1916) and to S. levii sp. nov. (by Mello-Leit ao ~, 1941; Gerschman de Pikelin & Schiapelli, 1979; Binford et al., 2008, 2009). To our knowledge, the name S. terrosus was very seldom used in the literature to refer to the correct Chilean species, and thus we see no reason to keep it over the older S. thomisoides. Species included. Sicarius thomisoides Walckenaer, 1847, Sicarius fumosus (Nicolet, 1849), Sicarius crustosus (Nicolet, 1849), Sicarius lanuginosus (Nicolet, 1849), Sicarius yurensis Strand, 1908 stat. nov., Sicarius peruensis (Keyserling, 1880), Sicarius gracilis (Keyserling, 1880), Sicarius andinus sp. nov., Sicarius boliviensis sp. nov., Sicarius rupestris (Holmberg, 1881), Sicarius mapuche sp. nov., Sicarius levii sp. nov., Sicarius tropicus (Mello-Leit ~ ao, 1936), Sicarius cariri Magalh aes ~, Brescovit & Santos, 2013, Sicarius ornatus Magalh ~ aes, Brescovit & Santos, 2013, Sicarius diadorim Magalh aes ~, Brescovit & Santos, 2013, Sicarius saci sp. nov., Sicarius jequitinhonha sp. nov., Sicarius rugosus (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1899) and Sicarius utriformis (Butler, 1877). CHILEAN SPECIES, NICOLET’ S SEVEN NAMES, AND THE ABSENCE OF SICARIUS IN VALDIVIA Chile was arguably the country holding most species in need of revision. Nicolet (1849) described seven species from there based on poor diagnostic characters, and Keyserling (1880) added one more species. Despite being one of the most common arthropods in the desertic coast of Chile, specific identification was impossible until now. After our revision, we conclude that some species were named several times, and reduce the number of species to five (S. thomisoides, S. fumosus, S. crustosus, S. lanuginosus and S. yurensis stat. nov., the last being newly recorded for the country). Nicolet described seven species of Thomisoides in his seminal work on Chilean spiders (1849) based on specimens collected by Claudio Gay. He sorted them into two groups, the piriformes (including S. terrosus, S. rubripes and S. minoratus) and the rugosas (including S. fumosus, S. crustosus, S. deformis and S. lanuginosus). All types that could be found in the MNHN in Paris (see Ram � ırez, 1989) are immatures, except for those of S. rubripes and S. nicoleti. Tragically, these types (along with that of Thomisoides nicoleti Keyserling) were under study in the Instituto Butantan in 2010, when part of its collection was lost in a fire, and have not been located after the incident. In our view, Nicolet’s piriformes correspond to a single species, S. thomisoides. On the other hand, we here recognize three Chilean species which fit in his rugosas group (in which he included four nominal species). Basing on Nicolet’s work, it is difficult to match his names with the three species we recognize, as the types are immature and the localities are unspecific (see next paragraph). However, we avoided considering his species as doubtful, and preferred to use somatic morphology to match names to the species we recognize. Nicolet (1849) gave specific localities for only a few species (Valdivia for S. terrosus and S. deformis; Chile for S. rubripes), but labels on the specimens indicate they all come from Valdivia (see Ram � ırez, 1989). However, Sicarius seem to be completely absent from this region: the closest record of Sicarius comes from 400 km to the north, and we and several colleagues collected near Valdivia and have not yet found a Sicarius. On the other hand, Sicarius are very common in central and northern Chile – in some places, almost every rock has an individual lying beneath it. It is known that Gay collected throughout most of Chile, including all the places where Sicarius are most common (Pizarro, 1944). Having this in mind, to us it seems very unlikely that Gay collected seven different species of Sicarius in Valdivia, but nowhere else. Thus, it seems that Nicolet’s specimens were mislabeled at some point, and that his localities are unreliable – we cannot say where they came from, except for the country (Chile).	en	Magalhaes, Ivan L F, Brescovit, Antonio D, Santos, Adalberto J (2017): Phylogeny of Sicariidae spiders (Araneae: Haplogynae), with a monograph on Neotropical Sicarius.

0381691E27579E33AEB8FA7C23D6DB7C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Distinguished from other species, except S. yurensis stat. nov., by the oval, longer-than-wide sternum (Fig. 30 A) (cordiform in other species). It is easily distinguished from S. yurensis stat. nov. by the narrow cephalic region (Fig. 37 A). Males are further distinguished by the gently curved palpal bulb body, without clear distinction between the bulb body and the embolus (Fig. 34). Females are further distinguished (except from S. yurensis stat. nov.) by the spermathecae with 8 – 20 branches usually bent at the apex and without a rounded reservatory (Figs 35, 36). We have been unable to find a genital feature in females to distinguish this species from S. yurensis stat. nov. Description: Male (Illapel, Coquimbo, Chile, IBSP 165453). Coloration: carapace light reddish brown, chelicerae, labium and endites reddish brown, sternum orange, legs orange, abdomen brownish grey. Total length 14.7. Carapace length 7.7, anterior width 2.52, thoracic region width 7.1. Eye diameters and interdistances: posterior median eye (PME) 0.2, anterior lateral eye (ALE) 0.25, posterior lateral eye (PLE) 0.23, PME – PLE 0.61, ALE – PLE 0.31. Clypeus height 1.22. Eye tubercles absent. Macrosetae in lateral border of the carapace in a single row. Femora without prolateral black setae. Sternum length 3.76, width 3.02, oval. Femoral thorns: 5.

Sternum length 3.63, width 3.18. Femoral thorns: 5. Leg I: femur 7.92 long, patella 3.1, tibia 8.3, metatarsus 6, tarsus 3.3. II: fe 9, ti 8.6. III: fe 8.08, ti 7.5. IV: fe 8, pa 2.75, ti 7.33, mt 5.5, ta 3.08. Abdomen: length 6.58, width 6.25. Spermathecae branches: 14. Ventral branches present, one pair, straight (Fig. 35 A, B). Variation: Males (N = 5): carapace length 4.72 – 7.7 (6.37), femoral thorns 5 – 6, femur II length 7.42 – 11.13 (9.92). Females (N = 5): carapace length 5.58 – 8.17 (6.98), femoral thorns 5 – 6, femur II length 6.75 – 9.1 (8.2), spermathecae branches 9 – 19. Genitalia are variable in both males (Fig. 34) and females (Figs 35, 36). The regions of Coquimbo and Atacama show the highest morphological diversity, with males with very long bulbs (Fig. 34 F) and aberrant females (Figs 35 C, D, 36 C, D). Some females do not have the spermathecae branches bent at the apex. There is a possibility that S. thomisoides, as delimited here, represents a species complex. Its treatment, however, is not trivial, and we prefer to consider it as a single species until further data are available. Subadult females have pre-spermathecae with several thin, short, digitiform branches (Fig. 36 H). Natural history: This species occurs in a range of dry habitats in the arid coast of Chile, such as xeric woodlands in the Santiago region, semi-arid transition vegetation in the Coquimbo region, beaches and the extremely dry deserts in the north of the country. It is usually found beneath boulders, especially large ones. The eggcases (Fig. 17 D) can be found attached under those boulders. One of those, opened in the field, contained 17 eggs; another, that ecloded in the laboratory, gave rise to 15 juveniles. Dispersing-instar juveniles average 2.2 mg in dry weight (N = 15). Individuals have been observed in the field feeding on scolopendromorph centipedes, Loxosceles and gnaphosid spiders, solpugids, and on co-especifics. Distribution: So far known only from the Chilean dry coast, from the extreme north of the country to south of the Santiago region (Fig. 26 A). A record from Buenos Aires, Argentina (deposited in AMNH), is certainly a mislabelling. There is no evidence that this species occurs in Argentina, and previous records from this country have been misidentified (see Sicarius levii sp. nov. below). The species probably extends its distribution into southern Peru, but this region is very sparsely sampled and we have not had the chance to examine many Sicarius specimens from there.

0381691E275A9E2EAF79FEC8267EDF4D.taxon	description	Synonymy: This species was recognized based on the shape of femoral macrosetae, which are not medially widened as in fig. 7 of Nicolet’s paper (widened in S. crustosus and S. lanuginosus). Nicolet’s S. deformis is an immature, but it fits with this species, which is also the most common belonging to his rugosas group. Diagnosis: Differs from S. thomisoides and S. yurensis stat. nov. in the smaller size and by possessing a truncate sternum, and white macrosetae and black prolateral setae in the femora. Differs from the similar S. crustosus and S. lanuginosus by the macrosetae in the femora having parallel sides (Fig. 40 B; widened in the other species, Fig. 40 A, C, D), and by lacking brown markings at the border of the sternum. Males are further distinguished by the long and curved embolus (Fig. 38). Females are further distinguished by the lack of ventral branches in the spermathecae and by the median branches being strongly coiled at the apex and much longer than the lateral branches (Fig. 39). Description: Male (Palmas de Ocoa, Valparaıso, Chile, IBSP 163741). Coloration: carapace, chelicerae, labium and endites reddish brown, sternum orange, legs orange, abdomen brownish grey. Total length 6.68. Carapace length 3.59, anterior width 1.3, thoracic region width 3.36. Eye diameters and interdistances: PME 0.13, ALE 0.15, PLE 0.15, PME – PLE 0.23, ALE – PLE 0.15. Clypeus height 0.43. Eye tubercles present. Macrosetae in lateral border of the carapace in multiple rows. Femora with prolateral black setae in a zig-zag pattern, white macrosetae present. Sternum length 1.63, width 1.88, cordiform. Femoral thorns: 3. Leg I: femur 4.36 long, patella 1.37, tibia 4.67, metatarsus 3.39, tarsus 1.76. II: fe 4.62, ti 4.67. III: fe 4.12, ti 4.08. IV: fe 4.31, pa 1.27, ti 4.26, mt 3.55, ta 1.86. Abdomen: length 3.22, width 2.95. Palp as in Figure 38 A and B. Female (Palmas de Ocoa, Valparaıso, Chile, IBSP 165466). As in male, except for the following. Total length 7.5. Carapace length 3.8, anterior width 1.4, thoracic region width 3.71. Eye diameters and interdistances: PME 0.13, ALE 0.15, PLE 0.18, PME – PLE 0.36, ALE – PLE 0.18. Clypeus height 0.64. Sternum length 1.68, width 1.91, cordiform. Femoral thorns: 4. Leg I: femur 3.84 long, patella 1.37, tibia 4, metatarsus 2.85, tarsus 1.68. II: fe 4.01, ti 4. III: fe 3.92, ti 3.59. IV: fe 4.08, pa 1.3, ti 3.92, mt 2.98, ta 1.68. Abdomen: length 3.27, width 3.55. Spermathecae branches: 10. Ventral branches absent (Fig. 39). Variation: Males (N = 5): carapace length 2.95 – 4.36 (3.74), femoral thorns 3 – 4, femur II length 3.96 – 6.07 (4.86). Females (N = 5): carapace length 3.63 – 4.92 (4.14), femoral thorns 3 – 4, femur II length 3.96 – 5.18 (4.42), spermathecae branches 4 – 10. Males (Fig. 38) vary mainly in the length of the bulb body. Females (Fig. 39) vary in number of spermathecae branches and in whether the lateral branches are strongly coiled. One female from Belloto, Valparaıso, lacks the rounded reservatory at the apex (Fig. 39 C, D). Female subadults have pre-spermathecae with the median branches digitiform, not coiled, much longer than the laterals (Fig. 39 G). Natural history: This species has been collected under rocks, logs and roots in xeric woodlands, highaltitude scrublands and beaches. Some of the places where it has been collected (such as Farellones, Santiago) are known to be covered by snow during the winter (adult specimens were collected in autumn). Eggcase as in Figure 17 B.

0381691E27479E2CAD55F9B12193DC7F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Differs from S. thomisoides and S. yurensis stat. nov. in the small size and by possessing a posteriorly truncate sternum, and white macrosetae and black prolateral setae in the femora. Differs from S. fumosus by the widened macrosetae in the femora (Fig. 40 C, D; not widened in S. fumosus, Fig. 40 B), and by having brown markings at the border of the sternum (Fig. 30 D). The most similar species is S. lanuginosus: males differ by the longer, slightly sinuous embolus of the male (Fig. 41 A – C) (shorter and with a proximal hump in S. lanuginosus); females differ by lacking rounded reservatories at the apex of the spermathecae branches, and by the gradual reduction in length of the spermathecae branches (Fig. 41 D – I) (rounded reservatories present and the two median pairs of branches clearly longer than the laterals in S. lanuginosus). Description: Male (Paposo, Antofagasta, Chile, AMNH). Coloration: carapace and chelicerae reddish brown, labium and endites light brown, sternum light brown with dark brown markings on margin, legs light brown, abdomen brownish yellow.

0381691E27459E2BAD55F8F0203EDB13.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Differs from S. thomisoides and S. yurensis stat. nov. in the small size and by possessing a posteriorly truncate sternum, white macrosetae in the femora and black prolateral setae in the femora. Differs from S. fumosus by the medially widened macrosetae in the femora (Fig. 40 A; not widened in S. fumosus, Fig. 40 B), and by having brown markings at the border of the sternum (as in Fig. 30 D). The most similar species is S. crustosus: males differ by the shorter embolus bearing a proximal hump (Fig. 42 B, C) (longer and sinuous in S. crustosus); females differ by having rounded reservatories at the apex of the spermathecae branches, and by having the two median pairs of branches with about the same size, but clearly longer than the most lateral ones (Fig. 42 E – H) (rounded reservatories absent and gradual reduction of length in the branches in S. crustosus). Description: Male (Elqui, Coquimbo, Chile, AMNH). Coloration: carapace, chelicerae, labium and endites reddish brown, sternum light brown with dark brown markings on margin, legs light brown, abdomen brownish yellow. Total length 9.38.

Spermathecae as in Figure 42 E and F. Variation: Males (N = 5): carapace length 3.09 – 5.66 (4.28), femoral thorns 4 – 5, femur II length 3.92 – 7.92 (5.73). Females (N = 3): carapace length 3.15 – 4.62 (4.08), femoral thorns 4, femur II length 3.76 – 5.73 (4.91), spermathecae branches 8 – 9. Some males have the proximal hump more subtle than others (Fig. 42 B, C), making differentiation from S. crustosus difficult at times. The distance between spermathecae in the females varies (Fig. 42 F, H). Female subadults have spermathecae with four short, medially grouped branches (Fig. 42 D). Natural history: This is a very elusive species; we have visited some of the localities where museum specimens were collected, but could not find individuals by active search. It is very rare in collections, the only large series being that of longterm ecological studies deposited in LEULS. Specimens come from areas of xeric coastal vegetation. Distribution: Apparently endemic to a small coastal area in Southern Atacama region and Northern Coquimbo region, Chile (Fig. 26 C). Additional material examined: CHILE.

PERUVIAN SPECIES Three species, one of them with two subspecies, have been cited from Peru: S. terrosus, S. peruensis (Keyserling, 1880), S. gracilis (Keyserling, 1880) and S. terrosus yurensis Strand, 1908. The record of S. terrosus by Chamberlin (1916) probably refers to S. boliviensis sp. nov. (see below). Sicarius peruensis and S. gracilis are here revised and considered valid; S. terrosus yurensis is given species status; and two new species are herein described.	en	Magalhaes, Ivan L F, Brescovit, Antonio D, Santos, Adalberto J (2017): Phylogeny of Sicariidae spiders (Araneae: Haplogynae), with a monograph on Neotropical Sicarius.

0381691E27429E29AEBBFE2A264ADE77.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Males, females and juveniles are easily distinguished from all Sicarius by the wide cephalic region (~ 50 % of the carapace length) (Fig. 37 B). Males are further distinguished by the long and slender palpal bulb, with very thin embolus (Fig. 43). Females are further distinguished (except from S. thomisoides) by the spermathecae with 10 – 18 branches usually bent at the apex and without a rounded reservatory (Fig. 44). We have been unable to find a genital feature in females to distinguish this from S. thomisoides. Description: Male (Yura, Arequipa, Peru, AMNH). Coloration: carapace and chelicerae reddish brown, labium, endites, sternum and legs light brown, abdomen brownish yellow. Total length 14.7. Carapace length 8, anterior width 3.82, thoracic region width 7.42. Eye diameters and interdistances: PME 0.25, ALE 0.28, PLE 0.23, PME – PLE 1.37, ALE – PLE 0.28. Clypeus height 1.45. Eye tubercles absent. Macrosetae in lateral border of the carapace in a single row. Femora without prolateral black setae. Sternum length 3.59, width 3.18, oval. Femoral thorns: 6.

Spermathecae branches: 17. Ventral branches present, one pair, straight. Spermathecae as in Figure 44 A and B. Variation: Males (N = 3): carapace length 6.34 – 8 (7.45), femoral thorns 5 – 6, femur II length 9.1 – 10.5 (9.99). Females (N = 5): carapace length 7.17 – 8.8 (7.68), femoral thorns 4 – 5, femur II length 7.92 – 9.8 (8.45), spermathecae branches 10 – 17. Genital morphology is slightly variable in both sexes (Figs 43, 44). Subadult females have pre-spermathecae with four to several short, digitiform branches (Fig. 44 G, H). Natural history: This species has been collected from desert areas in coastal Peru and Chile; it seems more common in the higher altitudes of northern Chile than its sister species, S. thomisoides. Distribution: Desertic coast in Central to Southern Peru and Northern Chile (Fig. 26 B). The northernmost records from Peru are based on immatures only; examining adults from those regions would be desirable to confirm co-specificity. Additional material examined: PERU.

0381691E27409E24AD00FBD4208ED9DE.taxon	description	Figures 16 C, 17 C, 18 D, 27 B, 31 C, 32 C, 33 F – H, 45 Thomisoides peruensis Keyserling, 1880: 272, plate 8, fig. 150. Syntypes from several localities in Peru, deposited in PAN, partially examined, only an immature syntype (PAN 10 a) from Chorillos, Peru (see below). Sicarius peruensis: Simon, 1893: 271; Aguilar & Mendez, 1971: 143, plate 2. Note: This species was described from several localities in Peru, including Lima, Monterico, San Malu, Montana Nancho and Chorillos (Keyserling, 1880). Although Keyserling mentions at least a male in the description, we could only find an immature syntype in PAN. He did illustrate a palp, and although his illustration is not very detailed, it shows the projecting cymbium and long embolus characteristic of this species. In addition, this species is very common in Lima and surrounding areas, which are localities from where some of Keyserling’s material came. We decided to retain the name S. peruensis for the species common around Lima, which has been cited under this name in a few works (e. g. Aguilar & Mendez, 1971; Alegre et al., 1977; Binford et al., 2008, 2009). The name S. gracilis is here retained for the rarer species, which is partially sympatric (see discussion below, under S. gracilis). Diagnosis: Distinguished from all Neotropical species, except S. gracilis and S. utriformis, by having a single, large distal patch of prolateral black setae in the femora (Fig. 24 D). Males differ from S. gracilis and S. utriformis by the long embolus and the abrupt transition between the base and body of the bulb (Fig. 45 A – C) (smoother transition in S. gracilis and S. utriformis). Females are distinguished from S. gracilis by the slender branches of the spermathecae and by the ventral branches with a double coil (Fig. 45 D – K) (robust branches, single coil in S. gracilis), and from S. utriformis by lacking digitiform projections in the spermathecae. Description: Male (Canta, Lima, Peru, UFMG 15348). Coloration: carapace and chelicerae reddish brown, labium and endites light brown, sternum and legs brownish yellow, abdomen brownish yellow.

0381691E27499E5EAEEFFA2C2681D939.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The name is an adjective referring to the country from where most of the records of this species come. Diagnosis: Males, females and immatures can be recognized by the strong sclerotization around the most proximal femoral thorn (Fig. 48 A, sa). Males are further distinguished by the robust bulb with very short embolus (Fig. 48). Females are distinguished by the finger-like, robust branches in the spermathecae, with rounded reservatories absent or very subtle, and with the glandular pores large and orange (Fig. 49) (other species, except S. levii sp. nov., with light brown pores; see also colour photos in the interactive key provided as Supporting Information Appendix S 1). Description: Male holotype (Lagunillas, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, MZSP 48990). Coloration: carapace and chelicerae reddish brown, labium brown, endites reddish brown, sternum and legs orange brown, abdomen light brown. Total length 13.35.

Variation: Males (N = 5): carapace length 6.48 – 7.69 (7.01), femoral thorns 4 – 5, femur II length 9.8 – 12.16 (11.08). Females (N = 5): carapace length 7.17 – 8.2 (7.58), femoral thorns 3 – 5, femur II length 8.5 – 10.63 (9.09), spermathecae branches 4 – 8. Males vary in the length of the embolus (Fig. 48); females from Peru have a very subtle reservatory at the apex of the spermathecae. It might be that populations from Cusco represent a distinct species, but additional material is necessary to elucidate that. Subadult females have pre-spermathecae with short, triangular branches (asymmetric in some cases), with a tiny reservatory at the apex (Fig. 49 I, J). Distribution: Dry forests in Bolivia, western Brazil, northern Paraguay and Cusco, Peru, (Fig. 26 B). This species occurs next to the Argentinean northern border, and thus its presence in this latter country is not unlikely. Additional material examined: PERU.

0381691E27379E5BAD0DFC14203CDF21.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Males differ from other Argentinean species, especially the similar S. mapuche sp. nov. by the curved and thin embolus (robust and shorter in S. mapuche) and by the body of the bulb not so strongly curved. Females can be distinguished from other Argentinean species by the strongly coiled branches of the spermathecae with a small reservatory at the apex (straight branches, large reservatory in S. mapuche sp. nov.). Description: Male (Caleta Olivia, Santa Cruz, Argentina, UCCC 362). Coloration: carapace chelicerae, labium and endites reddish brown, sternum and legs orange, abdomen brownish grey. Total length 8.5. Carapace length 5.11, anterior width 1.93, thoracic region width 5.07. Eye diameters and interdistances: PME 0.18, ALE 0.2, PLE 0.2, PME – PLE 0.43, ALE – PLE 0.15. Clypeus height 0.69. Eye tubercles absent. Macrosetae in lateral border of the carapace in a single row. Femora without prolateral black setae. Sternum length 2.47, width 2.21, cordiform. Femoral thorns: 4. Leg I: femur 6.2 long, patella 2.21, tibia 5.93, metatarsus 5.02, tarsus 3.39. II: fe 6.82, ti 6.07. III: fe 6.41, ti 5.52. IV: fe 6.34, pa 1.71, ti 5.59, mt 4.91, ta 3.3. Abdomen: length 4.57, width 4.11. Palp as in Figure 50 A and B. Female (Arroyito, Neuquen, Argentina, MLP 14270, holotype of Thomisoides irregularis). As in male, except for the following. Abdomen light brown. Total length 8.25. Carapace length 4.16, anterior width 1.58, thoracic region width 3.92. Eye diameters and interdistances: PME 0.18, ALE 0.18, PLE 0.18, PME – PLE 0.33, ALE – PLE 0.15. Clypeus height 0.69. Sternum length 2.01, width 2.11, cordiform. Femoral thorns: 3. Leg I: femur 4.16 long, patella 1.75, tibia 4.04, metatarsus 2.92, tarsus 2.32. II: fe 4.46, ti 3.91. III: fe 4.36, ti 3.59. IV: fe 4.7, pa 1.58, ti 3.71, mt 2.26, ta 2.29. Abdomen: length 4.36, width 4.06. Spermathecae branches: 16. Ventral branches absent. Spermathecae as in Figure 51 C and D. Variation: Males (N = 7): carapace length 4.46 – 6.14 (5.12), femur II length 5.59 – 8.5 (6.81). Females (N = 5): carapace length 4.16 – 6.14 (5.47), femoral thorns 3 – 4, femur II length 4.46 – 6.75 (5.96), spermathecae branches 8 – 16. Genital morphology and total length are painfully variable (Figs 50, 51), suggesting this species might possibly be a complex of 2 – 3 independent lineages. This is a problem we cannot resolve with the material at hand, and that will be probably be better addressed using an integrative approach in the future. Specimens marked with an asterisk (*) in the list of material examined are some of those found by us to be the most similar to the population from the type locality. Natural history: Specimens have been collected from monte (a xeric scrubland typical of Argentina) and grasslands, usually under rocks. We have observed courtship and mating behaviour of a pair from Sierra del Tontal, Argentina (Fig. 52). It is quite simple, with the male approaching the female, touching her with the first two pairs of legs; the female responds by bending her abdomen upwards. The male then embraces her and inserts both pedipalps simultaneously, as described by Levi & Levi (1969) for Sicarius levii sp. nov. and by Magalh aes ~ et al. (2013) for S. saci sp. nov. (misidentified in the latter work as S. cariri). This mating was apparently not successful, however, as the female did not produced an eggcase even several months after mating.

0381691E27329E59AF53FA042114D9FE.taxon	materials_examined	Type material: Male holotype from ARGENTINA. R � ıo Negro: Los Lagos, Cerca del Embalse Alicur a � (LT 3 S 7 E 5) (70.88539, 40.58961, 772 m), P. Sackmann, I / 2005 (MACN-Ar 33860). Paratypes: same collecting data, 1 # 1 imm. (MACN-Ar 33861), 1 $ (MACN-Ar 33862); Mendoza: Papagallo, no collector, no date, 1 # (MLP 15584). Etymology: The specific name honours the Mapuches, a group of Native American people inhabiting portions of southern Chile and Argentina. The name is to be treated as a noun. Diagnosis: Males are similar to S. rupestris by the smooth transition between the base and the body of the bulb, but differ by the curved, robust and short embolus (thinner and longer in S. rupestris) and body of the bulb very curved (Fig. 53 A – D) (straighter in S. rupestris). Females can be distinguished from other Argentinean species by the long and straight stalks of the spermathecae with a large, oval reservatory at the apex (strongly coiled, small reservatory in S. rupestris; stalks absent in S. levii sp. nov., Figure 53 F – K). Description: Male (holotype from Embalse Alicur a �, Neuquen, Argentina, MACN-Ar 33860). Coloration: carapace chelicerae, labium and endites reddish brown, sternum, legs and abdomen brownish yellow. Carapace length 3.86, anterior width 1.47, thoracic region width 3.72. Eye diameters and interdistances: PME 0.13, ALE 0.15, PLE 0.13, PME – PLE 0.3, ALE – PLE 0.1. Clypeus height 0.43. Eye tubercles absent. Macrosetae in lateral border of the carapace in a single row. Femora without prolateral black setae Sternum length 1.73, width 1.8, cordiform. Femoral thorns: 4.

Sternum length 1.91, width 2.19, cordiform. Femoral thorns: 4. Leg I: femur 4.04 long, patella 1.58, tibia 3.75, metatarsus 2.64, tarsus 2.34. II: fe 4.41, ti 3.8. III: fe 4.36, ti 3.51. IV: fe 4.31, pa 1.6, ti 3.63, mt 2.64, ta 2.37. Abdomen: length 6.83, width 6.14. Spermathecae branches: 11. Ventral branches absent. Spermathecae as in Figure 53 J and K. Variation: Males (N = 6): carapace length 3.47 – 5.76 (4.12), femoral thorns 3 – 4, femur II length 4.21 – 4.82 (4.48). Females (N = 5): carapace length 3.8 – 4.26 (4.14), femoral thorns 3 – 4, femur II length 3.92 – 4.41 (4.23), spermathecae branches 7 – 11. Genital morphology is slightly variable in both sexes (53). Female subadults have pre-spermathecae with 4 – 5 reduced branches, not globose at tip (Fig. 53 E). Distribution: Arid areas in northern Patagonia, in the provinces of Chubut, Neuquen, R � ıo Negro and Mendoza, Argentina (Fig. 26 D).

Note: Reiskind (1966), Levi (1967) and Levi & Levi’s (1969) illustrations and locality data indicate that the species they studied is this one; their vouchers were deposited in the MCZ and were destroyed in the fire at the Instituto Butantan before we could examine them. This species is probably the largest known haplogyne spider in terms of body length and body mass, although some Central American Scytodes might have a larger leg span.

(MACNAr 33865); Santiago del Estero: Campo Gallo (62.85, 26.5833), J. Abalos �, no date, 3 # (MLP 13736). Etymology: This species, the largest sicariid, is named in honour of the recently deceased Dr Herbert W. Levi, a giant among arachnologists. This is in recognition of his huge contributions to arachnology in the form of his beautiful, excellent taxonomic revisions and his ever inspiring example to new generations of students. Diagnosis: This species can be easily recognized by its large size and cephalic region slightly wider than that of S. rupestris and S. mapuche sp. nov. (compare Figs 15 H, 16 B). Males are further distinguished by having a ventral tuft of setae in the palpal femur (Fig. 54 A, VHT) and by the straight bulb with a distinct base and a short embolus (Fig. 54 B – D) (smooth transition between base and body, and long embolus in S. rupestris and S. mapuche sp. nov.). Females are easily distinguished from all Sicarius by the very short spermathecae branches, barely visible in dorsal view (Fig. 54 F – K). Description: Male (holotype from El Cuy, R � ıo Negro, Argentina, MACN-Ar 33859). Coloration: carapace, chelicerae, labium and endites reddish brown, sternum orange, legs brownish orange, abdomen light brown. Carapace length 9.04, anterior width 4.39, thoracic region width 9.04.

Variation: Males (N = 6): carapace length 7.83 – 9.6 (8.93), femoral thorns 5 – 6, femur II length 9.9 – 12.5 (11.42). Females (N = 5): carapace length 8.8 – 10.5 (9.69), femoral thorns 5 – 7, femur II length 8.9 – 11.63 (10.08), spermathecae branches 6 – 12. Genital morphology is slightly variable in both sexes (Fig. 54). Female subadults with spermathecal branches unformed, with two triangular outgrowths in the place of the future spermathecal branches (Fig. 54 E). Natural history: Levi (1967) and Levi & Levi (1969) studied the predatory and sexual behaviour of this species in detail; and Reiskind (1966) described its self-burying behaviour. We have collected it from monte xeric scrub, usually under large rocks or in the sediment accumulated next to cliffs. Distribution: Western Argentina, from Salta to R � ıo Negro provinces (Fig. 26 D). A record from Buenos Aires (IBSP 4057) is doubtful; it could refer to somewhere in Buenos Aires province (where some records of S. rupestris are known), but the species has never been collected so far east. A vial in the MACN says ‘ Chile, Cerro San Cristobal’. We have examined hundreds of Chilean Sicarius specimens, and never found this species there. The only Cerro San Cristobal we know of is inside Santiago, capital of Chile; Gerschman de Pikelin & Schiapelli (1979) placed this record in the Valpara � ıso region, in the Andes range, next to the border with Mendoza, Argentina. We followed them and included this record in the distribution map, but it would be better regarded as a mislabelling.

BRAZILIAN SPECIES The sole representantive of Sicarius in Brazil had been Sicarius tropicus (Mello-Leit ao ~, 1936) until we revised the genus for that country, describing three more species (Magalh ~ aes et al., 2013). These four species will not be treated again here, so readers must refer to our previous publication for a more complete picture of Brazilian Sicarius. Here, we present the descriptions of two new species which we had previously considered as morphological variants of S. cariri and S. diadorim, but that have been shown to be particularly divergent based on DNA sequence data (see Magalhaes et al., 2014). Upon a closer look at their genital morphology, we could identify some features to distinguish them from known species.	en	Magalhaes, Ivan L F, Brescovit, Antonio D, Santos, Adalberto J (2017): Phylogeny of Sicariidae spiders (Araneae: Haplogynae), with a monograph on Neotropical Sicarius.

(IBSP 162259), 1 imm. (IBSP 162260), 1 # (UFMG 11685); Etymology: The Saci is a creature from Brazilian folklore; it has the form of a one-legged, black boy who hops around smoking a pipe and wearing nothing more than a red hood. It is said to find great pleasure in acting mischievously and tricking people. Likewise, the new species tricked us into thinking it was only a variety of S. cariri before, and all the individuals listed above lack at least one leg, which we used for DNA extraction. The name is to be treated as a noun in apposition. Diagnosis: Males are similar to those of Sicarius cariri by the strongly marked transition between the base and body of the bulb, and by the short embolus. They can be distinguished by the embolus being straight in apical view (Fig. 55 C) (with a retrolateral concavity in S. cariri, Magalh aes ~ et al., 2013, fig. 66) and by the somewhat shorter bulb. Females are very similar to those of S. cariri; they have few (10 – 15), coiled spermathecae branches with a small reservatory at the apex (Fig. 56); at present we have not been able to find a diagnostic feature for females based on morphology alone. Identification of females without accompanying males can be done using COI or H 3 sequences (see Magalhaes et al., 2014). Description: Male holotype from Morro do Chapeu, Bahia, Brasil (UFMG 11021).

0381691E27389E4FAE87FACB20F2D868.taxon	description	Note: Butler’s (1877) immature specimen comes from Floreana Island; we have also examined specimens from Espa nola ~ (an adult pair and some immatures) and Fernandina (a subadult female). Until it is determined whether a single species occurs in all islands of the archipelago, our diagnosis must be taken with caution, as it is based on adults from an island other than the type locality. Note that Baert et al. (2008) examined specimens from several islands and considered all of them to be S. utriformis. Diagnosis: Differs from all species, except S. peruensis and S. gracilis, by having a single, large distal patch of prolateral black setae in the femora (Fig. 24 D, arrow). The male is distinguished from these two species by the gently curved bulb, with a smooth transition between the base and the body of the bulb (Fig. 59 A, B) (well-marked transition in S. peruensis and S. gracilis). Females are very similar to those of S. peruensis: they have short, widely spaced spermathecae branches without reservatory in the apex, a sclerotized pore plate and ventral branches with a double coil (Fig. 19 B).
