Abstract

The Afrotropical spider genus Parabomis Kulczyński, 1901 is revised. Members of Parabomis are some of the smallest thomisids known, and occur from Eritrea in the north of Africa to South Africa in the south, but are absent from Madagascar. Prior to this study, three species were known, namely P. levanderi Kulczyński, 1901 (Eritrea, ♂), P. martini Lessert, 1919 (Tanzania, ♂♀) and P. anabensis Lawrence, 1928 (Namibia, ♀). Parabomis anabensis sp. nov. is here recognized as a junior synonym of P. martini and four new species are described: P. elsae sp. nov. from South Africa (♂♀), P. megae sp. nov. from Zimbabwe (♂♀), P. pilosus sp. nov. from Botswana (♂♀) and P. wandae sp. nov. from Ghana (♂♀). A key to the six species is provided. The monotypic Afrotropical genus Felsina Simon, 1895, only known from its type species, F. granulum Simon, 1895, resembles Parabomis closely is known only from juveniles.

摘要

修订了非洲热带蜘蛛属 Parabomis Kulczyński, 1901。Parabomis 属的成员是已知的最小的长脚蛛之一，分布于从非洲北部的厄立特里亚到南部的南非，但不分布于马达加斯加。在这项研究之前，已知有三个物种，即 P. levanderi Kulczyński, 1901（厄立特里亚，♂）、P. martini Lessert, 1919（坦桑尼亚，♂♀）和 P. anabensis Lawrence, 1928（纳米比亚，♀）。Parabomis anabensis sp. nov. 被认为是 P. martini 的一个年轻的同义词，并且描述了四个新物种：来自南非的 P. elsae sp. nov.（♂♀）、来自津巴布韦的 P. megae sp. nov.（♂♀）、来自博茨瓦纳的 P. pilosus sp. nov.（♂♀）和来自加纳的 P. wandae sp. nov.（♂♀）。提供了六个物种的关键特征。仅知其模式种 F. granulum Simon, 1895 的单种非洲热带属 Felsina Simon, 1895 与 Parabomis 非常相似，仅从幼体中得知。
