Abstract
Abstract
We have revised the linyphiid genera Jalapyphantes and Selenyphantes. Jalapyphantes now includes five species, one of them new (J. tricolor sp. nov.). Selenyphantes now consists of six species of which five are new (S. costaricensis sp. nov., S. gaimani sp. nov., S. iztactepetl sp. nov., S. orizabae sp. nov. and S. volcanicus sp. nov.). To infer the phylogenetic position of Jalapyphantes and Selenyphantes, we analysed nucleotide sequence data from five markers (16S,18S, 28S, COI and histone H3) combined with morphological and behavioural data. Both genera are monophyletic and sister to each other. Both Jalapyphantes and Selenyphantes are included within the newly circumscribed Pocobletus clade, which includes all known species of Pocobletus plus several undescribed species. Pocobletus has nomenclatural priority over the junior synonyms Exechopsis, Exocora and Graphomoa.
