... figs 46, 47 in Logunov 1999a, but the latter differs in having the triangle posterior extension of the epigyne overhanging the epigastric furrow, which is absent from the new species. Finally, a unique feature of the new species is the shallow epigynal pocket, seen as a transverse fold situated close to the epigastric furrow (Figs 10, 12); of the described Chinattus species, only C. dactyloides has a properly developed, deep internal epigynal pocket (see figs 5, 6 in Peng & Xie 1995 Pt pr 0-1-0; Tb pr 0-1, v 1-2-2ap; Mt v 2-2ap.

The genus Hasarius Simon, 1871, is revised following methodology recommended by “Pragmatic classification” of Prószyński (2017). Structure of the genus is insufficiently known, containing at present single cosmopolite species and a few of uncertain congeners.The paper introduces the following nomenclatorical corrections: Hasarius adansoni: Jastrzebski, 2010b: 321, f. 1, 4-5 (female only) = Hasarius tropicus Jastrzebski, 2010 - correction of identification. Species: kweilinensis Prószyński, 1992, orientale Zabka, 1985, dactyloides Xie, Peng & Kim, 1993 listed variably in combinations with generic names Habrocestum, Habrocestoides, Hasarius and Chinattus seem to be misplaced in these genera and deserve transfer to own new genus. Qualification of 6 species of Hasarius as "nomina dubia" by the WSC (ver. 18.5) after Roewer's (1954[1955]: 1523-1524) is changed to "pending revision" because of existence of preserved type specimens. Synonymy of the genera Gedea Simon, 1902 and Meata Zabka, 1985 proposed recently by Maddison (2015) without published documentation are not recognized here until proof will appear printed.
... Chinattus is related to Habrocestum Simon 1876, and Phintella bösenberg & Strand 1906(logunov 1999. C. validus was described as Habrocestoides validus by Xie, Peng, Kim in 1993, and later by Peng & Xie (1995) from Hunan Province (China). Until now the state of knowledge of C. validus was incomplete, because of lack of information on a female. ...

Ten jumping spider species published by Song and Chai in 1992 are restudied. The following new synonyms are proposed: Chinattus emeiensis (Peng & Xie, 1995) syn. nov. [=C. undulatus (Song & Chai, 1992)], Evarcha paralbaria Song & Chai, 1992 syn. nov. (= E. coreana Seo, 1988), Ptocasius nanyuensis (Xie & Peng, 1995) syn. nov. [=P. badongensis (Song & Chai, 1992)]. Evarcha orientalis (Song & Chai, 1992) is transferred to Nigorella Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz, 2008. The synonymy status of Chinattus szechwanensis (Prószyński, 1992) with C. undulatus (Song & Chai, 1992) and Nigorella hunanensis (Peng, Xie & Kim, 1993) with N. hirticeps (Song & Chai, 1992) are restored.
... Habrocestum is a n Old World genus, with listed species distributions in t h e most recent catalog from Europe south to South Africa and east to Australia (Platnick 2003). Peng and Xie (1995), in a paper describing Chinese Habrocestoides, pointed out that true Habrocestum are restricted to the Mediterranean region and Africa. Logunov (1999) further clarified the placement of some Asian species. ...

The generic and specific composition of the Nearctic jumping spiders of the subfamily Euophryinae north of Mexico is reviewed, and the biogeographic affinities of the constituent groups are diagnosed. The five North American species of Habrocestum are removed from that non-euophryine genus; four are placed in the New Genus Naphrys, type species Habrocestum acerbum Peckham & Peckham 1909, creating the following New Combinations: Naphrys acerba (Peckham & Peckham), Naphrys bufoides (Chamberlin & Ivie 1944), Naphrys pulex (Hentz 1846), and Naphrys xerophila (Richman 1981). The fifth species is not an euophryine, and becomes Chinattus parvulus (Banks 1895), New Combination. Four species placed in the genus Tylogonus, another non-euophryine genus, are removed to the New Genus Mexigonus, type species Sidusa minuta F.O.P.-Cambridge 1901, creating the following New Combinations: Mexigonus arizonensis (Banks 1904), Mexigonus dentichelis ( F.O.P.-Cambridge 1901), Mexigonus minutus (F.O.P.-Cambridge), and Mexigonus morosus (Peckham & Peckham 1888). One of the two species of Nearctic Euophrys has been misplaced, and becomes Chalcoscirtus diminutus (Banks 1896), New Combination. New state records are reported for Chalcoscirtus diminutus [Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico], Mexigonus minutus [California], Naphrys acerba [New Mexico], and Pseudeuophrys erratica (Walckenaer 1826) [New York]. Of the eight known euophryine genera with Nearctic representatives, Anasaitis (one species) and Corythalia (two species) are considered Neotropical in origin, whereas Chalcoscirtus (three species), Euophrys (one species), and Talavera (one species) are considered Holarctic. The Palaearctic Pseudeuophrys erratica is introduced. The affinities of the apparently endemic Nearctic Naphrys (four species) and Mexigonus (f our species) are uncertain at this time. Although not an euophryine, the presence of a species of Chinattus in eastern North America is biogeographically interesting, as the other species in the genus are Asian; it joins a diversity of taxa with this distribution.

A new jumping spider species, Chinattus prabodhi sp. nov. is described based on female specimens collected from Assam State of India. Females of the new species can be distinguished from other known congeners by the epigyne lacking a distinctive circular median pocket, the long, narrow and arching copulatory ducts, aligned posteriorly at the copulatory openings, and the oblong spermathecae. With the discovery of the new species, the genus Chinattus Logunov 1999 is reported for the first time from India.
Thesis
Se presenta una sinopsis taxonómica parcial a nivel de género de las arañas saltarinas de la familia Salticidae Blackwall, 1841 (Araneae: Dyonicha) para Colombia. Se registran 105 géneros, 7 subtribus, 17 tribus y tres subfamilias, de los cuales 62 géneros, una subtribu (Harmochirina Simon, 1903), cuatro tribus (Hasariini Simon, 1903, Lapsiini Maddison, 2015, Myrmarachnini Simon, 1901 y Thiodinini Simon, 1901), y una subfamilia (Spartaeinae Wanless, 1984) corresponden a nuevos registros para la fauna de Salticidae de Colombia. Debido a la enorme limitación de tiempo para completar este trabajo en un semestre, sólo se incluye información para 31 géneros, configurando el presente trabajo en una primera entrega de géneros de Salticidae de Colombia. Adicionalmente, se incluye una introducción general a la diversidad y sistemática de Salticidae, presentando información como diagnosis, características generales, comentarios en sistemática e historia natural para cada uno de los géneros incluidos, así como imágenes diagnósticas, mapas de distribución y literatura de interés. Así mismo se incluye una primera clave taxonómica general de los géneros de Salticidae de Colombia, equivalente a aproximadamente 40% de los géneros del Nuevo Mundo. De esta manera se confirma a Colombia como un país con una enorme riqueza en el grupo. Finalmente, se ofrece un listado anexo que considera todas las especies de Salticidae del Nuevo Mundo. -- A partial taxonomic synopsis at genus level of the jumping spiders of the family Salticidae Blackwall, 1841 (Araneae: Dyonicha) from Colombia, is presented. 105 genera, 7 subtribes, 17 tribes and three subfamilies are officially reported, of which 62 genera, one subtribe (Harmochirina Simon, 1903), four tribes (Hasariini Simon, 1903, Lapsiini Maddison, 2015, Myrmarachnini Simon, 1901 and Thiodinini Simon, 1901), and one subfamily (Spartaeinae Wanless, 1984) correspond to new records for the salticid fauna of Colombia. Due to the enormous time limitation to complete this work in a semester, only information for 31 genera is included, configuring the present work in a first version of Genera of jumping spiders from Colombia. Additionally, a general introduction to the diversity and systematics of Salticidae is included, presenting information such as diagnosis, general characteristics, comments in systematics and natural history for each of the included genera, as well as diagnostic images, distribution maps and recommended literature. Likewise, a first general taxonomic key of the genera of Salticidae of Colombia, aproximatelly 40% of those from the New World, is included. In this way, Colombia is confirmed as a country with an enormous richness in the group. Finally, a list that considers all the salticid species of the New World is presented.
