03C887FDFFAFBA13EFB1829BFC5CA00A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Wanless (1988) classified the species within Arasia. It has, however, typical characteristics of Sondra: cephalothorax is box-shaped rather than pear-shaped as in Arasia, the epigyne lacks long insemination ducts, the embolus is short and the tibial apophyses is massive and complicated like in some Sondra species. The species should be classified within the Sondra nepenthicola species group (Wanless, 1988).	en	Żabka, Marek (2002): Salticidae (Arachnida: Araneae) from the Oriental, Australian and Pacific Regions, XV.
