Spiders of the corinnid genus Myrmecotypus Pickard-Cambridge, 1894 are known for being morphological and behavioral mimics of ants (Reiskind 1969, 1977; Cushing 1997, 2012; Rubio & Arbino 2009; Rubio et al. 2013). This genus currently includes nine species from to the New World. They occur from the United States (one species) to Argentina (one species), but most (seven species) occur from Mexico to Panama (Reiskind 1969; Rubio & Arbino 2009, Platnick 2014). A new species, M. jasmineae, from Nicaragua is described here from two males. A key to males and females of Myrmecotypus, adapted from Reiskind (1969), is modified to include all of the known species.
1894年,皮卡尔德 - 剑桥所命名的蚁蛛属(Myrmecotypus)的蜘蛛,以在形态和行为上模仿蚂蚁而闻名(雷斯金德,1969年、1977年;库欣,1997年、2012年;鲁维奥和阿尔比诺,2009年;鲁维奥等人,2013年)。该属目前包括来自新大陆的九个物种。它们分布于美国(一个物种)至阿根廷(一个物种),但大多数(七个物种)分布于墨西哥至巴拿马(雷斯金德,1969年;鲁维奥和阿尔比诺,2009年;普拉特尼克,2014年)。本文根据两只雄性标本描述了来自尼加拉瓜的一个新物种——茉莉蚁蛛(M. jasmineae)。本文改编自雷斯金德(1969年)的蚁蛛属雄性和雌性检索表,进行了修改以涵盖所有已知物种。
