03D88781FF9DC15E66ABF8AC65A84EFF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Corythalia is distinguished from all other salticid genera by the following characters in combination: cheliceral fangs very short (in resting position tips of the two claws at most reaching each other, but not crossing as in most other salticid genera), retromargin of cheliceral furrow with one very small and slim (tiny) tooth (Figs 2 A, 3 A), promargin either with one tooth or, more rarely, with two teeth located very close together or even connected with each other, all teeth very small and slim (often even tiny). Anterior surface of cheliceral base medio-distally with small lobe with several hairs (Figs 2 A – B, 3 A – B). Males with long, dark fringe of hairs on tibiae and metatarsi of walking legs III, often similarly well developed on legs I – II (Figs 3 D – E, 59 G, 60 I). Embolus coiled, at least at its disc-shaped base (Fig. 1 A). Tegulum proximally extending beyond proximal margin of cymbium and partly covering palpal tibia, generally in form of a proximal lobe (at retrolateral section) (Fig. 1 A). Male palpal tibia ventrally usually with bump (Fig. 1 A). Distal haematodocha developed (Fig. 64 F). Epigyne with epigynal windows, separated by a longitudinal septum (Figs 1 B – C). In general, vulva with primary and secondary spermatheca (the former mostly larger than the latter), both connected by a narrow and long duct, often longer than diameter of primary spermatheca (Fig. 1 D). In dorsal view carapace anteriorly not broader than centrally (Fig. 3 D). Anterior lateral eyes in frontal view clearly located further dorsally than anterior median eyes (Fig. 3 B). Opisthosoma dark brown with at least one light, usually broad, transverse band (Fig. 3 D), only rarely narrow and / or interrupted medially. Most species with three light transverse bands on abdomen. Carapace at proximo-lateral margins mostly with broad bands of light scale hairs (Fig. 3 D). RTA mostly with dorsal serration (Fig. 1 A).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FF9DC15E66ABF8AC65A84EFF.taxon	description	Description. Medium-sized jumping spiders. Body length of males 3.5 – 8.6 mm, of females 4.0 – 10.5 mm. Width of anterior part of carapace slightly narrower than widest section of carapace. Posterior median eyes slightly closer to posterior lateral eyes than to anterior lateral eyes (Fig. 3 C). In lateral view dorsal margin of carapace running parallel to the longitudinal axis of body in central third, decreasing abruptly behind and decreasing rather smoothly in front (Fig. 3 C). Anterior median eyes and anterior lateral eyes relatively small in comparison to many other salticid genera, not occupying complete carapace width in frontal view. Clypeus below anterior median eyes comparatively low. Chelicerae short and weak, basal article about 1.5 times longer than broad. Cheliceral furrow with one tooth or, more rarely, two teeth (if two, than both located very closely together) anteriorly and one posteriorly, all teeth very slim and small (Figs 2 A – B, 3 A). Cheliceral base dorso-medio-proximally with lobe carrying several long hairs that are sometimes slightly curved. Labium approximately as long as wide (Figs 3 F, 4 A) or in- significantly longer than broad. Gnathocoxae (endites) about 1.5 times longer than wide, diverging distally and in males with broad, short, pointed “ corner ” laterally, almost at predistal section (Figs 3 A, 4 A). Females without such a “ corner ” or at best minimally indicated (Fig. 3 F). Sternum shield-shaped, about 1.5 times longer than broad (Figs 4 B – C). Palps in males (Fig. 4 D) and females without claw. Tarsi of legs distally with two inhomogeneous tarsal claws, prolateral tarsal claws with more teeth (10 – 15 in forelegs; 15 – 20 in hind legs) than retrolateral ones (5 – 10 in forelegs; 10 – 15 in hind legs). Legs as in most salticids, rather short (metatarsus I about 0.3 – 0.5 x carapace length), those of males slightly longer than those of females. LEG FORMULA: 3412, 4312, 3421 or 4321. SPINATION OF PALP AND LEGS: variable within each species and among the species; some patterns, however, very conservative. Mostly, no species-specific spination pattern recognisable. At the following positions spines are always absent: all articles of palps, tarsi, ventral surfaces of all femora and all patellae. Ventral spines on tibiae and metatarsi mostly paired. Conservative patterns: spination on metatarsus III mostly 3134, on patellae I – II mostly 1000, on patellae III – IV mostly 1010. Males with long, dark fringe of hairs on tibiae and metatarsi of leg pairs I – III [especially ventrally, slightly less developed dorsally; fringe hairs most distinctly developed on leg pair III, in some species missing at leg pairs I – II (Fig. 3 E), or in a few species also appearing on leg pair IV, but less distinct (Fig. 59 G)]. COLOURA- TION: chelicerae brown to dark red-brown. Sternum generally yellowish-brown, slightly darker on lateral margins. Carapace brown, red-brown or dark brown, eye region even darker than further proximal sections, often with light scales, the latter often in small patches, more densely arranged (Figs 3 B, 3 D). Proximal sections of lateral margins with broad bands of dense, light scales (Fig. 3 D). Coxae, trochanteres and sternum generally lighter brown (often even beige or yellowish) than carapace and legs. Palp yellowish light brown or light red-brown, except for palpal tibia and tarsus, which are darker; palpal patella and distal 2 / 3 of femur in males with many light scales (Figs 3 B, 5). Legs from yellowish-beige and light brown to dark brown; generally coxae (incl. trochanteres), patellae (at least III and IV) and distal parts of tibiae (sometimes also distal parts of metatarsi), as well as tarsi, lighter than remaining articles (Figs 3 D, 4 B); mentioned articles in males often only slightly lighter. However, several species have (almost) unicoloured brown to dark brown legs, or at least only the proximalmost articles (coxae and trochanteres) and tarsi III & IV lighter. Opisthosoma dorsally brown to dark brown with at least one transversal light band (build partly by pigmentation and partly by light scales); lateral, posterior and anterior surfaces often also with light colouration (light bordering) (Figs 3 D, 59 F, 60 D, 62 D, 62 I, 63 B, 63 D, 63 F), ventrally with distinctly lighter basic colouration than dorsally, mostly grey-brown to beige (Fig. 4 B). General dorsal colouration of opisthosoma: brown to dark brown with three light transverse bands; anteriormost of such broadest, but often not as light as central one, being second broadest and often containing dark chevron-like patch centrally; posteriormost band clearly narrowest and sometimes centrally interrupted. Anterior lateral spinnerets 2 – 2.5 x longer than broad and slightly conical, posterior median and posterior lateral spinnerets distinctly more slender (3.5 – 5 x longer than broad) and approximately cylindrical, about as long as anterior lateral spinnerets (Fig. 4 E). COPULATORY ORGANS: Male palp with elongated tegulum, proximally with distinct lobe (generally in retrolateral section). Embolus coiled (at least at the embolus base section), mostly moderately long (Fig. 1 A), sometimes rather short (Figs 17 A, 20 A, 20 C, 21 A) and rarely long and filiform (Figs 52 A – B, 53 A – B, 54 A – B). Embolus base and arising point of embolus prolatero- or centro-distally on tegulum. Regular, meaning, explicit conductor missing. Rarely membranous structure (with partial function of a conductor?) in direct longitudinal conjunction with embolus (Figs 50 A – B, 67 E – H), termed embolic lamina by most authors working on Salticidae. Distal and basal haematodocha present (Fig. 64 F). Subtegulum mostly not easily recognisable in ventral view. Cymbium (rarely only slightly) broader than palpal tibia and patella and dorsally with (not very dense) scopula at distal 1 / 6 to distal 1 / 3 (Figs 4 D, 4 F, 68 A, 69 D, 70 D). Length and density of scopula with hardly any variation among different species (at least not distinguishable from intraspecific variation). RTA mostly moderately long and generally serrated dorsally (Fig. 1 A), its base in retrolateral view in a few species quite broad. Female epigyne mostly with distinct epigynal windows (e. g. Figs 1 B – C, 6 C, 8 A, 71, 72). Primary spermathecae mostly visible through epigynal cuticula. Vulva generally with primary and secondary spermatheca, connective duct between these two, fertilisation duct and copulatory duct (e. g. Figs 1 D, 30 D, 75, 77). Spermathecal heads usually arising from secondary spermathecae.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FF9DC15E66ABF8AC65A84EFF.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. According to Crane (1948) feeding behaviour of Corythalia specimens is typical salticid-like, which means leaping on the prey. Most specimens of Corythalia were captured in pitfall traps, by visually screening the ground, sieving leaf litter or in tree eclectors. The genus is therefore supposed to comprise mainly litter inhabiting and ground active spiders. The very short cheliceral fangs suggest a prey spectrum of rather small arthropods with weak cuticle, e. g. springtails (Collembola), psocids (Psocoptera) and other small soil or bark-dwelling animals. Several Corythalia species seem to be specialised on ants as prey (G. Ruiz, pers. comm.).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FF9EC15A66ABFA7863F44E9F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The present neotype designation (see above) is based on ICZN § 75.3 and justified as the following qualifying conditions (according to ICZN § 75.3.1 – 7) are given: the description and the illustration in Koch (1846) definitely allow assignment to the same genus to which other species belong, which have (after 1846) been treated as members of Corythalia since a long time. For example, C. valida (Peckham & Peckham, 1901), C. grata (Peckham & Peckham, 1901), C. electa (Peckham & Peckham, 1901), C. metallica (Peckham & Peckham, 1894) or C. bicincta (Petrunkevitch, 1925) have been found to have a quite similar colouration, habitus and somatical characters as C. latipes and were assigned to Corythalia by different authors experienced in salticid taxonomy. Thus, we follow Simon (1901), who regarded the representatives of the genera Dynamius (note: some of the above mentioned species were listed in this genus at that point of time. Additionally that genus held other species, e. g. D. opimus, sharing the main somatic characters with C. latipes, but differing in colouration of the opisthosoma) and (at least a large part of) the representatives of Escambia as being congeneric with C. latipes. He consequently listed the respective species from that time on under Corythalia [the oldest genus name available, after elevation to genus rank by Simon (1901)]. All characters described and illustrated by Koch (1846) for C. latipes are in concordance with the revised diagnosis for the genus Corythalia herein. As marginal note it may be added: the white scales along the margins of the proximal half of the carapace, which are present in most Corythalia species, are not recognisable in Koch’s drawing (see Fig. 5), however, they were described by Koch (1846) in the text of the description. Even though the identity of C. latipes as a representative of the genus Corythalia is free of doubt, the identity / definition of the distinct / particular species C. latipes (in comparison to other Corythalia species) is definitely puzzling without an objective reference, meaning an adult male specimen showing all diagnostic characters to discriminate C. latipes from other Corythalia species. In this context the specific structures of the male copulatory organ (i. e. the male palp) are indispensable. As C. latipes is the type species of Corythalia, it is even more comprehensible that its species identity has to be resolved. The original holotype is lost: Stefan Friedrich and Jörg Spelda have intensively searched the collections of the ZSM (even the entomological collections) and could not find it. After intensive search, neither could the curators of the arachnid collections of the natural history museums NHMNB, ZMB, NHMW, NHM, MNHN, OUMNH and NMBE. In most of these institutions the entomological collections (dry and ethanol) were also searched for. The deposition of the original holotype in one of the institutions mentioned above seemed likely, since parts of either the collection of C. L. Koch or that of J. A. M. Perty are hold there. The Corythalia male examined herein and designated as the neotype had been collected in Bahia in Brazil (see above). Its colouration pattern and the main somatic charcters correspond well to the illustration and description in Koch (1846) for C. latipes: body length: 2 2 / 3 ´´´ “ lignes ” / ” Linien ”, means 6.02 mm if Parisian “ ligne ” was used (which is more likely) or 5.40 mm if Bavarian “ Linie ” was used. Carapace dark red-brown, eye region even darker black-brown, behind and between posterior eyes with some patches of light scales, proximal margins of carapace with bands of light (white) scales; chelicerae red-brown, cheliceral fangs short (Koch 1846). Opisthosoma: dorsally with two large, light beige, procurve lunulate patches in posterior two thirds (within them some fine dark areas) and one narrower light beige, trifurcate patch in anteriormost section (also with darker areas within) (Koch 1846). These latter aspects only in parts correspond to the present neotype, but it is possible that the specimen Koch had once examined was dried and its opisthosoma shrunken. Legs I and II strong and broad, all legs quite dark red-brown, all legs with long fringe hairs, longest and most conspicuously developed in leg pair III; leg pair III longer than pairs I and II and minimally shorter than leg pair IV; leg tarsi yellow. Palps with similar basic colouration as legs, but with whitish hairs densely arranged on patellae and distal sections of femora (Koch 1846). Upon arrival in Nuremberg, where C. L. Koch was working at the time around 1846, the specimen must have been labelled as “ Salticus latipes Perty ” and must have been taken from the collection of Josef Anton Maximilian Perty containing mainly material from South America deposited at the Natural History Museum Munich (ZSM), as Koch (1846) states (see above). A jumping spider species Salticus latipes, however, was never described and published by J. A. M. Perty. It is possible that Perty originally intented to do so, but did not find the time or thought that Koch was more qualified to describe a Brazilian salticid. There is no detailed type locality for the former holotype of C. latipes given in Koch (1846); it is likely that is was once collected in the province of Bahia in Brazil: Perty (1833) described many Brazilian arachnids and, in the context of this study, he certainly collected / gathered a lot more arachnid species / specimens than those actually treated in his study. As type locality for several of “ his ” species, he listed the state of Bahia in Brazil. It is also most likely that the material was collected near the coast in Bahia, because in the 19 th century regions close to the coast were more often visited by researchers, due to an earlier peopling and a better infrastructure in contrast to higher life risk in the interior.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

LEG FORMULA: 4321. COPULATORY ORGAN: epigyne with stout oval (almost round) epigynal windows, septum uncontinuous (Figs 7 C, 71 B) and proximally relatively broad. Epigynal field broader than long. Primary spermathecae (PS), visible through cuticle of W, filling large part of W (almost up to proximal 2 / 3, Figs 7 C, 71 B). Vulva with diagonally orientated oval (almost round) primary spermathecae being distinctly larger than secondary spermathecae. Head of spermatheca directed postero-laterally on secondary spermatheca (Figs 7 D – E, 75 B). Connective ducts narrow, quite short and meeting primary spermathecae medially (Figs 7 D, 75 B – C).

Intraspecific variation of male and female copulatory organs. In a few males (Figs 64 C – D) T broader than in others. In some males E slightly longer than usually (Fig. 64 D) or slightly stronger curved distally (Figs 64 B – C). PTL in some males with prolateral lobe absent (Figs 64 B, D). Rarely T just minimally narrower than cymbium (Fig. 64 C). In females an even higher degree of intraspecific variation is recognisable: few females with DST longer than usually and anteriorly surrounding SS (Fig. 75 D), or DST covering medial 1 / 5 of SS (Fig. 75 B). Orientation of PS in some females almost longitudinal (Fig. 75 C) or almost transversal (Fig. 75 D) instead of diagonal as usual. In one specimen SS located further posteriorly (Fig. 75 E) than usually (However, this might have teratological reasons in this particular case). Direction of head of spermatheca in some females antero-lateral (Fig. 75 C).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FF9AC14766ABF8E763BF481C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This seems to be a widely distributed and common species. It resembles C. noda and C. concinna sp. nov. in having an uncontinuous SW, almost round W, SS that are clearly smaller than PS and relatively short DST. These species thus might be close relatives of C. conferta sp. nov. In C. drepane sp. nov. at least the males are similar to C. conferta sp. nov. in having moderately long emboli, PTL with prolateral lobe (even though in the latter species not always) and medium sized RTA. Being aware that recovering relationships between species requires a phylogenetic approach (e. g. molecular phylogenetic methods or morphological cladistic methods), we find that similarities in such complex and specialised organs like the copulatory organs are also strong indicators of a close relationship (Bayer 2012; Bayer & Schönhofer 2013; Copley et al. 2009).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FF80C14266ABFD9865BF4D5F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. as this species exhibits a similar male copulatory organ as C. latipes, C. conferta sp. nov. and C. drepane sp. nov. it is likely that it is closely related to these species. Consequently it is likely that its colouration is very similar to these species. The conservative aspects (see genus description) are certainly given in this species. The following aspects can be recognised in the similar species mentioned above: carapace dark red-brown. Legs dark brown to red-brown, except for some articles being lighter (see genus description). Opisthosoma like noted in genus description under general dorsal colouration, except for chevron-like patch in central band missing. Female: unknown. Remarks. The male holotype was destroyed during the fire disaster at the Instituto Butantan, São Paulo. Hence, it could not be re-examined for the present study. Other material of this species does not exist at the collections of the IBSP (A. D. Brescovit, pers. comm.). We therefor based our species description, revised diagnosis, etc. on the illustrations and descriptions in Ruiz et al. (2007). Based on the male copulatory organs, C. insularis is similar to C. latipes, C. conferta sp. nov. and C. drepane sp. nov. These species thus might be close relatives to the present species.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

COPULATORY ORGAN: epigynal windows (W) elongated, but not distinctly, anterior margins of W medially not reaching each other (anterior gap) (Figs 11 C, 71 F); septum of W anteriorly not diverging and not reaching anterior margins of W (gap approximately as long as width of septum); fine margin completely enclosing both W (Figs 11 C, 12 C, 71 E – F). Epigynal field well recognisable and broader than long. Primary spermathecae (PS), visible through cuticle of W, filling W up to about proximal 1 / 2, in lateral extension, however, clearly not reaching lateral margin of W (Figs 11 C, 71 E – F). Copulatory ducts of vulva short, running from medial copulatory openings (slightly antero-) laterally to secondary spermathecae (SS) (Figs 11 D, 12 D, 75 H – I); connective duct quite narrow, arising anteriorly in retrolateral section of SS and meeting primary spermathecae medially to postero-medially; heads of spermathecae centrally at posterior section of SS (Figs 11 D – E, 75 I); primary spermathecae (PS) not distinctly larger than SS and roughly round; fertilisation ducts arising centro-anteriorly at medial half of primary spermathecae and running (slightly postero-) laterally (Figs 11 D – E, 75 H – I). COLOURATION: as in male (see above), but darker, e. g carapace darker red brown (Fig. 61 E), legs almost completely red brown, except for coxae, which are light yellowish red brown and patellae, which are light red brown (Fig. 61 E). In some specimens central transversal band on opisthosoma being curved (recurv). Intraspecific variation of male and female copulatory organs. Among the male types not very high: prolateral projection at proximal tegulum lobe in one paratype (Fig. 12 A), slightly less distinct than in holotype (Figs 11 A, 64 E). Tegulum in holotype rather compact (Figs 11 A, 64 E), whereas in paratypes (Figs 12 A, 64 F) tegulum slightly more elongated and appearing slightly slimmer. In retrolateral view dorso-distal teeth on RTA being slightly more distinctly developed in paratype [E 4] (Fig. 12 B) than in holotype (Fig. 11 B) and other paratype. In female paratypes copulatory organs also show rather low variation. In specimen SMNK-ARA 02321 (Fig. 71 E) epigynal windows minimally more elongated than in remaining specimens (Figs 11 C, 12 C, 71 F). Epigynal field slightly longer in SMNK-ARA 02321 (Fig. 71 E) than in other specimens (Figs 11 C, 12 C, 71 F). In specimen SMNK-ARA 02321 (Fig. 75 H) distance over both secondary spermathecae (in comparison to distance over both primary spermathecae) slightly longer than in remaining paratypes (Figs 11 D, 12 D, 75 I). In female paratype SMNK- ARA 02322 (Fig. 12 D) primary spermathecae minimally more transversally elongated than in other females.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FF83C14E66ABFB5862094A5C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is similar to C. conferta sp. nov., C. antepagmenti sp. nov., C. insularis and C. ricti Bayer, sp. nov., as far as the males are concerned. All share a similar embolus, embolus base (except for C. ricti Bayer, sp. nov.), sperm duct course and general shape of tegulum. Females are neither similar to C. antepagmenti sp. nov. nor to C. conferta sp. nov., however, very similar to C. drepanopsis sp. nov., whose conspecific males are still unknown. From C. insularis and C. ricti Bayer, sp. nov., on the other hand, the females are still unknown. All this impedes a prediction on possible relationships.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FF89C14A66ABFF6C62B44C78.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The present new species is quite similar to C. ricti Bayer, sp. nov., C. drepane sp. nov., C. insularis and C. conferta sp. nov. as far as the males are concerned. All share a similar embolus, embolus base (apart from prolateral extension being only present in C. ricti Bayer, sp. nov.), sperm duct course and general shape of tegulum with PTL distinct and (at least sometimes) with prolateral lobe. A close relationship between these species seems likely. As far as the females are concerned C. antepagmenti sp. nov. is similar to C. conferta sp. nov. and C. concinna sp. nov. From the latter species the male is unknown which impedes a statement on relationship.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFB5C17666ABFEF0628E4DC4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Conspecificity of the female paralectotype with the male lectotype and the male paralectotypes is not certain. In Peckham & Peckham (1901) there is no specified recorded locality given. Brazil is very huge and it is not certain (but possible) that males and the female were once found at the same spot. At arrival at SMNK (Apr. 2015) the type series of Dynamius parvus (MCZ 22546) contained two more males that were not conspecific with the remaining five males. The two differing males must have been erroneously put there at some time. G. Bodner (during an examination in Mar. 2000; written on one of the labels) also recognized that. In the course of the present study they have been recognized as the types of D. fimbriatus as they match the respective drawings in Peckham & Peckham (1901)! Consequently, they have been transferred to the vial with the original label of D. fimbriatus (MCZ 21310). We are not able to make any predictions on possible relationships of C. parva. It shows characters that are hardly shared by any other Corythalia species: arising point of embolus (E) in prolatero-proximal section of embolus base (EB), consequently, short E only slightly reaching beyond distal margin of EB; tip of E truncated; basic shape of tegulm (including PTL). Females are also unique, having small, round epigynal windows conspicuously far distant from epigastric furrow and lacking secondary spermathecae.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFB1C17266ABFF6C63F64E4C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The female specimen MCZ 22679 is here designated as the lectotype. The type series is polytypic in including misidentified specimens of C. waleckii (see above). Several drawings (Peckham & Peckham 1901, pl. 25, Figs 11 a – c) of a palp of a male specimen the authors considered conspecific with the female mentioned above and below have clearly turned out to belong to a male of C. waleckii. The epigyne of the female lectotype clearly corresponds to the respective drawing in Peckham & Peckham (1901, pl. 25, Fig. 11). So there is a clear reference to the type of epigyne the authors considered specific for the new species they wanted to introduce and was, in fact, new, meaning not already known to science at that point of time (around 1900). The small male paralectotype of Dynamius blandus listed with the type material of C. blanda (see below) was here recognised as definitely being misidentified. Due to the small body length and the dentition of the promargin of the cheliceral base (two very small and narrow teeth, instead of one in the other species originally found in the same vial [C. waleckii, C. blanda]) it is very likely that this male is conspecific to the female lectotype of C. placata. However, it should be considered that conspecificity is not 100 % certain as the collecting events in Trinidad by W. E. Broadway yielded several species and may not originate from one and the same spot. Consequently, it cannot be excluded that this male belongs to an additional different species (other than C. blanda, C. waleckii and C. placata; e. g. still not described or still only known by females). Independently of the new identification in the course of the present examinations the mentioned male keeps its paralectotype status (of Dynamius blandus). Though it was here separated from the original (type) series, the original collection number is still integrated in the new collection number and it was clearly mentioned that it was taken from the mentioned type series / collection number and actually still belongs there but for organisational reasons and for reasons of better handling it was separated. The type series of Dynamius placatus (MCZ 22679) contained two (identifiable) species and some juvenile specimens. For organisational reasons and for reasons of better handling it was split into several subseries (see above). One female and one male were identified as C. waleckii. The juveniles cannot be identified to species. However, we find it more likely that they belong to either C. waleckii or to C. blanda than to C. placata because the dentition of the retromargin of the cheliceral furrow corresponds to the first mentioned species. The male from Venezuela (AMNH-IZC 00327948; formerly Crane-collection) corresponds to the male MCZ 20545 - II, apart from a few very fine differences (might rather be of intraspecific nature). Due to these fine differences and to the fact that the matching of the male MCZ 20545 - II with the female lectotype of C. placata is not for 100 % certain we listed the male from AMNH under doubtful material. As a male with the (field-? / sample-?) no. P 16 was not listed in Crane (1948) in the material list of C. xanthopa we wonder for which description this male might have been used and even more for which illustration it might have been the template / sample. Certainly an illustration of a somatic structure, otherwise the completely different structure of the palp must have attracted her attetion. This male is definitely not the holotype of C. xanthopa and as there is no clear reference of this male to a specimen listed (or illustrated with its palp) in Crane (1948) the type denotation on the label is definitely void according to the ICZN. At least parts of the Crane collection were not well organised by her (or collaborators?), hence, such kind of confusion is not surprising. To this see also the remarks under the species descriptions of C. fulgipedia, C. chalcea and C. xanthopa, below. We are not able to make any assumptions on possible relationships of C. placata. It shows characters that are not shared by any other Corythalia species: i. e. totally inverted system of the vulva, etc. (see above).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

COPULATORY ORGAN: embolus (E) medium-sized, hose-shaped, subdistally slightly fusiformly broadened and tip prolatero-distally with very small and fine candle flame-like protrusion (Figs 19 A, 65 A); E in retrolateral view pre-subdistally abruptly converging, with distal section distinctly narrower (Figs 19 B, 68 I); E arising at centro- to prolatero-proximal section of embolus base (EB); EB circle half as broad as tegulum (T) or slightly more; T compact, minimally broader than cymbium and without clearly distinguished prolateral tegulum lobe but T rather blunt-rounded conically converging retrolatero-proximally (Figs 19 A, 65 A); sperm duct double-stacked S-shaped, occupying retrolateral 2 / 3 of T (Figs 19 A, 65 A). Cymbium distally blunt conically converging and distally rounded (Figs 19 A, 65 A). Palpal tibia about as broad as long (Figs 19 A – B, 65 A, 68 I) and ventral tibial bump not far reaching ventrally (Figs 19 B, 68 I). RTA quite slim and with dorsal serration (Figs 19 A – B, 65 A, 68 I) covering about distal 2 / 5 of RTA (Figs 19 B, 68 I). COLOURATION: see genus description for conservative aspects. Carapace dark brown to dark red-brown (Fig. 57 G). Legs dark brown to red-brown, except for some articles being lighter (see genus description) (Fig. 57 G). Opisthosoma like noted in genus description under general dorsal colouration, but as many hairs are rubbed-off and cuticle has separated from subcuticle it is impossible to make a statement on the existence of a chevron-like patch in central band (Fig. 57 G).

03D88781FFBDC17E66ABFD6A658E4BCC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. At arrival at SMNK (Apr. 2015) the male lectotype and the male paralectotype were found among the types of Dynamius parvus (MCZ 22546). They must have been erroneously put there. G. Bodner (Mar. 2000) already recognized that these two males differed from the 5 remaining males (meaning those indeed belonging to D. parvus) which match the original figures in Peckham & Peckham (1901) for D. parvus. The two males described above, however, definitely match the drawings for D. fimbriatus in Peckham & Peckham (1901)! Hence, they were separated from the series with the types of D. parvus, but with clear statement from which vial they were taken. The above mentioned explains that after our request the types of D. fimbriatus were not found by L. Leibensperger, the curator of MCZ.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFBFC17866ABFCD462D04BF0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Concerning the female sex the species C. verhaaghi sp. nov. is quite similar to C. argentinensis in general appearance of epigyne / vulva, in having very light and filmy copulatory ducts (CD) [initial section of CD as far as C. argentinensis is concerned, because of lack of secondary spermathecae (SS)!], relatively short connective ducts (main sections of CD, respectively), large primary spermathecae, very small SS (if at all present) with heads of SS arising laterally on the latter. It is possible that C. verhaaghi sp. nov. is closely related to C. argentinensis. It is diffcult to make predictions on possible relationships of C. argentinensis as far as the males are concerned. The male of this species shows quite unique characters (extremely small embolus and embolus base, bulbous tegulum, etc.). The male of C. fimbriata is at least moderately similar to C. argentinensis in having a very small embolus and a quite bulbous tegulum (T), however, T clearly shows a proximal lobe in C. fimbriata. Consequently, a relationship to C. fimbriata can neither be excluded nor unambiguously inferred from that information.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFB8C16466ABFA8061C94FE0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In the present study we describe the female of this species for the first time. It was matched with the males because it was found at exactly the same locality (spot) where the males were found. Additionally, its somatic characters and general colouration correspond well to those of the males. Corythalia luctuosa shows a few similarities to C. gasnieri sp. nov. These species share a hose-shaped embolus, a moderately long and serrated RTA and (in part of the specimens) a similar tegulum (bulbous; being almost as broad as cymbium or minimally broader). However, it is difficult to say if these few similarities indicate a closer relationship.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFA5C16766ABF8C065AC4BA8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. At arrival of the type material of Taeoma barbipes at SMNK (Apr. 2017) an additional specimen, a female, labeled as “ Paratypoid ” (also with coll. no. 1217 a) was found. In the original publication Mello-Leitão (1939, p. 90) only described and illustrated a male. Consequently, this female does not belong to the type series, even though it is possible that it once (before Mello-Leitão’s examinations) was held in the same vial as the male. It is here identified as Corythalia cf. conferta sp. nov.. Hence, the male, that was erroneously labeled “ Lectotype ” (by Lothar H. E. W. Forcart) is the only valid type specimen and has to be regarded as the holotype. There is strong inconsistency in the composition of the two type series of the species Taeoma circumflexa (Mello-Leitão, 1939) with the collection number 1216 a and Taeoma barbipes (Mello-Leitão, 1939) [coll. - no. 1217 a]. For detailed information on that and for preferred resolution to solve this see remarks under the species description of C. circumflexa. The male holotype of Taeoma barbipes was examined and recognised being conspecific with the male holotype of Makthalia cincta. Both nominal species were later transferred to Corythalia. The synonymy is justified as the male palps, the structures with highest diagnostic significance, correspond exactly in both types of these two nominal species (Figs 25 A – D, 65 E – F) (apart from the few slight differences recognised as intraspecific variation, see above). The main somatic characters, of course, also correspond in both type specimens. Corythalia cincta is unique in having a very bulbous tegulum (T), a quite long and strong embolus (E) with several special structures and a RTA strongly diverging from longitudinal axis of cymbium (angle about 55 °). In C. scutellaris Bayer, sp. nov. the E is also very long (even longer) and strong, the RTA also quite strongly diverging but the T is clearly narrower, base of E is broader and different and special structures at E are missing. Thus it remains unclear if these two species are closely related but it is possible.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFA6C16166ABFD0265AC4E28.taxon	discussion	Remarks. (A) At arrival at SMNK (Apr. 2017) the female lectotype was labelled C. cincta (Badcock, 1932) and was in vial NHMB 1200 a. It is here transferred to the syntype series of Taeoma circumflexa and subsequently designated as the lectotype of T. circumflexa. For detailed reasoning see remark (C) below! (B) At arrival at SMNK (Apr. 2017) the paralectotype male was the only specimen in the vial NHMB 1216 a holding the type series of Taeoma circumflexa. According to the original publication (Mello-Leitão 1939, p. 90, Fig. 81) there should be a female specimen in this type series, too. A female with an epigyne that clearly corresponds to the illustration of the epigyne of T. circumflexa in Mello-Leitão (1939, p. 90, Fig. 81) was found in the vial NHMB 1200 a (identified as C. cincta). Consequently, this female is here included in the syntype series of T. circumflexa and subsequently designated as the lectotype. Hence, the subadult male in the present vial is designated as the paralectotype of T. circumflexa. For detailed reasoning see remark (C) below! (C) At the time when the requested material of Corythalia from the NHMB Basel arrived at the SMNK (Apr. 2017) inconsistency in the composition of the two type series of the species Taeoma circumflexa (Mello-Leitão, 1939) with the collection number 1216 a and Taeoma barbipes (Mello-Leitão, 1939) [coll. - no. 1217 a] was recognised. Note: Taeoma was recognised as junior synonym of Corythalia by Galiano (1962). For both species the original publication listed a different number and / or composition of specimens as were in fact found in the respective vial. The vial of T. circumflexa [1216 a; with the data: Venezuela, Falcon Prov., Dr H. G. Kugler leg., deposited 1934] only held one subadult (thus immature) male. In Mello-Leitão (1939, Fig. 81), however, a female is illustrated and also mentioned in the description. In the case of the species T. barbipes according to Mello-Leitão (1939) only a male / males (the number of males examined by the author does not get clear from the original publication!) should exist, no female (s) was / were mentioned. Nevertheless, the type series was found split into two vials [both with the same collection number 1217 a]. The first vial still contained the original label written by C. Ternetz and held an adult male [Paraguay, Monte Sociedad, Dr C. Ternetz leg. 1895]. Note: another label in that vial with the notation “ Lectotypus ” was added by Lothar H. E. W. Forcart (A. Hänggi, pers. comm.). This male exactly corresponds to the illustrations in Mello-Leitão (1939) and Galiano (1962) for the species C. barbipes. The second vial held a relatively small female (body length 5.8 mm) and a label saying “ 1217 a - Paratypoid ”, which was certainly also added by Forcart. According to the original publication there is no female mentioned for C. barbipes (see above). In addition, Forcart never published any study treating the genus Corythalia. Consequently, the “ lectotype ” and “ paratype ” designations are definitely void according to the ICZN. As there was only one single male found in the type vial, this male has to be regarded as the holotype of Taeoma (currently Corythalia) barbipes. The inconsistency of both these type series (Taeoma barbipes and T. circumflexa) is certainly caused by the carelessness of Mello-Leitão himself. In his publication he sometimes listed (a) specimen (s) of one sex on top of the paragraph of the species description only with a size measurement and further below he listed (a) specimen (s) of the opposite sex with other descriptive aspects and an illustration: for Evarcha (currently Corythalia) tropica, e. g., he listed a female with the size of 7 mm on top, but below he only described and illustrated a male (the type vial contains only one male)! In addition to these two above mentioned type series a vial with a female identified as C. cincta (Badcock, 1932) by Mello-Leitão with the coll. - no. 1200 a was requested and arrived at the SMNK at the same day. It held a relatively large female with the body length of about 9.0 mm [according to the original label: Paraguay, Dr C. Ternetz leg. 1895]. Mello-Leitão (1939, p. 84) listed C. cincta but did neither mention the sex of the specimen he examined nor the locality, where it was found. After our examinations it is now obvious that he once examined this female and the female in the second vial of 1217 a (see above). One of them was scheduled for being used as a female syntype of Taeoma circumflexa. Mello- Leitão’s identification of C. cincta was certainly based on the fact that the type locality of C. cincta is only about 185 km north / northwest of Monte Sociedad, where C. Ternetz collected his spider material from Paraguay (in fact, the holotype of C. barbipes, the large female in vial 1200 a and with highest likelihood also the female of the second vial of 1217 a). Definite identification of females of C. cincta is not possible, because to date this species is only known by males. In the course of the present study the exact correspondence of the epigyne of this large female [1200 a] to the illustration in Fig. 81 in Mello-Leitão (1939) for T. circumflexa has been recognised. The size description in Mello-Leitão (1939) for C. circumflexa, however, much more corresponds to a smaller female (most likely that in the extra vial [second vial] of 1217 a?). The best way to solve this inconsistency and the only way to avoid taxonomical / nomenclatorial changes is the following: According to the structure of its epigyne the female identified as C. cincta [1200 a] by Mello-Leitão is clearly assignable to Fig. 81 in Mello-Leitão (1939) (epigyne of Taeoma circumflexa). Consequently, a definite reference of this specimen to the species name C. circumflexa is given. So this female is here added to the (syn-) type series of C. circumflexa [1216 a] and subsequently designated as the lectotype (the subadult male does not show any diagnostic characters to discriminate this species from other Corythalia species anyway). The type locality of the lectotype female of C. circumflexa is thus Monte Sociedad in Paraguay, only the paralectotype locality remains Falcon Province, Venezuela. Hence, it is very unlikely that the subadult male paralectotype and the female lectotype are conspecific. The description of the female of C. circumflexa in Mello-Leitão (1939, p. 90) rather fits to a smaller female (most likely that of the extra vial [second vial] 1217 a?). In any case, this insufficient description does only have little descriptive relevance and definitely no valuable diagnostic information and relevance anyway. For organisational reasons the female in 1217 a [which should not exist according to Mello-Leitão (1939)] is now transferred to the (meanwhile empty) vial 1200 a. It is here identified as Corythalia cf. conferta sp. nov. (D) It is possible (and well imaginable) that with the examination of more material from the above mentioned region in Paraguay the lectotype female of C. circumflexa will turn out as conspecific with C. cincta. The size-dimensions are well corresponding and particularly the type locality is the same as for the holotype of Taeoma (currently Corythalia) barbipes (even though it is also possible that the two specimens were not in the same vial before Mello-Leitão had examined them; however, it is as well possible that Mello-Leitão separated them in the course of examination). (E) C. circumflexa (if indeed an explicit species and not a junior synonym of C. cincta, see remark above) shows characters roughly similar to C. scutellaris Bayer, sp. nov. Similarities: copulatory openings quite far lateral at epigyne, arch-like structures anteriorly in vulva. It is, anyway, difficult to say if these two species are closely related.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFA3C16C66ABFF6C63E54CE4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The present new species is in part similar to C. cincta, C. circumflexa and to the species of the C. waleckii species-group (see below). Corythalia cincta shares a quite long and strong embolus with longitudinal ridges and a similar tip and a RTA strongly diverging from longitudinal axis of cymbium (angle about 50 – 55 °). Other structures, however, are different. Females of C. circumflexa are as well in parts similar to C. scutellaris Bayer, sp. nov. in having copulatory openings situated quite far lateral at epigyne and arch-like structures anteriorly in vulva. However, primary and secondary spermathecae are clearly different and connective ducts are clearly shorter. Concerning the structure of the male copulatory organ this new species shares some similarities with male representatives of the C. waleckii species-group: elongated, strong, (at least slightly) S-shaped and distally (at least inconspicuously but always recognisable) bifurcated embolus. On the other hand, the RTA is clearly more diverging from cymbium longitudinal axis and the embolus base is proximo-prolaterally clearly distinguished from the prolateral part of the tegulum. Consequently, a closer relationship between this new species and C. cincta, C. circumflexa and the species belonging to the C. waleckii species-group can neither be inferred from that information nor be excluded.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFADC16E66ABF9CC636D4F17.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The two female types were collected by G. Schmidt 1952 at the harbour in Hamburg. Several years later G. Schmidt identified them as C. dimidiata Simon, 1901. As Schmidt traced the origin of the charge (of banana fruits) as ‘ Colombia’, he must have checked the catalogues on spider literature of species known at that time, i. e. Roewer (1954 a, b) and Bonnet (1956). In these publications the land / island / region / continent of distribution is listed for each species. Schmidt might have found that C. dimidiata was the only species listed for Colombia except C. electa, which could be excluded from the further identification process because of the different dorsal colouration of the females. Note: at that time the females of C. electa were still misinterpreted; in the present study we found that the female paralectotypes were definitely misidentified, and, in fact, are C. spiralis (see under C. electa below). Corythalia dimidiata, however, is a nomen nudum, which is definitely not identifiable and recognisable (see under ‘ nomina nuda ’ below). The locality in Colombia from where the type specimens originated is most likely within the Zona Bananera south of Ciénaga (see material list above) as by far the most Colombian bananas that are exported abroad are planted in that region. As long as the conspecific male of C. dakryodes Bayer, sp. nov. remains undiscovered, it is difficult to predict possible relationships of this species. The species belonging to the C. waleckii species group (C. waleckii, C. electa, C. tropica, C. fulgipedia, C. longiducta sp. nov. and others) might be closely related as they have the following characters in common: elongated drop- or kidney-shaped secondary spermathecae, quite long connective ducts, more or less round primary spermathecae and elongated epigynal windows. However, in this new species the distal sections of the copulatory ducts are running latero-posteriorly, because of the very far anterior situated copulatory openings. At least this aspect would rather argue against a close relationship with the species of the C. waleckii species group.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFAFC16866ABF9AC63E94AA4.taxon	description	Description. Male: spination of legs: according to the illustration in Simon (1901, Fig. 776, here reproduced in Fig. 29 B), leg III would not exhibit any spines on patella, 8 short spines were laterally on tibia (in Simon (1901: fig. 776) not mentioned if retro- or prolateral view of leg III; spines arranged very close to each other) and 2 long spines laterally on metatarsus. However, it should be considered that Simon might have overseen spines or misinterpreted structures as the material he had once examined might have been in bad condition. Female: unknown.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFAFC16866ABF9AC63E94AA4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. (A) The World Spider Catalog (2020) lists this species as a nomen nudum, which probably goes back to the respective assessment of this species in Bonnet (1956). However, this is not correct (or nowadays not longer correct) for the following reasons: the only information on this species is based on two illustrations in Simon (1901, Figs 776 – 777), reproduced herein (Figs 29 A – B). Assignment of this species to Corythalia as defined herein is highly probable. The palp shows characters that are in concordance with the basic features for Corythalia. The male’s third leg was illustrated from patella on and clearly showed that tibia and metatarsus were covered with long and densely arranged fringe hairs, which is typical for Corythalia males. According to Article § 12.2.7 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) scientific names proposed before 1931 can be made available without a description in words if there is an ‘ indication’. Such an indication can be — among other things — (an) illustration (s) of the taxon being named, which is the case here. Consequently, C. sellata Simon, 1901 is considered an available species name and, moreover, a valid species (species diagnosis according to the illustration of the male palp in Simon [1901] is possible, see above). (B) The World Spider Catalog (2020) currently lists this species name with the incorrect year ‘ 1903 ’ as publication date for the first description: this listing goes back to an erroneous indication in the spider catalog of Roewer (1954 a, b) on which (among others) the World Spider Catalog is based. Roewer (1954 b, page 1104) erroneously confounded the figure numbers with the page number (s), but did not list this species name as a nomen nudum. The correct page number is 649, not 776 & 777. Simon’s work “ Histoire Naturelle des Araignees ” is an extensive study dealing with all spider families and was published in many parts with different publication dates. Platnick (2001), who established the online resource “ World Spider Catalog ” must have recognised that in Roewer (1954 b) the page numbers 776 & 777 were listed and thus changed the publication date for the species C. sellata to 1903. If the page numbers were true, the treatment (in this case the illustrations) of C. sellata would indeed have belonged to the part which was published in 1903 (Simon 1903; in the World Spider Catalog (2020) sub Simon 1903 a) (where other genera of Salticidae were treated, but not Corythalia!). However, as mentioned above, the page numbers in Roewer (1954 b) are based on a confusion. Apparently Platnick (2001) listed C. sellata as nomen nudum because of the listing in the spider catalog of Bonnet (1956, p. 1239). This catalog is also widely distributed and very often cited and therein C. sellata is definitely listed as nomen nudum. (C) Actually, for C. sellata a designation of a neotype would be highly desirable as it is virtually impossible to trace the specimen Simon (1901) once had examined — if it still exists, which is rather unlikely. However, the un- clear locality (see below) of the specimen examined by Simon (1901) and thus the unclear distributional information in general certainly complicate such a designation. (D) The leg spination (see description above) — if correctly observed by Simon, which is highly question-able — would be different from all other Corythalia species examined herein. Some of the 8 lateral spines on tibia might have been artificially observed as they were possibly confused with bunches of fringe hairs or supposed under fringe hairs, but were actually not present. The spines on dorsal and ventral surfaces were either completely missing (overseen by Simon? Or indeed absent?) or (for Simon) indistinguishable from the long fringe hairs on tibia & metatarsus. Additionally, it is unclear if Simon examined this (these) male specimen (s) at his laboratory in Paris. It is also possible, that he was somewhere abroad and did not have access to good optical equipment. These aspects leave great doubts if Simon correctly characterised the spination of leg III. (E) Assumed that the illustration of the male palp in Simon (1901) (reproduced in Fig. 29 A) is reliable, C. sellata is similar to the species of the C. waleckii species group (C. waleckii, C. electa, C. metallica, C. fulgipedia, C. foelixi Bayer, sp. nov. and others) (see below) according to the elongated, strong, (at least slightly) S-shaped embolus and the basic shape of tegulum and of RTA. Consequently, it is possible that C. sellata is closely related to these species.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

As Simon (1901) did not mention any dates about collectors or locality of the material he once had examined and also did not provide distributional information on C. sellata, it is hardly possible to infer a possible distribution area. Petrunkevitch (1911) stated Antilles as distribution area, however, this information is not confident! Lutz (1915) doubted this statement as he supposed that Petrunkevitch listed this locality just because in Simon (1901) C. sellata was listed close to Corythalia [originally sub Habrocestum] locuples and C. major, both reported from Hispaniola. But Lutz (1915) did not know about any registered and reliable records of C. sellata from the Antilles, which are, in fact, absent until today.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

Typical S-shape of embolus is minimally less distinct in several males. Proximal tegulum lobe is recognisable as such in some males but in others tegulum converging broad rounded conically in retrolatero-proximal direction. Females: lateral margins of epigynal windows not always with as many gaps as in female in Fig. 30 C, but sometimes only with few gaps (Fig. 73 C) or without gaps. Course of copulatory ducts may be (almost) transversal.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFA9C16B66ABFC0C65D34A38.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to the World Spider Catalog (2020), Mello-Leitão (1948) allegedly should have listed this species sub C. walecki (as emendation) and the World Spider Catalog (2020) still lists it under this diction. However, Mello-Leitão (1948) did list this species correctly as C. waleckii. The change to C. walecki by Platnick (2001) is not justified, because ‘ Walecki’ is a common polish name and the Latin genitive case is thus ‘ waleckii’. The species C. waleckii seems to be common and widely distributed. Several species exhibit similar basic structures of the male and female copulatory organs. Thus all these species (listed on the following pages) may be combined as the C. waleckii species-group. Males of this species-group share the following characters: (At least moderately) elongated, strong, (at least slightly) S-shaped and distally (at least inconspicuously but always recognisable) bifurcated embolus and the basic shape of tegulum (not distinctly broad or bulbous but also not distinctly elongated). Females have the following basic characters in common: elongated drop- or kidney-shaped secondary spermathecae, quite long and generally narrow connective ducts, more or less round primary spermathecae and (at least slightly) elongated (mostly oval) epigynal windows. In our opinion it is likely that these species sharing similar characters with fine gradual differences are close relatives.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFAAC11466ABFC7865194F84.taxon	discussion	Remarks. It is highly probable that the district of Acosta is the type locality of this species as H. G. Kugler, who collected the type specimen, also collected Foraminifera exactly from that region (Cushman & Renz 1941). Corythalia tropica is distinctly similar to C. waleckii. These two species are distinguished by just fine differences that may could be regarded as intraspecific variation. However, as long as there is no additional material of C. tropica available (showing variation encountering the variation spectrum of C. waleckii) we regard the fine differences (see diagnosis above) as specific and thus C. tropica as valid species and not as junior synonym of C. waleckii. Moreover, the female of C. tropica is still unknown so the potential differences in female copulatory organs cannot be considered. According to the distinct similarity, we suppose C. waleckii to be the closest relative of C. tropica.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFD5C11766ABF92C63504D34.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Conspecificity of the female specimens with the male type specimens is not for 100 % certain. The recorded locality (camp Inselberg) of the female from French Guiana is about 7 km away from camp Saut-Pararé, where the male type specimens where found. Conspecificity of that female with the male type specimens is thus not 100 % certain, but, anyway quite likely because of the near distance. Additionally, all somatic characters and the size-dimensions correspond well to each other, consequently, the female from French Guiana is matched with the male types.

According to the typical basic characters shared with the other representatives of the C. waleckii species group this new species is highly likely closely related to these species.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFD6C11366ABFB8E62A94DE8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is, like C. waleckii, widespread over the northern part of South America. It was synonymised with C. tropica by Galiano (1962). There is no indiaction that Galiano once did re-examine the type material of C. fulgipedia or other material examined by Crane (1948). For the present study a lot of material from the Crane (1948) study was re-examined. We recognised several fine, but specific differences in the males of C. fulgipedia in comparison to those of C. waleckii or C. tropica, thus we do not follow the opinion of Galiano (1962). The same concerns the copulatory organs of the females (of C. waleckii; remark: those of C. tropica are still unknown). With the present study based on many specimens well documented by several illustrations and statements on intraspecific variation, we could prove that C. fulgipedia is a valid species. It is more similar to C. waleckii than to C. tropica. But even C. waleckii, being stunningly similar to C. tropica, can be distinguished from the latter by fine differences (see both diagnosis in the present study). Galiano (1962) seemingly had not examined the details of embolus morphology. She possibly thought that a bifurcated embolus tip might be a unique character exhibited by only one species in the genus Corythalia. It is difficult to evaluate which species also belonging to the C. waleckii species-group might be the closest relative of C. fulgipedia. Fact is, that the following three species, C. electa, C. chalcea and C. metallica are similar in having an embolus that is hardly S-shaped. As far as the females are concerned, C. waleckii is very similar (from C. electa and C. metallica the females are still unknown). As mentioned above, the types (holotype male and paratype female) could not be found at the arachnid collection of the AMNH, where actually all Crane-material should have been transferred since the Department of Tropical research of the New York Zoological Society no longer existed or its collections no longer existed, respectively. That same problem concerns the two other Corythalia species firstly described by Crane (1948), C. chalcea and C. xanthopa (see below). We also contacted curators of other American natural history museums, e. g. USNM, PMNH or MCZ, if (parts of) the Crane material ended up there, but not one responsible curator could find material belonging to the Crane collection in their collections. So, we guess that the type material, if still existing, might still be at the AMNH, but located in / among parts of the (Crane-) collection, where nobody would expect it. Additional material of C. fulgipedia (remark: as well as additional material of C. chalcea and C. xanthopa) from the type locality, Rancho Grande, examined by Crane (see above), was kindly sent to us on loan by the colleagues of the AMNH. This material was once not well organised by J. Crane (and / or collaborators?): sometimes structures of two different or even all three different Corythalia species (described by Crane 1948), e. g. epigynes or chelicerae, were put together in one vial with dubious notes to discriminate them. Moreover, in several cases vials were not precisely labelled. In a few cases specimens were misidentified: one male among the material of C. fulgipedia could here be identified as C. blanda (see respective species description below). Additionally, we found one vial with a small male with a (field-? / sample-?) number P 16, which was not mentioned in the publication, within a jar containing many specimens of C. xanthopa. This male specimen was labeled as “ holotype ”, but no label with a species name was added. After examination we could identify it as Corythalia cf. placata Peckham & Peckham, 1901 (see respective species description above). All this carelessness of J. Crane (and / or collaborators?) might be a reason why the types currently cannot be found, they might even be among the material examined here, but not labelled as types. We would strongly appreciate if the types were found in the future and could be re-examined, but for the moment, we think it is a good compromise that the additional specimens from the type locality (Rancho Grande) that were determinated by J. Crane herself, were re-examined and treated thoroughly. Some of these specimens had even been used as samples / templates for illustrations or measurements in Crane (1948). Needless to say that all the specimens (except for the few misidentified specimens, see above) examined for the present study exactly corresponded to the according illustration of the male palp or the female epigyne / vulva in Crane (1948) of C. fulgipedia.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFD2C11D66ABFAC865804F2C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. As mentioned above the two female paralectotypes of Escambia electa are not conspecific with the male lectotype. After the examination of C. spiralis (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1901) material from a certain locality in Brazil, where males and females were found together, we were able to definitely assign a female form of Corythalia to the male C. spiralis (see also species description of C. spiralis below). The female types of E. electa correspond exactly to this form, meaning these females could be definitely identified as C. spiralis. As the latter species shows a totally different basic structure in male and female copulatory organs, it is obvious that C. electa (the male lectotype can clearly be recognised as representative of the C. waleckii species-group) and C. spiralis belong to completely different species-groups. The female paralectotypes of E. electa clearly show the basic characters that are typical for the C. opima species-group (including also C. spiralis; characteristics of this species-group, see below under species description of C. opima). Hence, even though it would not have been possible to definitely identify the female paralectotypes (for example: assumed, they were belonging to an undescribed species slightly different from C. spiralis and C. opima but would, anyway, clearly show the basic characters of the C. opima group), it would have been obvious for reasons of interfering character states of two different species groups in one and the same type series. The following two previous publications already would have given rise to doubts that the type series of E. electa was monotypic: Crane (1948) had examined lots of males and females of C. fulgipedia and C. chalcea, all recorded at the same locality in Venezuela. Both species belonging to the C. waleckii species-group. The males of these species are strikingly similar to C. electa. The females, however, show the basic characters typical for those of the C. waleckii species-group which are strikingly different to those of the C. opima species-group shared by the female paralectotypes of Escambia electa. Chickering (1946) was the first who described and illustrated females of C. spiralis. His illustrations of the female epigyne and vulva (Chickering 1946, Figs 143 – 144) clearly show the basic characters of the C. opima species-group. The characters are also shared by the female paralectotypes of E. electa (which are meanwhile definitely identified as C. spiralis, see above). The males of C. spiralis, however, are distinctly different from the male lectotype of C. electa by having a much longer and slimmer RTA, elongated tegulum and a helical embolus with at least 1.3 windings around embolus base, which is typical for the C. opima species-group (see below). As mentioned in the remark above C. electa is clearly assignable to the C. waleckii species-group. Consequently, it is very likely that the other species of that species-group are close relatives of C. electa. Especially C. chalcea is strikingly similar to C. electa in having a relatively narrow and only moderately long embolus, a moderately broad embolus base and a sperm duct occupying at most the retrolateral 2 / 3 of the tegulum with its loops. We would not exclude that C. chalcea is actually a junior synonym of C. electa. However, without further material of C. electa available we, for now, consider the very fine differences in palp morphology (see above) (that might as well could be regarded as intraspecific variation by other authors) diagnostic and thus specific. Consequently, for now, we consider C. chalcea a valid species. Zhang & Maddison (2015: 44, Figs 27 – 33, 649) showed illustrations of males and females they had identified as C. electa (material originated from Ecuador). After comparison with the male lectotype of C. electa it becomes obvious that they had misidentified their material. It is highly likely that they actually dealt with a species not yet described and named. For us the male and female copulatory organs shown in their figures are not assignable to any currently described Corythalia species.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFDCC11866ABF97462564E70.taxon	discussion	Remarks. As mentioned above and like in the case of the species C. fulgipedia, also firstly described by Crane, the types (holotype male and paratype female) could not be found in the arachnid collection of the AMNH, where actually all Crane-material should have been deposited since the Department of Tropical research of the New York Zoological Society no longer existed or its collections no longer existed, respectively. See remark under the species description of C. fulgipedia for further details about possible causes for the possible loss of the types, etc. We would highly welcome if the types were found some day in the future and could be re-examined, but for the present study we think it is a good compromise that the additional specimens from the type locality (Rancho Grande) that were determinated by J. Crane herself, were here thoroughly re-examined and illustrated / measured / characterised. Some of these specimens were even used as samples / templates for illustrations or measurements in Crane (1948). It goes without saying that all the specimens examined in the course of the present study exactly corresponded to each illustration of the male palp or the female epigyne / vulva in Crane (1948) for C. chalcea. Within the C. waleckii species-group C. electa might be the closest relative of C. chalcea. This species is strikingly similar in having a relatively narrow and only moderately long embolus, a moderately broad embolus base and a sperm duct occupying at most the retrolateral 2 / 3 of the tegulum with its loops. We would not even exclude that C. chalcea is actually a junior synonym of C. electa. However, without further material of C. electa available we, for now, consider the very fine differences in palp morphology (see above) diagnostic and thus specific. Additionally, the females of C. electa are still unkown. So, for now, we consider C. chalcea a valid species.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

Posterior margin of epigyne in female SMNK-ARA 02858 (Fig. 73 I) slightly further reaching beyond epigastric furrow than in holotype (Figs 37 A, 73 H). Female SMNK-ARA 02858 having (at least slight) connection of both anterior margins of epigynal windows (AMW) (to be more precise, the strongly converging final sections of the lateral margins of W, anterior to the anteriormost section of the septum, because the AMW is not continuous in this species) (Fig. 73 I), whereas holotype showing clear gap antero-medially (Figs 37 A, 73 H). Distance over both secondary spermathecae (SS) (from lateral margin to lateral margin) in holotype longer than distance over both primary spermathecae (PS) (Figs 37 A, 73 H), in female SMNK- ARA 02858 situation vice versa, because connective ducts running almost parallel and medially almost in contact with each other (not in a narrow V-shape like in holotype) and SS being slightly shorter than in holotype. Additional difference concerning shape of connective ducts: in holotype minimally curved sections recognisable (Figs 37 A, 73 H), in other female ducts regularly straight (Fig. 73 I).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFD8C11A66ABFF6C658A4C54.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Concerning the structure of the female copulatory organ C. longiducta sp. nov. might be closely related to C. waleckii, C. foelixi Bayer, sp. nov. and C. fulgipedia. At least these are the most similar species within the C. waleckii species-group. They share not only the elongated epigynal windows and the elongated drop- to kidney-shaped secondary spermathecae, but especially the narrow and long connective ducts. Regarding the structure of the epigyne alone C. waleckii, C. fulgipedia and C. longiducta sp. nov. are nearly indistinguishable. Nevertheless, as long as the males of this species remain unknown these predictions have to be treated with caution.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFDBC10466ABFA5665984BF7.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype male from St. Vincent had been designated as “ type ” by Peckham & Peckham (1894), which is equivalent to holotype, whereas the male from Mustique had been designated as “ co-type ”, which is equivalent to paratype. Within the C. waleckii species-group C. metallica is most similar to C. chalcea and C. electa. All these species have a comparatively narrow embolus that is, if at all, minimally S-shaped, a spermduct occupying at most the retrolateral 2 / 3 of tegulum and a palpal tibia which is about as long as broad or even longer. It is well imaginable that these species are (quite) closely related to C. metallica. Corythalia metallica is the last species that we consider belonging to the C. waleckii species-group. In our opinion all species following below do not belong to this particular species-group.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFC5C10766ABFCB062244BA8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The type series of Dynamius blandus (MCZ 20545) turned out to be polytypic and included three different species of males and two different species of females. Consequently, the designation of a lectotype was indispensable. The female here designated as lectotype corresponds exactly to the drawing of Dynamius blandus in Peckham & Peckham (1901, pl. 25, fig. 9). The illustrations of the male palps (pl. 25, figs 9 a – b) are from retrolateral and from dorsal view and do hardly show any diagnostic characters. So it would have been a bad decision to designate a male as lectotype. Five males and one female could be identified as C. waleckii without any doubt (see respective species description above). One male was clearly smaller than the remaining eight ones. This male, additionally, showed a different dentition at the promargin of the cheliceral base. Its size and cheliceral dentition corresponded well to the female lectotype of C. placata. Accordingly, it is here described as the male of C. placata (see respective species description above). The three remaining males are certainly of one and the same species. As they could be clearly distinguished from the males of C. waleckii and corresponded well to the size-dimension and the dentition on the promargin of the cheliceral base of the female lectotype of C. blanda these three males are most likely conspecific with the female lectotype of C. blanda. They are here described as males of C. blanda and one of them certainly had been used as sample for the drawings in figs 9 a – b in Peckham & Peckham (1901). Unfortunately, Peckham & Peckham (1901) did not provide an illustration with ventral view on the palp. However, the RTA in their fig. 9 a resembles much more that of the three males mentioned above than that of C. waleckii or that of C. placata. The inconsistency of the type series of Dynamius blandus was already recognised by G. Bodner (who added a label with her point of view during an examination in Mar. 2000). Corythalia blanda might be related to C. xanthopa as the following basic characters are similar: embolus (E) retrolaterally clearly protruding from embolus base (EB) and running in a long and wide curve prolatero-distally; retrolateral margin of EB in ventral view recognisable; proximal section of tegulum similar; RTA quite long and slim. Regarding the female genital morphological characters a close relationship to C. xanthopa cannot be inferred: epigynal windows with clearly different structure; Vulva with primary spermatheca being larger than secondary and connective ducts between both spermathecae without helical curve at central section in C. xanthopa and vice versa in C. blanda.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

Opisthosoma like noted in genus description under general dorsal colouration, however, entire opisthosoma covered by light scale hairs and transversal light bands relatively narrow, posteriormost band medially clearly interrupted, central band without chevron patch centrally (Fig. 59 E). Consider that in living spider entire opisthosoma might appear light beige because of dense covering with light scale hairs.

LEG FORMULA: 4321, 4312, 3412, 3421. COPULATORY ORGAN: epigyne with more or less oval epigynal windows (W) but anterior margins of W with distinct gap; septum of W moderately broad and anteriorly slightly diverging (Figs 40 C, 74 B); epigynal field broader than long; primary (PS) and especially secondary spermathecae (SS), visible through cuticle of epigyne, PS filling proximal 1 / 2 of W from posterior (Figs 40 C, 74 B). Vulva with medium-sized, round to sac-shaped PS; SS not only narrower than PS but also just slightly broader than connective ducts (DST) between SS and PS; heads of spermathecae arising posterolaterally (Figs 40 D – E, 78 D); copulatory ducts medium-sized and with transversal lateral to antero-lateral direction; DST broad, especially at initial section, meeting PS (postero-) medio-ventrally; fertilisation ducts narrow, arising medio-anteriorly on PS, bent laterally (Figs 40 D – E, 78 D).

Intraspecific variation of male and female copulatory organs. In some males embolus protruding even more retrolaterally and retrolatero-proximal ending of tegulum (T) rather rounded (Fig. 66 F) than in others (Fig. 40 A) where retrolatero-proximal ending of T might show a minimal bulge retrolaterally. In some specimens embolus at very distal section with minimal curve distally (Fig. 40 A). Epigyne of some females may showing anterior margins of epigynal windows (W) running posteriorly medially, shortly before reaching each other, then running parallel, almost touching each other, for a little distance until running out in the anterior section of septum (Fig. 74 B). Septum in some specimens slightly narrower (Fig. 74 B) than in others (Figs 40 C). Connective ducts (DST) between secondary and primary spermathecae (PS) in some females reaching further posteriorly before turning laterally to meet PS (Figs 40 D – E) than in others (Figs 78 D). Accordingly, in some females DST (seemingly) slightly longer (Fig. 40 D) than in others (Fig. 78 D).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFC6C10266ABFD0862564DA0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. As mentioned above and like in the cases of the species C. fulgipedia and C. chalcea as well, also firstly described by Crane, the types (holotype male and paratype female) could not be found at the arachnid collection of the AMNH, where actually all Crane material should have been deposited since the Department of Tropical research of the New York Zoological Society no longer existed or its collections no longer existed, respectively. See remark under the species description of C. fulgipedia for further details about possible causes for the possible loss of the types, etc. As long as the types cannot be found and re-examined, we find that for the present study the following proceeding it is a good compromise: the re-examination and illustration / measurement / characterisation of the additional specimens from the type locality (Rancho Grande) that were determinated by J. Crane herself. Some of these specimens were even used as samples / templates for illustrations or measurements in Crane (1948). It goes without saying that all the specimens examined in the course of the present study exactly corresponded to each illustration of the male palp or the female epigyne / vulva in Crane (1948) for C. xanthopa. Corythalia xanthopa might be related to C. blanda as the following basic characters are similar: embolus (E) retrolaterally clearly protruding from embolus base (EB) and running in a long and wide curve prolatero-distally; retrolateral margin of EB in ventral view recognisable; similar proximal section of tegulum; RTA quite long and slim. However, regarding the female genital morphological characters a close relationship to C. blanda cannot be inferred: epigynal windows with clearly different structure; Vulva with primary spermatheca being larger than secondary and connective ducts between both spermathecae without helical curve at central section in C. xanthopa and vice versa in C. blanda.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

Male: detailed description and measurement data not available as Galiano (1962) only provided a general summarised description and Mello-Leitão (1940) did only provide very few valuable descriptive data. Body length [according to Mello-Leitão (1940)]: 5.5. Copulatory organ (after illustrations in Galiano 1962): embolus (E) short [shorter than width of tegulum (T)], and in ventral view proximally slightly more than 2.5 x broader than centrally (Fig. 42 A); T clearly narrower than cymbium (Fig. 42 A); sperm duct possibly double-stacked S-shaped (even though not entirely recognisable in Galiano 1962, Figs 11 – 12), occupying about 3 / 4 of T from retrolateral; proximal tegulum lobe distinguished (by a small incision) from remaining section of T and very broad; cymbium (CY) in ventral view distally conically converging, at distalmost section almost ovoid; CY with a flat, rounded “ corner ” retrolatero-distally (unlike in many other Corythalia species); palpal tibia not distinctly short, about as long as broad (Figs 42 A – B) and ventral tibial bump not recognisable (overseen by Galiano 1962?); RTA in ventral view mediumsized, with retrolatero-distal direction and with dorsal serration but only at distal 1 / 4 (Fig. 42 A), in retrolateral view distinct dorsal serration of RTA recognisable only at tip (Fig. 42 B). COLOURATION: according to the description in Galiano (1962) in accordance with the general description (transversal light bands dorsally on opisthosoma, etc., see genus description).

03D88781FFCDC10C66ABFF0A65854EDB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The male holotype was requested at NHM, however, it was not found there (J. Beccaloni, pers. comm.). It is possible that it has not yet returned from a former loan or that it was accidently sorted back incorrectly after the return. Hence, it can possibly be found in the future. Consequently, for the present study there was no other way as to reproduce and re-evaluate the illustrations and descriptions in Galiano (1962), which appear to be quite detailed and helpful. Assumed Galiano (1962) had not forgotten any important details in her illustrations of the male palp of C. ursina and the proportions were exact, C. ursina would be similar to C. hadzji. The males of both species share a quite short embolus (E), continuously converging from proximal to distal section, an embolus base located more or less centrally at distal section of tegulum, a similar RTA with dorsal serration only at distal 1 / 4 and a similar flat, rounded “ corner ” retrolatero-distally at cymbium. Hence, C. hadzji might be a close relative of C. ursina. However, assumed, that Galiano (1962) oversaw important details the reliability of this prediction is poor (e. g. a retrolateral light, slender and long process distally at embolus; assumed, Galiano’s optical equipment did not have sufficient resolution or hairs were not removed from the margin of the cymbium or the distal part of palpal tibia and covered important structures, it is well imaginable that she had overseen or misinterpreted one or another structure). Additionally, it cannot be excluded that Galiano (1962) once did not draw in exact ventral view (maybe slightly shifted distally?). Moreover, it is questionable if she used a camera lucida that enabled her to draw in exact proportions. If all this is taken in consideration it is even possible that C. hadzji is conspecific with C. ursina and thus a junior synonym. To finally answer this question the type of C. ursina has to be re-examined. Hopefully it will be tracked in the future.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFCCC10F66ABFB5463BC4BF0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. An additional male type (paralectotype) from the same locality / collection event as listed for the lectotype exists and was originally in the same vial together with the lectotype (MZUF 587). In vial MZUF 588 (Conwarook, Romiti leg.) there should actually be only one male according to the original publication (Caporiacco 1947). However, at arrival at SMNK (Apr. 2018), two males were found in MZUF 588 that were still labeled as “ Syntypi ”. The paralectotype male that originated from vial MZUF 587 must have been transferred to the vial MZUF 588 without any remark / labelling. Hence, it remains unclear which paralectotype male came from which of the two localities mentioned above. Corythalia hadzji is similar to C. ursina in having a quite short embolus (E) continuously converging from proximal to distal section, an embolus base located more or less centrally at distal section of tegulum, a similar RTA with dorsal serration only at distal 1 / 4 and a similar flat, rounded “ corner ” retrolatero-distally at cymbium. Accordingly, C. ursina might be closely related to C. hadzji. However, the reliability of this prediction depends strongly on the reliability of the illustrations of the male plap of C. ursina in Galiano (1962). The holotype of C. ursina was not available for the present study and the illustration in Mello-Leitão (1940) is not very helpful as it is very small and only shows retrolateral perspective. Assumed, Galiano (1962) had not forgotten (overseen) or misinterpreted any important details and the proportions were exact our prediction might come close to reality.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFCBC13466ABFAC8624C48D0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The origin of the holotype male and the additional male from one (or two) of the provinces Guayas, Los Ríos or El Oro in Ecuador is highly likely for the following reason: More than 95 % of the Ecuadorian bananas exported abroad are planted in regions belonging to these three provinces. Some of the characters typical for C. trochophora Bayer, sp. nov. and C. lineata Bayer, sp. nov. can be found in C. hamulifera Bayer, sp. nov. as well: semicircle course of embolus (E) retrolateral to embolus base (EB); (almost) round and long EB located almost centrally at distal part of tegulum; prescence of a retrolatero-distal extension on E. According to these similarities a relationship between these three species is possible.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFF5C13566ABFDD0655B4C9C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Among the currently known Corythalia species, C. valida, without any doubt, is most similar to C. tribulosa sp. nov. Several crucial structures of the palp are very similar: embolus (E) quite broad and strong, centrally with apophyses (three in C. valida, two in C. tribulosa sp. nov.); similar distal section of E; tegulum without distinguished proximal lobe, but broad rounded proximally; slender RTA with (at least slight) bending ventrally. Consequently, we expect a close relationship between these two species.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

Vulva with medium-sized, round (to sac-shaped) PS; SS (slightly) narrower than PS; connective ducts (DST) between SS and PS narrow (at most slightly broader than 1 / 5 the diameter of PS) and straight, meeting PS medio-ventrally; heads of spermathecae very flat, arising postero-laterally (Figs 48 D – E, 78 E); copulatory ducts very short, with (initially anterior, then) lateral direction; fertilisation ducts at distal section narrow, proximally, however, quite broad (about 1 / 3 – 1 / 2 the width of PS) arising anteriorly on PS, bent laterally (Figs 48 D – E, 78 E). COLOURATION: (Paralectotypes bleached, but general colouration still recognisable) See genus description for conservative aspects. Carapace red-brown, lateral margins of proximal sections without densely arranged light scale hairs (Fig. 63 E). Legs red-brown, except for several articles (see genus description) being slightly lighter (Fig. 63 E). Opisthosoma actually like noted in genus description under general dorsal colouration, however, central transversal light band just moderately broad; chevron-like patch in central band missing; posterior band medially interrupted (Fig. 63 E). Intraspecific variation. Additional ridges at the area of copulatory openings running slightly less steep in female paralectotype F- 2 (Fig. 48 C) than in F- 1 (Fig. 48 F). Primary spermathecae [visible through cuticle of epigynal windows (W)] in paralectotype F- 1 even more “ shifted ” anteriorly and not exactly in central third of W (Fig. 48 F), secondary spermathecae in F- 1 also visible further anteriorly than in F- 2.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFF4C13066ABFA04654A4DC5.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The male lectotype, as well as two female paralectotypes (here designated), were at arrival at SMNK (Apr. 2015) found within a vial containing the original type label of Dynamius fimbriatus (MCZ 21310). They must have been erroneously put there, as D. fimbriatus was described on the base of two males only. Additionally, the three specimens listed above exactly match the original figures for Escambia valida in Peckham & Peckham (1901). The types of D. fimbriatus have apparently simultaneously been taken away and put into the vial with the types of D. parvus. The original label of the types of E. valida as well as the third female type specimen (here designated as paralectotype) cannot be found at the moment (Laura Leibensperger, pers. comm.). Conspecificity of the female paralectotypes with the male lectotype is not 100 % sure, but highly probable. At first, it is likely that the male and the two females were once found at the same locality within the Amazonas state. Secondly, male and female type specimens corroborate in colouration by the missing of the densely arranged light scale hairs at lateral margins of the proximal carapace. The strong / broad and complex embolus (having apophyses and longitudinal ridges) with distal section having long, light and very slender extension disto-retrolaterally and small to tiny, very flat conical process prolaterally, the proximal tegulum shape (rounded; proximal lobe as such missing) and the (long) slender RTA with almost distal direction are similar to those in C. flagrans sp. nov. and C. tribulosa sp. nov. A close relationship between these three species is thus likely. A very close relationship might exist to C. tribulosa sp. nov. (see remark under C. tribulosa sp. nov. above). According to the copulatory organs females show at least slight resemblance to the females of the C. waleckii species-group. However, it is difficult to assess if there is a closer relationship to those species.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

LEG FORMULA: 4312 (4321). COPULATORY ORGAN: epigyne with slightly elongated oval epigynal windows (W), anterior margins continuous, but lateral margins having distinct gaps; W in central section transversally divided by a ridge (running out medially; transversal division medially still recognisable by colour difference between anterior and posterior half of W) (Figs 50 C, 74 D – F); septum of W quite broad (almost 1 / 3 the width of W) and anteriorly and posteriorly slightly diverging (Figs 50 C, 74 D – F); epigynal field slightly broader than long (Figs 50 C, 74 D – F). Vulva with medium-sized, round primary spermathecae (PS), almost touching each other medially; secondary spermathecae absent (or at least not recognisable as such, Figs 50 D, 78 A – C); copulatory ducts extraordinarily long, narrow, with many windings, especially proximally, and surrounding primary spermathecae from anterior, lateral, posterior and ventral direction, meeting PS medio-ventrally; heads of spermathecae absent (or that inconspicuous that not recognisable?) (Figs 50 D – E, 78 A – C); fertilisation ducts relatively narrow, arising anterocentrally (to antero-medially) on PS, bent laterally (Figs 50 D – E, 78 A – C). COLOURATION: see genus description for conservative aspects. Carapace (dark) red-brown (Fig. 63 F), behind posterior eye row with several patches of densely arranged light scale hairs (the latter not only sparsely distributed like in most other Corythalia species but not as densely arranged as in conspecific males). Legs light brown to red-brown, except for several articles being even lighter (see genus description) (Fig. 63 F). Opisthosoma dorsally dark brown with three light beige transverse bands and light bordering (bordering especially broad at anterior (- lateral) third of opisthosoma), all bands not broad or even narrow (Fig. 63 F); anteriormost band broadest, centrally with curve and in connection with a longitudinal, medial light patch in anterior half of opisthosoma, central transversal band narrow, slightly zigzagged and posterior of which three (rarely four) light chevrons getting continuously smaller, third transversal band also narrow but medially separated (Fig. 63 F). Opisthosoma ventrally light brown to beige. Intraspecific variation of male and female copulatory organs. Males with slight variation concerning width of tegulum (T): paratype SMNK-ARA 02232 (Fig. 67 E): T (in relation to width of cymbium) slightly narrower than in remaining paratypes. Subtegulum slightly more protruding underneath prolateral margin of T in 2237 - 1 (Fig. 67 G) than in others. In male 2237 - 2 proximal lobe (Fig. 67 H) of T slightly broader than in paratypes shown in Figs 50 A and 67 E – G. Females: transversal ridge- or border-like structure in epigynal window (W) in paratype SMNK- ARA 02229 (Fig. 74 F) slightly further shifted posteriorly than in holotype and remaining paratypes. Gap in lateral margins of W in paratype 2233 (Fig. 74 E) slightly larger than in holotype and remaining paratypes. Additionally, in 2233 course of transversal ridge-like structure not exactly transversal, but slightly diagonal in one half (Fig. 74 E), not so in holotype and remaining paratypes (Figs 50 C, 74 D, F). In paratype 2229 (Fig. 78 B) copulatory duct slightly shorter than in other females and hairpin-like loop of copulatory duct posterior of primary spermathecae with more diagonal orientation. Distance between posterior margin of primary spermathecae and hairpin-like loop of copulatory duct in paratype 2235 (Fig. 78 C) longer than in holotype and remaining paratypes (Figs 50 D, 44 A – B).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFF3C13D66ABFD2C651E4D10.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In having a membranous lamella at embolus and a very broad proximal tegular lobe males of this species (clearly) differ from other Corythalia species. Hence, a prediction on possible relationships with other Corythalia species is currently quite difficult. The colouration pattern of the carapace and especially the opisthosoma, however, resembles that of C. metallica. Predictions on a close relationship between these two species only based on similar colouration are in our opinion not justified. Females are even more unique in apparently having no secondary spermthecae, no spermathecal heads and an extremely long copulatory duct.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFFEC13866ABFF6C63604F2C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The male holotype was examined by the third author in 1996 at MZUSP. The type specimen was once not available for loan (and thus could not be re-examined in the labs of SMNK, Karlsruhe, Germany). However, a schematic illustration was made at MZUSP and the third author can guarantee that the specimens from Amazonas and Paraná examined herein correspond exactly to the holotype, in other words these specimens unambiguously belong to this species. C. vervloeti is unique in having the following characters: extremely long embolus; large and prominent embolus base located retrolatero-centrally at distal section of tegulum; somewhat depressed tegulum with clearly depressed spermduct; very broad RTA. Due to these unique characters / character states, the position of C. vervloeti within the genus Corythalia is currently very difficult to assess.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

Males distinguished from those of all other Corythalia species by the following characters in combination: embolus (E) very long [slightly longer than 2 x the width of tegulum (T)] and main section filiform; beginning at arising point from embolus base (EB) E with more than 1.3 but less than 1.5 windings around EB; E in ventral view proximally at arising point at least 10 x broader than in distal third (Figs 53 A, 67 K); RTA very long and extremely narrow (spine-like) (1.3 – 1.5 x longer than width of T) (Figs 53 A – B, 67 K, 70 K). Females distinguished from those of all other Corythalia species by the following characters in combination: epigyne without epigynal windows, but with a rather spiral-like or helical structure (Figs 53 C, 74 G). Vulva without secondary spermathecae (at least not recognisable as widened chamber); primary spermathecae (PS) just slightly widened and distinctly elongated; vulva with elongated blind sac laterally next to PS (Figs 53 D – E, 78 F), blind sac shorter and narrower than PS (rarely not narrower, however, at most as broad as PS); copulatory duct very long (about as long as width of entire epigyne) (Figs 53 D, 78 F).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

Intraspecific variation of male copulatory organs. Concerning male copulatory organ shape and width of proximal tegulum lobe (PTL) with noteworthy variation (sometimes about 2 / 3 the width of tegulum (T), sometimes even 3 / 4; sometimes PTL in proximal third (near proximal ending) with lateral bulges and even broader than further distally); additionally width of embolus base (EB) with slight variation (sometimes just minimally more than 1 / 4, sometimes almost 2 / 5 the width of T) and gap between proximal section of embolus and (prolatero-) distal section of EB in some specimens slightly larger than in others. Lectotype male exhibiting a tiny and extremely narrow apohysis dorsally at subdistal section of RTA (Fig. 53 B) being absent in all other males of C. opima examined in the present study. Even paratype male (originating from the same locality as holotype) only showing a very small bulge dorsally at subdistal section of RTA. Consequently, such a tiny side-apohysis might appear in males of C. opima, but very rarely. Females: in some specimens copulatory duct slightly longer than in others; followingly orientation of primary spermathecae and blind sacs also with variation (sometimes not as longitudinal as in others but rather diagonal).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFF9C12466ABF97464344888.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Corythalia opima is very similar to C. spiralis. Males have in common: long, filiform and spiralshaped embolus; small embolus base; very long and spine-like RTA; quite elongated tegulum. Females: epigyne without epigynal windows (as present in most other Corythalia species) but with helical or spiral-like structure; vulva with additional blind sacs next to primary spermathecae (PS); PS narrow and longitudinally elongated. These two species are certainly closely related. Formally, these two species might be united as representatives of the C. opima species-group.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

LEG FORMULA: 4312. COPULATORY ORGAN: epigyne without epigynal windows but with helical or spiral-like structure on each side (of imaginal longitudinal axis of body) with copulatory opening centrally (Figs 54 C, 55 A, 74 H); posterior margin of helical structure not reaching epigastric furrow; anterior sections of secondary spermathecae (SS) visible through cuticle of epigyne, anterior of each helical structure; epigynal field broader than long (Figs 54 C, 55 A, 74 H). Vulva with widened SS (but not distinctly) with rounded anterior margin and straight posterior margin; heads of spermathecae very small, flat and inconspicuous (but generally recognisable) and located antero-laterally or centro-laterally on SS (Figs 54 D – E, 78 G – H); primary spermathecae (PS) narrow [just slightly broader than copulatory duct (CD) or connective duct (DST) between SS and PS] and distinctly elongated, sometimes curved; DST quite long (about 2 x as long as PS), not distinctly narrow and meeting PS and blind sac (BS) from posterior; CD moderately long, running anteriorly and meeting SS postero-laterally (Figs 54 D – E, 55 B – C, 78 G – H); fertilisation ducts (very) narrow, arising antero-centrally (at tip) on PS, bent laterally (Figs 54 D – E, 55 B – C, 78 G – H); BS located lateral (but not directly) to PS; BS longer (rarely just minimally longer) and broader than PS and generally reaching further anteriorly than PS (Figs 54 D – E, 55 B – C, 78 G – H). COLOURATION: see genus description for conservative aspects. Carapace red-brown (Fig. 63 H). Legs brown to red-brown, unicoloured (Fig. 63 H), third and fourth leg pair rarely slightly lighter than anterior two leg pairs. Opisthosoma like noted in genus description under general dorsal colouration, however, central transversal band very bright, just moderately broad (mostly narrower than in C. opima) and centrally mostly interrupted (if not interrupted, with extremly narrow section medially, connecting the two broader sections “ approaching ” fom lateral); chevron-like patch in central band missing (Fig. 63 H); posterior band similarly narrow or narrower than central band and always separated / interrupted medially (Fig. 63 H). Intraspecific variation of male and female copulatory organs. Some males with distal section of embolus (E) directed prolaterally (or even proximo-prolaterally); number of windings around EB varying from 1.55 to 1.8.

03D88781FFE5C12166ABFE28637A48D0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Conspecificity of the females presented in the present study with the male lectotype of Corythalia (originally sub Sidusa) spiralis is certain. That material was available from localities where males corresponding to the lectotype were collected together with females here presented as C. spiralis (see above). But also Chickering (1946) correctly identified C. spiralis and examined material from Panama where both females and males were available from exactly the same locality. Thus he was the first to describe the female of C. spiralis. In this context an irregularity should be addressed: Chickering (1946, p. 158, second paragraph from bottom and 162, second para- graph) lists one of these females as “ allotype ” and others as “ paratypes ”. These “ type designations ” are, of course, void according to the ICZN as this material does not belong to the material examined along with the first description by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge (1901). The material examined by Chickering (even though being of great importance) does not at all have type status. Corythalia spiralis is very similar to C. opima. The main similarities between these two species are listed above (under remarks in the species description of C. opima). A lot of misidentifications of C. spiralis as C. opima (see above) were certainly the consequence of this great similarity. Hence, these two species are certainly closely related and might be united as representatives of the C. opima species-group.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFE3C12366ABFF1462784888.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The assessment of C. variegata as a nomen dubium by Ruiz & Brescovit (2008) is absolutely justified and will definitely not change anymore. Even, if the juvenile male holotype would be found in the future, it would be impossible to define this species, as the male copulatory organ is not developed in this specimen. A definite discrimination of Corythalia species, however, is not possible without the examination of copulatory organs of adult specimens. The present study has shown that colouration patterns, if at all, may help distinguish certain groups of species, but definitely not to recognise a particular species. Additionally, a certain degree of variation in coloura- tion is recognisable among different specimens of most species and especially the colouration of the opisthosoma depends on the nutritional state or the maturity of females (i. e. state of the oogenesis). Moreover, Crane (1948) had found out that the colouration of juvenile specimens often differ from that of adults. In French Guiana several other Corythalia species occur, e. g. C. waleckii, C. luctuosa, C. spiralis, C. foelixi Bayer, sp. nov., C. fulgipedia. It is not to exclude that the juvenile type of C. variegata is conspecific with one of these species. In any case, as the type specimen is juvenile, it is impossible to discriminate C. variegata from other Corythalia species based on the description and the illustration (Fig. 67) in Caporiacco (1954).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFE2C12C66ABF8B0640348F4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Simon (1901) listed this “ species ” together with Corythalia [at that time sub Habrocestum] locuples Simon (1888) (see below), so it once must have been collected in the same locality as C. locuples (Santo Domingo, Hispaniola). A description does neither exist under the genus name Habrocestum nor under Corythalia. Additionally, (a) type (s) was / were never designated and deposited. Accordingly, a characterisation of C. major is impossible and the invalid status as a nomen nudum is justified. In the context of the first description of Anasaitis [formerly temporarily in Habrocestum and Corythalia] locuples Simon (1888) seemingly mentioned a specimen varying from the type of H. locuples and stated: “ ... prope oculos squamulis majoribus laetissime purpureo-aureis vestita ... ”. However, he did not list it officially as variant or subspecies with an explicit heading and an explicit description. A few years later Simon (1901) mentioned the species name, so, it is well imaginable that he had planned to describe a species with this name (including designation and deposition of a type) subsequently, but he never did.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.

03D88781FFECC12866ABF8B2638F48D0.taxon	description	Description. The description is only a short summary by mentioning a few characters of taxonomic interest. The reasons are: 1. This species is not a Corythalia. 2. A physical examination was not possible (see above). Male: unknown. Female: body length 6 mm. Basic colouration relatively dark red-brown, with light transversal band centrally on opisthosoma and additionally with short transversal band in front of spinnerets (Figs 56 A, 56 G). Carapace laterally and proximally without margin of light white to beige scale hairs (may or may not be rubbed off). General shape of carapace similar to the situation in Corythalia species but appears to be slightly longer (Figs 56 A, 56 G). Legs light brown to red brown, III & IV annulated (light brown & brown) (Figs 56 A, 56 G). Leg pair I (at least slightly) stronger and broader than others (Figs 56 A – B). Palps similar like those in females of Corythalia species but distally (palpal tarsus) slightly broader (Figs 56 C – D). Cheliceral claws longer than in Corythalia species (Figs 56 B – D), distal endings (in resting position) crossing. Gnathocoxae shorter and labium slightly shorter than in Corythalia species (Figs 56 C – D). Cheliceral furrow with two teeth at promargin (one clearly smaller and shorter than the other having normal size) and one at retromargin. The latter conspicuous and broad (larger than the large tooth on promargin) (Fig. 56 D). Cheliceral base medio-distally at anterior surface without lobe. COPULATORY ORGAN: “ Epigynal windows ”, if regarded as such, very finely indicated and approximately round (Figs 56 E, 56 H). A crescent structure leading to the copulatory opening. Primary spermathecae visible through cuticle. Posterior margin of epigyne with conspicuous, deep invagination (Figs 56 E, 56 H). Epigynal field slightly longer than broad (Fig. 56 H). Vulva: (primary) spermathecae clearly longer than broad, fertilisation ducts arising from medio-anteriorly. Copulatory duct quite broad (Figs 56 F, 56 I).	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FFECC12866ABF8B2638F48D0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Concluding the descriptive aspects above, this species definitely does not belong to the genus Corythalia. Although, colouration of dorsal opisthosoma and shape of the carapace (except the fact that it is slightly longer) would suggest assignment to the genus Corythalia, the length of the cheliceral claws, the teeth on both margins of the cheliceral furrow and the missing lobes medio-distally on anterior surface of cheliceral base are not common in Corythalia. Above all, the basic structures of the copulatory organ distinctly differ from Corythalia. The deep invagination at posterior part of epigyne, the missing secondary spermathecae and the relatively broad copulatory duct running simply from anterior to posterior resemble the conditions in some species of Phiale C. L. Koch, 1846 and definitely correspond to Pachomius. Consequently, this species is here transferred to the genus Pachomius.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C. L.

03D88781FF15C1D566ABFEEC65074B60.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to the description in Taczanowski (1871) this species almost certainly does not belong to Corythalia. The arguments are the following: first, it is a very small species with a body length of only 3.5 mm, which is unusual in Corythalia; second, the following somatic characters clearly differ from all currently known Corythalia species: a) anterior row of eyes in frontal view equal in line — in Corythalia the lateral eyes reach further dorsally than the median eyes (Fig. 3 B); b) carapace dark with one transverse light band; c) opisthosoma dorsally dark green, with metallic shine and with three crescent moon-like patches (Taczanowski 1871). As the holotype of C. heliophanina is lost, we did not have the chance of re-examination. Hence, at the moment a sufficient characterisation and definition (diagnosis) of this species is not possible. As it is not to exclude that the type will be found someday, we do not consider C. heliophanina a nomen dubium, but a species inquirenda. Accordingly, the provisional placement in Neonella has to be regarded under incertae sedis. Just in case the holotype would be found in the future and made available for examination, a re-description, a revised diagnosis and a comprehensive genus affiliation could be provided.	en	Bayer, Steffen, Höfer, Hubert, Metzner, Heiko (2020): Revision of the genus Corythalia C.
