Introduction

This chapter houses two enigmatic groups of genera:
a) two genera (each with single species) W.P. Maddison did not know where to classify - Orvilleus Chickering, 1946 and Toloella Chickering, 1946;
b) the undescribed tribe Simonellini, whose contents (Cylistella Simon, 1901*, Erica Peckham & Peckham, 1892*, Fluda Peckham & Peckham, 1892* and Synemosyna Hentz, 1846) Maddison explains as follows:
"This group is a strange mix of small beetle-like salticids (Cylistella, Figs. 44, 45) and ant-like salticids (Figs. 41–43, 46), including Synemosyna, often an excellent mimic of the elongate ant Pseudomyrmex. See Ruiz & Maddison (in press) for the use of the name “Simonellini”. The type genus is Simonella Peckham & Peckham, 1885, a junior synonym of Synemosyna Hentz, 1846".
If that classification is strange for its Author, it is even stranger to me: why the name of the tribe is referred to prior to publication of a formal description, why it is based on a junior synonymic genus name Simonella? In addition Maddison quotes as synonyms of unpublished tribe name Simonelline Ruiz & Maddison, 2015 the names of groups used by their Authors in a different sense:
Synemosinae F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1900
Synemosyneae Simon, 190: containing only two ant-like genera Simonella and Synemosyna
Synemosyneae Roewer, 1954: repeats Simon's classification of Simonella and Synemosyna
Synemosyninae Prószyński, 1976: in a preliminary trial classification included ant-like genera Bellota, Leptorchestes, Myrmarachne, Peckhamia, Sarinda, Synageles, Synagelides and Synemosyna.
I leave clarification of these doubts to W.P. Maddison himself.

Gen. Fluda Peckham & Peckham, 1892 (12 species)

Type species Fluda narcissa.
REMARKS. The genus consists of two groups of species differing by the structure of epigyne, their congeneric status deserves revision. Diagnostic drawings below are integral part of definition.
