Introduction

The fauna of New Caledonia is often discussed in terms of Gondwanan heritage. Indeed, the island group was separated from Gondwana some 85 MYA, but later experienced multiple subductions and submergences (Cluzel et al. 2012) and, in fact it only emerged in post-Eocene (37 MYA). Consequently, New Caledonian biota, fauna, and flora should not be discussed in terms of direct Gondwanan heritage, but rather as the result of local radiations and colonisation from other sources (Keast and Miller 1996, Grandcolas et al. 2008, Heads 2008, 2010, 2014). The phenomenon of local radiation is also known for several salticid genera such as Corambis Simon, 1901, Penionomus Simon, 1903 and Rhondes Simon, 1901 (Maddison et al. 2008); all are part of the Australasian Astioida clade and derived from Australian ancestors between 9 and 20 MYA (Bodner and Maddison 2012). The genus Rogmocrypta (here) with seven nominal species is also the case of radiation in situ.

Our initial aim is to present a complete revision of the genus; however, the lack of type material for R. nigella Simon, 1900 and R. puta Simon, 1900 limited our goals.

Materials and methods

The material was obtained from the following collections:

MNHN Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France

QMQueensland Museum, Brisbane, Australia.

The examination specimen methods were as described by Żabka (1991). The drawings were made using a grid system. The photographs were taken with Nikon D5200 camera and Nikon SMZ1000 stereomicroscope, and were digitally processed with ZoomBrowser and HeliconFocus software. The dissected epigynes were digested in 10% KOH and studied under compound microscope. The actual and predicted distributional maps were generated with DIVA-GIS bio-climatic software using BIOCLIM application (Nix, 1986; Busby, 1991). Our model has been produced with 14 field records and met the requirements for the software (at least 5–10 records; Hernandez et. al. 2006). The following environmental variables were used in the analysis: annual mean temperature, mean monthly temperature range, isothermality, temperature seasonality, max temperature of warmest month, min temperature of coldest month, temperature annual range, mean temperature of wettest quarter, mean temperature of driest quarter, mean temperature of warmest quarter, mean temperature of coldest quarter, annual precipitation, precipitation of wettest month, precipitation of driest month, precipitation seasonality, precipitation of wettest quarter, precipitation of driest quarter, precipitation of warmest quarter, precipitation of coldest quarter.

Taxonomy

Genus Rogmocrypta Simon, 1900

Rogmocrypta Simon, 1900: 387; 1901: 389, 445–446; Maddison et al. 2008: 52–55; Maddison 2015: 277.

Type species

R. elegans (Simon 1885) = Chalcoscirtus elegans Simon 1885, originally designated by Simon (1900).

Diagnosis

Differs from related genera by tiny or small body size. Unlike in Lystrocteissa (Patoleta and Gardzińska 2013, figs 9–15) the habitus is not ant-mimic (Figs 1, 7, 10, 16, 28) and much more compact than in Corambis (Szűts 2002, figs 1, 10–12). Male palpal embolus¹ is sabre-like (Fig. 5) and shorter than in Penionomus (Żabka 1988, fig. 114) and in some species of Rhondes (Patoleta 2016, figs 9–14). Tegulum without lobe (more or less marked in relatives). Seminal duct not meandering, tibial apophysis short (Fig. 6). Unlike in Rhondes (Patoleta 2016, figs 22–27). Epigyne with no central pocket (Figs 8, 14, 20, 25, 34). Copulatory ducts much shorter than in Penionomus (Żabka 1988, fig. 118) and not twisted (Figs 9, 15, 21, 27, 36, 43). Accessory glands not distinctive - unlike in Corambis (Szűts 2002, figs 4, 17) where they are long.

Description

Cephalothorax medium-high, longer than broad and widest at the level of coxae II; fovea in distinct depression, posterior slope steep, starting behind fovea, eye field wider than long, trapezoid (PLE<ALE). Eyes in three rows, the first row straight. Chelicerae with two promarginal teeth, retromarginal tooth 4–6-cuspidate (Figs 19, 33, 41). Endites slender and divergent, in male with lateral outgrowth (Fig. 3). Labium wider than long. Sternum longer than wide. Abdomen ovoid, longer than wide. Spinnerets short. Legs moderately long and thin. Leg formula: I–IV–II–III. Male palpal organ simple: cymbium unmodified, tegulum longer than wide, ovoid, with no lobes, embolus curved, rather thin, retrolateral tibial apophysis single (Fig. 6). Epigyne copulatory openings located close to each other (Figs 21, 27, 43) or distinctly separated (Figs 9, 15, 36), sometimes strongly sclerotised (Figs 25–27). Copulatory ducts narrow. Spermathecae C-shaped (Figs 9, 15, 36) or semicircular (Figs 21, 27, 43).

Distribution

According to WSC (2017) three species of Rogmocrypta are listed from New Caledonia (R. elegans), Philippines (R. nigella Simon, 1900) and Singapore (R. puta Simon, 1900). However, two latter are poorly known, their bioclimatic distributional predictions (Fig. 45) do not match Rogmocrypta-pattern and they probably are not congeneric. Additionally, the five species described here seem to confirm New Caledonia as the diversity and radiation centre.

Biology

The species treated here are litter dweller in humid forests.

Remarks

According to recent molecular studies (Maddison et al. 2008, Maddison 2015), Rogmocrypta belongs to Viciriini tribe within the Australasian Astioida clade and is closely related to other New Caledonian genera such as Trite Simon, 1885, Penionomus Simon, 1903 and Lystrocteissa Simon, 1884. However, the analysis of male genitalia here and in Maddison et al (2008: fig. 3) raises some doubts about congeneric status of R. elegans (we dealt with the type) and cf. Rogmocrypta sp. in Maddison et al. (2008): both show important differences in embolus structure and tegular lobe, which is missing in R. elegans. To clarify the relationships of Rogmocrypta it is necessary to perform molecular tests for all species ever listed in the genus. At this stage any reference to other New Caledonian genera as possible relatives can only be provisional.
