The Mounded Posterior Median Eyes (MPME) clade is a group of linyphiid spiders characterized by having posterior median eyes (PME) on a mound. The species diversity of this lineage, especially in the Neotropical region, is still largely unknown. In this study, we tackled one of the MPME groups, the genus Diplothyron Millidge, 1991. We have studied...
We address the phylogenetic relationships of pimoid spiders (Pimoidae) using a standard target-gene approach with an extensive taxonomic sample, which includes representatives of the four currently recognized pimoid genera, 26 linyphiid genera, a sample of Physoglenidae, Cyatholipidae and one Tetragnathidae species. We test the monophyly of Pimoida...
We have revised the linyphiid genera Jalapyphantes and Selenyphantes. Jalapyphantes now includes five species, one of them new (J. tricolor sp. nov.). Selenyphantes now consists of six species of which five are new (S. costaricensis sp. nov., S. gaimani sp. nov., S. iztactepetl sp. nov., S. orizabae sp. nov. and S. volcanicus sp. nov.). To infer th...
All species of Epicadus Simon, 1895 are reviewed and redescribed, including the previously unknown males of E. rubripes
Mello-Leitão, 1924 and E. planus Mello-Leitão, 1932. A new diagnosis based on morphological characters is proposed
for the genus. Three valid species of Epicadus are recognized: E. heterogaster (Guérin-Méneville, 1829); E.
rubripe...
The monotypic linyphiid genus Lomaita Bryant 1948 is redescribed. We present an updated description of the male of L. darlingtoni, the first description of the female and data on its natural history and distribution in the Dominican Republic. We provide a hypothesis on the phylogenetic placement of Lomaita based on cladistic analyses of morphologic...
A check list of the Araneae type specimens deposited in the Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, is given, including also all the type specimens of species described by Mello-Leitão without a clear repository. From a total of 923 type lots (which comprises 813 valid species names) cited in the list, 667 are available, 239 were no...
The Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro’s Arachnology laboratory is in the oldest zoological research institution in Brazil and holds one of the most important collections of South America, being depository of some of the most important Arachnological private collections such as those formerly amassed by Cândido Firmino de Mello-Leitão and Helia Eller...
