First record of Gypogyna forceps Simon, 1900 (Araneae, Salticidae, Scopocirini) in Uruguay, with notes on its taxonomy and natural history

Abstract

We present the first record of Gypogyna forceps Simon, 1900 from Uruguay. This also constitutes the first record of tribe Scopocirini from the country, as well as being the southernmost record for the tribe and species. We provide new data and comments on its taxonomy, including the first description and images of internal female genitalia, as well as an updated distribution and notes on its natural history. Photographs of living and preserved specimens are also included.
