status

 

Monomotapa Wesolowska, 2000 = Iranattus Prószyński, 1992

Genus Monomotapa is identical with Iranattus , as documented by identical body shape and similar palp, with extended posterolateral flap of cymbium documented on Figs 14K, K 1 View Figure 1 and 17F, see also files http://www.peckhamia.com/salticidae/q18-Irana.html. Therefore:

Monomotapa principalis Wesolowska, 2000 = Iranattus principalis (Wesolowska, 2000) comb. n.

(documented by Figs 14K and 14F).

Telamonia and " Viciria "

Revision of 58 species of Viciria ( Prószyński 1968c, 1893c, d, 1984a, b, 1987, and 2016a, b) transferred majority of them into several other genera, but left provisionally four " Viciria " pending further research. Bodner & Maddison (2012: 225) transferred recently these species into genus Telamonia , however, none of them ( Figs 16 F-L) fit characters of type species of Telamonia ( Fig. 16B) which look entirely different and are certainly unrelated. Palp of Viciria thoracica ( Fig. 16H) shows resemblance to the type species of the genus Hyllus ( Fig. 16C) and even more to Hyllus albocinctus ( Fig. 16F). Epigyne, in turn, and it's internal structure of Viciria longiuscucla ( Fig. 16G) is very similar to the same structure in Hyllus semicupreus ( Fig. 16D). Finally epigyne and its internal structure of Viciria besanconi ( Fig. 16J) and Viciria fuscimana ( Fig. 16L) studied parallel by Wesołowska & Russell- Smith, 2011 agree with the same structures in genus Brancus ( Figs. 16I and 16K respectively). Therefore combinations of these specific names, listed in the WSC, should be corrected as follows:

Telamonia besanconi (Berland & Millot, 1941) = Brancus besanconi (Berland & Millot, 1941)

[reinstated synonym by Wesolowska & Russell-Smith, 2011: 565, f. 40-42, 219], [documented by

Fig.16 I-J, compare type species Brancus muticus Fig. 16E],

Telamonia fuscimana ( Simon, 1903) View in CoL = Brancus fuscimanus ( Simon, 1903) View in CoL [documented by Fig.16 K-

L],

Telamonia longiuscula (Thorell, 1899) = Hyllus longiusculus (Thorell, 1899) comb n. [documented

by Fig. 16G, compare with Fig. 16D],

Telamonia thoracica (Thorell, 1899) = Hyllus thoracicus (Thorell, 1899) comb, n. [documented by

Fig. 16H, compare type species Hyllus giganteus Fig. 16C].

Viciria albocincta Thorell, 1899 = Hyllus albocinctus (Thorell, 1899) comb. n. [documented by Fig.

16F].
