F00487892E07FF9B6E0AFAAE3297EC2F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Selenops differs from other selenopid genera by the arrangement of the eyes. The anterior median eyes (AME), posterior median eyes (PME) and anterior lateral eyes (ALE) aligned or slightly recurved (Fig. 88 D), with the PME equal or subequal in size to AME. Leg II> leg IV; tibiae and metatarsi I­II with v 2 ­ 2 ­ 2 (Fig. 88 E) and v 2 ­ 2 spines respectively. Male palp with a retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA), with a dorsal part (dra) and a ventral part (vra); RTA usually not flattened with dra> vra. Median apophysis (am) small and simple with one or two branches. Female epigynum with central area welldeveloped, with distinct lateral lobes and epigynal pockets bigger than genital openings.	en	Corronca, J. A.

F00487892E07FF9B6E0AFAAE3297EC2F.taxon	description	Description. Prosoma brown to reddish brown, usually with dark spots. Chelicerae brown, normally with black or grey spots. Labium and sternum usually paler in colour. Anterior part of opisthosoma truncated and grey or yellowish with brown or black dorsal marks; several species with a distinct colour pattern on dorsal opisthosoma (Fig. 88 B). Venter of the opisthosoma yellowish, without markings; lateral­posterior margins with dark spots, lines or bands. Some species with tufts of white hairs posteriorly on the opisthosoma. AME, ALE and PME in one line, PLE largest, situated on a postero­lateral tubercle; ALE the smallest. Prosoma wider than long (Fig. 88 A), clypeus <AME. Chelicerae with distinct lateral condyles and cheliceral furrows with three prolateral and two retrolateral teeth (Fig. 88 F). Labium as wide as or wider than long. Sternum sub­circular, sometimes slightly bifurcated posteriorly (Fig. 88 C). Palps usually with tibia longer than patella. Legs long, laterigrade and with second pair usually longer than the fourth. Tarsi two­clawed, with one claw slightly pectinated, the other generally smooth. Trichobothria on tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi. Leg spination: femora I­IV with d 1.1.1; tibiae I­II with v 2.2.2 and metatarsi I­II v 2.2, males normally with many more spines than the females. Dorsal part of male RTA in a few cases with two branches or hypertrophied. Petiolus (sclerite of basal haematodocha) well developed, triangular or elongated; subtegulum with 1 ­ 5 anelli and with terminal depression, the latter with one interlocking prolateral projection. Embolus short and broad or long and slender, but always with a large sclerotized conductor covering a large part of it. The form of the conductor varies between species from T­shaped and subtriangular to falciform. Median apophysis with one or two branches. Epigynum with middle field well developed or reduced. Middle field consists of a septum or a depression, in which the lateral lobes of the epigynum may reach each other or not at the midline. Secondary epigynal pockets present. Spermathecae usually simple, in several cases complex. Species inquirendae. The type specimens of Selenops fugitivus Walckenaer, 1837, S. modestellus Strand, 1907 and S. nanus Strand, 1907 were destroyed during the two World Wars and the species cannot be identified from the original descriptions (Benoit 1968). The above mentioned species are not included in this study.	en	Corronca, J. A. (2002): A taxonomic revision of the afrotropical species of Selenops Latreille, 1819 (Araneae, Selenopidae).

F00487892E0DFF916E0AFC943272E8BF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males of S. annulatus are easily identified by the following combination of characters: median apophysis of the male palp with transparent branch much higher than the sclerotized one and distinct shape of the tibial apophysis and of the tip of the conductor (Figs. 7 ­ 8). S. annulatus resembles S. radiatus in having a lateral projection on the tegulum but in the latter species the projection is larger with a straight external margin. The females are distinguished by both the shape of the middle field and the spermathecae (Figs. 4 ­ 5). S. annulatus females resemble S. intricatus in the shape of the middle field, but in S. intricatus it is more rhomboidal and longer than wide (Fig. 32).	en	Corronca, J. A.

F00487892E10FF8E6E0AF979351FEE87.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. In S. lumbo the shape of the conductor resembles that of S. radiatus (Fig. 54) and the shape of the tibial apophysis resembles that of S. annulatus Simon (Figs. 7 ­ 8). However, the shape of the median apophysis differs from both species. The median apophysis is characterized by the large size of both branches; one of them is slender and well sclerotized and the other broad (Figs 54 ­ 55). The females of S. lumbo resembles S. viron sp. nov. in the general shape of the epigynum but the position and shape of the pockets of the epigynum and the spermathecae differ. In S. lumbo, the epigynal pockets open on the middle line of the epigynum and the genital openings are wider than in S. viron (Fig. 51).	en	Corronca, J. A.

F00487892E18FF856E0AFC34328CED01.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The females of this species resemble S. lumbo, but in S. viron sp. nov. the pockets of the epigynum are situated behind the midline and are more elongated than in S. lumbo (Fig. 79). The course of the internal duct system of the spermathecae also differs (Fig. 80).	en	Corronca, J. A.

F00487892E1AFF876E0AFEC435E8E950.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. In the females of S. zairensis and S. pygmaeus the general shape of the spermathecae (Fig. 82) are very similar. However they can be distinguished from each other by the shape of the elongated middle field and the lateral lobes present near the midline in S. zairensis (Fig. 81).	en	Corronca, J. A.

F00487892E25FFB96E0AFEC43589EB7F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The females of S. zuluanus are identified by the shape of a sub­hexagonal middle field (Fig. 86) and the complex and strongly sclerotized spermathecae (Fig. 87). The males have the dorsal part of RTA finger­shaped, longer than the ventral part of the RTA (Fig. 84), the conductor is well­developed and the embolus slender and long (Fig. 85).	en	Corronca, J. A.
