Nepalicius Prószyński, 2016, syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of Okinawicius Prószyński, 2016. Three new combinations are proposed: O. nepalicus (Andreeva, Hęciak & Prószyński, 1984), comb. nov. and O. seychellensis (Wanless, 1984), comb. nov. transferred from Nepalicius, and O. daoxianensis (Peng, Gong & Kim, 2000), comb. nov. transferred from Philaeus Thorell, 1869. The unknown females of O. nepalicus, Padillothorax exilis (Cao & Li, 2016) and Siler hanoicus Prószyński, 1985 are described for the first time. Distribution maps of the studied specimens are also provided.
... Diagnosis. Evarcha are medium-sized plexippine salticids displaying a vast diversity in genital morphology: the embolus may be short, stout and compact or range to very long and filamentous; tegulum ranges from round, oval to conical and may bear distinctive outgrowths/ expansions; single RTA present; insemination ducts range from broad and membranous to thin and tube-shaped; Leg III longer than IV (Wang et al. 2024;Zamani et al. 2017;Żabka 1993). However, it has been suggested that Evarcha, as currently defined, acts as a 'dumping ground' genus and likely harbours many unrelated species, and cryptic generic diversity (Kanesharatnam and Benjamin 2020). ...
... However, it has been suggested that Evarcha, as currently defined, acts as a 'dumping ground' genus and likely harbours many unrelated species, and cryptic generic diversity (Kanesharatnam and Benjamin 2020). Thus, a universal definition of the genus is difficult to propose (Wang et al. 2024). Etymology. ...
Despite being the most diverse family of spiders, Salticidae (jumping spiders) are poorly studied in Madagascar with only 47 of the total 105 species recorded in the last 100 years. Here, we describe three new species of Plexippini Simon, 1901 from dry forests in North-western Madagascar as part of an ongoing biomonitoring programme. This paper increases the number of species in the genus Evarcha Simon, 1902 from 93 to 95 and Thyene Simon, 1885 from 55 to 56. Additionally, we publish specimen records of Plexippus petersi (Karsch, 1878) from Madagascar for the first time. All new species are diagnosed and illustrated through photographs and drawings.
... The Xizang region in China hosts tremendous biodiversity due to its complex landscapes and varied climates (Favre et al. 2015;Deng et al. 2020;Mao et al. 2021). However, the chrysilline jumping spider fauna is poorly documented and only six species in four genera were previously recorded there (Hu 2001;Wang et al. 2024). Recently, we conducted fieldwork and collected jumping spiders in the eastern and southern areas of Xizang. ...

Six new species of Chrysillini are described from Xizang, China: Chrysilla yarlungzangbo sp. nov. (♂), Icius faker sp. nov. (♂♀), I. han sp. nov. (♂♀), I. kui sp. nov. (♂♀), I. kulakangri sp. nov. (♂♀), I. zhengi sp. nov. (♂♀). In addition, a new combination is proposed: Nandicius gyirongensis (Hu, 2001) comb. nov. (♂♀) (transferred from Psenuc Prószyński, 2016), and the males of this species are described for the first time. Siler niser Caleb, Parag & Datta-Roy, 2023 (♂♀) is newly recorded in China.
A list of 94 salticid species of 48 genera collected from Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province is provided. Four new salticid species are diagnosed, described, and illustrated: Charippus wangzuo K. Liu, sp. nov., Cytaea hezizhen K. Liu, sp. nov., Orientattus chushu K. Liu, sp. nov. and Yaginumanis yuanwencai K. Liu, sp. nov.. Previously unknown females of Eupoa pengi Liu, 2021, and Yaginumaella lobata Peng, Tso & Li, 2002 are described for the first time. In contrast, the data also shows that there are many nature reserves with a high percentage of unknown spider species in need of further intensive and extensive survey. Hence, our study will make a significant contribution to our understanding of species diversity and the importance of the reserve.
