REMARKS. South Palaearctic genus, common in Mediterranean and continuing along warm Asian belt all the way up to the Pacisic coasta, rare in Europe north of Mediterranean. Structure of palps permit to classify it among HYLLINES, which is supported by internal structures of epigyne comparable with some Mogrus. Males change dark coloration of abdomen into striking red upon maturity.

I - rejected competitor to senior synonym position -palp of related, but distinctly different species, identified by Wesołowska in 1997 as Plexippoides "flavescens"(epigyne of matched female is displaed as fig. I-1,). Later Logunov & Zamanpoore, 2005: 225, f. 26-31 declared that the palps of both species are identical and synonymised these species. Source: D-E - Prószyński 1976: 156, f. 294, 427-431, reprinted 1984: 400, f. 5-8), E - and misinterpreted as synonym by - Logunov & Zamanpoore, 2005: 225, f. 26-31, F-G - Wesołowska (1996: 34, f. 24A-D).

Plate XYZ. Female specimens rumored to be involved into "flavescens " affair. G - epigyne*/ of the lectotype of the "Salticus"flavescens" (= "Menemerus" flavescens = Plexippoides flavescens O. P.-Cambridge) labeled "Salticidae, Palestine", vial "52" jar "1739", kept in the Hope Museum in Oxford, drawn by Prószyński in 1977 - published in 1984. Logunov identified lectotype of "Salticus flavescens" with described by Wesołowska female of Plexippoides "flavescens" (fig. I-1), whose matched male he has already attempted to synonymized with Plexippoides starmuehlneri, X - "stray" female found together with lectotype of P. starmuehlneri, presumably Langona sp.
In a result, the following intellectual construction emerged: the oldest specimen (therefore name bearer of the genus) - female of "Salticus" flavescens O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872 "conspecific" with female of Plexippoides "flavescens" Wesołowska, 1995 of whose matched (both collected by Logunov in Turkmenistan, close to Iranian border), declared above as synonym of Plexippoides starmuehlneri. Hence all these well studied synonyms were lumped under into composite alias Plexippoides flavescens O. Pickard Cambridge, 1872.
That conclusion was accepted and is now publicized by the WSC (assessed August 2024).

COMMENT. In 1977 no preparation was made, to save the precious epigyne of the syntype (G) intact, spermatheca (H) was published by Prószyński 2003: f. 568 - but he cannot remember making it, it may be some mistake deserved checking up. Logunov examining later the syntype failed to document it.

One more female rumored to be involved into "flavescens synonymy" affair - Evarcha afghana Roewer, 1962a: 26, f. 109 - syntype in the Senckenberg Museu - drawing by Prószyński made in 1983 (K) and on his request - the control photographs of the same specimen - by P. Jaeger, 2022.

Plate XYZ. 1-5, 8 - NEO-"Thiodina" nicoleti of Bustamante, Maddison & Ruiz, 2015 designated NEOTYPE "Thiodina nicoleti" because of similarity of fig. 8 (facsimile of original illustration by Nicolet, 1849, palps unknown) and the new specimen from Chile (fig. 8). Copy of the original drawing of Attus elegans by Nicolet (f. 8) looks similar to the NEOTYPE specimen (shown on f. 1), similarity - yes, but only identity of genitalic character could prove that. In view that NEO-"Thiodina" is phylogentically imposter to the original Thiodina of Simon, 1900 and his Thiodinae stock of genera, this substitution of the genus name is questionable, new species from Chile should be describe as a new genus.

Gen. Thyene Simon, 1885
Type species Thyene imperialis (42 recognizable species)
Compare genera in vol. I at Thyene
DIAGNOSIS. Genus defined by internal structure of epigyne consisting of a few circular rounds of membranous ducts, arranged dish like, parallel to surface of epigyne and covering deeper laying multi-chambered, sclerotized spermathecae. The armature of scent exuding opening in a form of long duct, chimney like, running from nearby spermathecae to the surface [?] of epigyne. Rims of copulatory ducts straight, delimiting rectangular, white membranous "window". Bulbus is round, with a small flap, encircled by embolus. The structure of epigyne and palp occur in all species of Thyene, independently of shape of carapace, which may be slightly or enormously swollen at the level of eyes III, or parallel sided (such species were classified as Gangus), independently of color pattern and presence of a pair of lateral tufts of hairs near eyes II.

Gen. Tusitala Peckham & Peckham, 1902
Type species Tusitala barbata (10 recognizable species)
Compare genera in vol. I at Tusitala
DIAGNOSIS. The genus can be best recognized by presence of "basket" of long, arching setae anteriorly on chelicerae, near their tip. There is anterior oval depression on epigyne, with copulatory openings near its posterior rim, from there runs posteriorly long and relatively broad duct, making next two coils around its later part, doubling back towards large oval chamber, from where narrow and short, but heavily sclerotized duct doubles to small spermatheca.

Gen. Viciria Thorell, 1877
Type species Viciria pavesii (2 recognizable species only, although WSC lists 21)
Compare genera in vol. I at Viciria

COMMENT. Understanding of this gnus underwent two major revolutions: 58 species accepted by Bonnet in 1955 were reduced by Prószyński in 1968b, 1983 and 1984b to 2 [8 were transferred to Telamonia, 10 to Phintella, 2 to Epeus, 7 were left temporarily as false "Viciria" pending further revision, a number unrecognizable was left as species inquirenda], the latest revision was made in 2022 by Wesołowska and Russell-Smith, 2022. The second revolution was done by editors of the WSC who have added as much as 20 names of species (devoid of drawings and never revised) to 2 species accepted by Prószyński ). In 2022 D. E. Hill attempted to synonymize Viciria pavesii Thorell, 1877 from Celebes with described from Sumatra and Singapore Viciria praemandibularis (van Hasselt, 1893) on the basis of diversity of beautiful photographs from Singapore and incomplete genitalic characters illustrated by Prószyński, 1984 - unknown internal structure of epigyne of Viciria praemandibularis and scanty differences in palps of both species, limited so far to shape of tibial apophysis (compare figs A and D below). It is recommended to further work on that idea, however absence of comparison of epigyne and unclear geographic diversity suggests delaying final conclusion of these species.
DIAGNOSIS. Body thin and very long, legs very long. Embolus arises laterally near mid-length of oval bulbus. Internal structure of epigyne insufficiently known, ducts make several loops. Diagnostic drawings below are integral part of definition.
HISTORICAL NOTE. Genus Viciria Thorell 1877, originally having 59 species, appeared to be heterogeneous (Prószyński 1968c 1984b) and consisted of 6 different group of species, which were transferred to genera having similar type species, leaving in the true Viciria only two species, illustrated below. Six species which could not be placed in any genus at that time were left provisionally in "Viciria" and were eventually distributed into their proper genera within next 40 years. Nine unrecognizable species were transferred into temporary "Viciria provisional". A model procedure in my opinion, did not caused much disturbance, except omitting without comment quotation mark at "Viciria" by the Platnick's Catalog (online), which mislead a few subsequent authors, who did not care to read original publication and/or Salticidae database.

. COMMENT. I appreciate very much D. E. Hill - one of the most intelligent arachnologist and ingenious photographer of spiders, but his analysis of taxonomy of Viciria does not fulfil conditions of revision of species, which requires analysis of all necessary material, including, first of all, analysis of diversity and distribution of diagnostic characters. He analyses incidentally available photographs of not identified specimens. Do these photographs represent all species living in the enormous tropical area? The most important character is internal structure of epigyne of single specimen. Where are study of that for another species whose photographa he presented. And of another species possibly living in that area? He rejoices similarity of palps marked 3-4 on the drawing above (but look at photo 40, on originals of drawings A and D). Interpretation of proportion and small details require some experience (marvellously demonstrated by Hill in the recent paper on Thiodina and Colonus - but interpretation of diagnostic differences demand somewhat different skill. Hill may be right, after all, but his observations are insufficien to confirm of his purpose. And the WSC editors should think over again the process of acceptation of synonymisations. By the way - I am surprised that WSC accepts Africn species listed by Clarck as Viciria.

Plate XYZ. 1-5, 8 - NEO-"Thiodina" nicoleti of Bustamante, Maddison & Ruiz, 2015 designated NEOTYPE "Thiodina nicoleti" because of similarity of fig. 8 (facsimile of original illustration by Nicolet, 1849, palps unknown) and the new specimen from Chile (fig. 8). Copy of the original drawing of Attus elegans by Nicolet (f. 8) looks similar to the NEOTYPE specimen (shown on f. 1), similarity - yes, but only identity of genitalic character could prove that. In view that NEO-"Thiodina" is phylogentically imposter to the original Thiodina of Simon, 1900 and his Thiodinae stock of genera, this substitution of the genus name is questionable, new species from Chile should be describe as a new genus.

Personal note
Spider photographs of D. E. Hill are not only beautiful but also convey intelligent message - showing overlooked features and biology of snapped Salticidae. Incidentally I looked at his chef d'oevre - photographic monograph of two species of Colonus [=Thiodina] particularly his figs 69-70 showing peculiar minute "bulbous setae" hidden among other hairs on tibia I in two species of Colonus - their strangeness demonstrated only on SEM scans (see sample below). I marveled at observation abilities of arachnologists who noticed that and interpreted.



Plate XYZ. Thiodina puerpera (Hentz 1846) [=? Thiodina sylvana (Hentz 1846)]. Color photograph of tibia I with "bulbose setae" [pointed by red arrows], almost lost among normal setae, as well as SEM scan of bulbose setae [shown in four consecutive magnifications], also color pattern of live male and female.
SURCE: Hill, D. E. (2012) (first published, photos copied from the 2018 edition) . Notes on the jumping spiders Thiodina puerpera (Hentz 1846) and Thiodina sylvana (Hentz 1846) in the southeastern United States (Araneae: Salticidae). Peckhamia 99.1: 1-63 and (2018a). Notes on the jumping spiders Colonus puerperus (Hentz 1846) and Colonus sylvanus (Hentz 1846) in the southeastern United States (Araneae: Salticidae: Amycoida: Gophoini). Peckhamia 99.2: 1-63.
The same paper was published again in 2018, the only visible difference between both editions was correction of the genus name Thiodina to Colonus.
Enchanted by Hill's photographs, I wanted to check what his predecessor, the first author of the genus Thiodina - E. Simon, wrote about "bulbous setae" so I looked at the pages 445-459 description of "group of genera" [= subfamily] Thiodineae in his huge monograph -Simon, E. (1901a). Histoir
e naturelle des araignées. Deuxième édition, tome second. ( pp. 381-668) (the facsimile of the beginning of the description is shown below):
Plate XYZ. Chapeau bas! Monsieur Simon! This incident shows Simon as a person - he was first to notice (with his primitive optics!) "bulbous setae", became curious about them, perhaps enthusiastic, searched for their occurrence among variety of Salticidae in his huge collection - ascertained their presence in four species of his genus Thiodina and four other genera (all together over 20 species recognized by Simon!), has delimited them in his group Thiodineae, demonstrating his understanding of principles of evolution of genera. One more observation - in the included facsimile Simon comments of variation in cheliceral dentition - his unfortunate cornerstone of division of family Salticidae - which I observed in 1954 and ... resigned from following Simon's division, I know arachnologists who would never confess to such grave mistake. After that I recognize brotherly soul in Simon, probably many taxonomist would feel the same. Publishing his huge book took time, so Simon published new genus Thiodina faster, in a small paper of 1900, adding historical ancestor - borrowed from literature - Attus elegans Nicolet, 1849 as a type species, which he has never seen himself - judging from its perfunctory description, confirmed as lost by Roewer, 1951.

Currently Bustamante, Maddison & Ruiz, 2015. Zootaxa 4012(1): 181-190 noticed similarity of a specimen newly collected in Chile to the original illustration by Nicolet, 1849 (see copies above), not congeneric with remaining Thiodina. They decided that name bearer is more authoritative heir of the name Thiodna than original stock of 20 species possessing "bulbous setae", contrary to Simon's preoccupation with "bulbous setae" and his exceptional efforts to check distribution of these unusual setae and their possible functionstudy. Simon apparently delimited new genus because of that important character, not illustrated genus merely with convenient character. I think we should respect views of our deceased colleague, no matter that deceased 100 years ago.
Continuity of the genus Thiodina sensu Simon, 1901, makes sense for biologists - interested in documentation of the diversity and phylogeny of genotypes, their spread across Western Hemisphere, over two American continents. The first, obvious result of substitution of names of these genera is nomenclatorical chaos - interrupted continuity of usage of name Thiodina - there was a number of publications on Thiodina sensu Simon, 1901 between 1901 and 2015, including Thiodina puerpera and Thiodina sylvana, popularly known in the USA. Suddenly, after 2015, Thiodina sensu Bustamante, Maddison & Ruiz denotes unrelated spiders, differing morphologically, biologically and of course phylogenetically.
The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature provides the following procedure in cases identificatory disagreement between a taxon and its type species:
This somewhat ambiguous legal provision licenses author to select as the neotype either most fitting species constituting the genus, or the name being applied already, the criterion of choice being "interest of stability" - stability of name denoting genom of the genus, not the combination of letters merely constituting the name. There are other provisions in the ICZN explaining difference between "type specimen" (being single single holotype [lectotype, neotype] specimen - material reference of a species) and "type species" of a genus, or other higher, collective taxon (being all specimens of a variable taxa: the genus, or genera of the subfamily etc., respectively). Designating single NEOTYPE of a species, the authors were obliged to remember that so designated species constitutes simultaneously reference of the genus and subfamily. Original description of the genus Thiodina by Simon 1900: describes two species (plus incongruous "type species" Attus elegans), but the next year published (in the enormous monograph, but simultaneously conceived) "subfamily" [=Simon's "group of genera"] Thoidineae Simon, 1901 includes 20 bearing "bulbose setae" species, divided into 4 genera. Therefore collective reference name bearer - the "type genus" Thiodina is constituted by four species, being criterion of its stability, and it is delimited by presence of pairs of "bulbous setae". Simon, 1901: 389 opposes bearers of such setae to all other Salticidae in his key to "pluridentati" "groups" [=subfamilies] [17. Tibias I paris setis bulbosis 1 rarius 2 subtus munitae... Thiodineae]. So this is the group Simon would like to stabilize. As stated above, it was mistake that he selected for them imposter specimen, he has apparently never seen, and which has no "bulbous setae", as we know today. So the proposed NEO-"Thiodina" nicoleti neotype neither fit nor stabilize Simon's group [subfamily] Thiodineae and should be eliminated from competition. There remains 4 candidate species delimited by Simon as Thiodina - among them Thiodina puerpera and T. sylvana, perfectly defined by series of Hill's photographs, both noticeable and popularly know in the country of their occurrence. It is obvious that these two species ( they could be the same species unnecessarily separated) are best candidates for designation as neotype, and should be presented to the International COmmission on Zoological Nomenclature for formal fixation.
The name of NEO-"Thiodina" sensu Bustamante, Maddison & Ruiz, being in fact junior homonym, as well as the name of its higher taxon - tribe Thiodinini should be therefore replaced.
