Male and female syntypes: Japan (ZMB 2679, 2692, 3501-52, not examined).

This species has been found in China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. In China, the species has been found in Sichuan (Chengdu, Xiushan), Henan (Xinyang), Jiangsu (Suzhou), and Zhejiang (Zhu et al. 1990).

In molecular phylogenetic analyses (Crews and Gillespie 2010), Selenops bursarius does not group with other Selenops species, but is instead always allied with Karaops gen. n. from Australia, though this relationship is not well supported. Selenops bursarius shares the 3–2 tibial-metatarsal ventral spination with Old and New World Selenops species, however the male palps are unique among selenopids. The RTA is very elaborate and consists of three apophyses; large dorsal and medial apophyses and a smaller ventral apophysis. The embolus resembles that of some Karaops gen. n. species in its shape and origin. The MA is bulbous, two-branched and highly sclerotized, a unique feature. Finally, the conductor is somewhat T-shaped, a characteristic found in several selenopid genera. We have chosen to retain this species in Selenops at the present time, though clearly it retains unique features and may indeed represent an undescribed lineage.

In China, it has been found on cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), where it hides under the bark during the day and comes out at night (Zhu et al. 1990).

Female holotype: Leshan Buddha Temple, Sichuan Province, China [29°34'N, 103°41'E], 23.X.1975, Z. Chuandian (Norman Bethune Medial University, Department of Biology, Changchun, Jilin; not examined).

Only known from the type locality (Map 1).

Selenops ollarius clearly belongs in the genus Selenops. The epigynum resembles that of Selenops radiatus and other Old World Selenopidae.

Selenops cordatus: Holotype female: Binggu Orchards, Miyi County, Sichuan Province, China [27°07'N, 102°01'E], IX–X.1980 (Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Science Institute of Plant Protection; not examined). Paratypes: Males and females, same data as holotype (Norman Bethune Medial University, Department of Biology, Changchun, Jilin; not examined).

Known only from Sichuan Province in China (Map 1); however, it is widespread from Africa, throughout the Mediterranean, India, and other parts of Asia. Thus, it is likely found elsewhere in China.

It is clear from the drawings provided by Zhu et al. (1990) that Selenops cordatus is a junior synonym of Selenops radiatus. This extends the range of Selenops radiatus even further east (Map 1), making it the most widespread member of the Selenopidae, the phylogeography of which would no doubt be interesting to study.

Holotype female: San Jose, 12°23'N, 121°04'E, Mindoro Island, Philippines, III.1945, E.S. Ross (CAS 9031787).

The specific epithet comes from the Buhid Mangyan word baginawa, meaning spider in the language of the indigenous people inhabiting the region of the type locality. The name is to be treated as a noun in apposition.

This species can be differentiated from all others by the very simple internal copulatory organs (Fig. 2). Males unknown.

The specific epithet comes from the Latin word caritus, meaning lacking, devoid of, or poor, and refers to the near lack of a fovea, and lack of prosomal radiating lines, and the absence of a MA, which is found in all other known Selenopidae. The name is to be treated as an adjective.

This species can be separated from all other Selenopidae by a lack of MA (Fig. 1). Females unknown.

Monteith, 1♂ (QM S57515); from base of Jim Crow Mountain [23°13'S, 150°38'E], VII.1982, A. Rozefelds, 1♀ (QM S61054); Brandy Creek [20°21'S, 148°43'E], 15.IV.1975, R. Monroe, J. Covacevich, P. Filewood, 1♂ (QM S47115).

The male coiled, the small MA that is attached to the base of the cymbium (Fig. 7). Females can be separated from other species by the coiled sperm ducts that lead to small, ovoid spermathecae, and epigynal pockets are absent (Figs 9–10).

The holotype from Bowen, north-eastern Queensland, is an immature (L. Koch 1875) and therefore unidentifiable to species level. We have assigned several adult specimens collected near Bowen to this species, in the assumption that only a single species occurs in the region. Although males and females have not been collected sympatrically, we have assigned them to the same species as they were collected less than 20 km apart.

The specific name comes from the Nyoongar jarrit, meaning jarrah. Jarrah trees (Eucalyptus marginata) are common throughout the area where this species is found. The name is to be treated as a noun in apposition.

Males of this species can be separated from all other species except Karaops raveni sp. n. by having unpaired spines on Ti I and II, and can be separated from Karaops raveni by having the MA with a quadrangular base. Females can be separated from other species by the a diamond shaped median septum, small posterodorsal folds, and coiled internal ducts (Figs 23–26).

Though the male and female have not been collected together, it is clear from their morphologies that they are the same species. Additionally, and interestingly, this species is morphologically similar to Karaops raveni sp. n. and Karaops marrayagong sp. n. from eastern Australia. The cephalothorax of all three species is strongly flattened, giving the habitus a very truncate, or short and squat, appearance. The females have 5 paired spines on the ventral tibiae I and II, and 3 pairs on the metatarsi, whereas the male has either 4 or 5 spines (unpaired) on tibiae I and II, and no spines on the ventral surface of the metatarsi, though the male of Karaops marrayagong sp. n. is unknown.

Holotype female (AM KS19743): Kitty’s Creek [33°47'S, 151°08'E], near Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 1916.

The specific epithet comes from the indigenous Dharug word for spider. Dharug is the language indigenous to the type locality. The name is to be treated as a noun in apposition.

This species can be separated from Karaops raveni sp. n. as the lateral lobes of the epigyne do not come into contact posteriorly, the ducts are narrower, and the spermathecae are closer together (Figs 27–28). Males unknown.

There is some ambiguity as to where exactly this specimen is from as it is rather old. The region of Kitty’s Creek in Sydney has been searched recently, but the area has been developed a great deal since the specimen was originally collected.

The specific epithet is in honor of Dr. Robert Raven from the Queensland Museum in recognition of his work on Australian spiders.

Males can be distinguished from all other males by having unpaired setae ventrally on tibiae I and II, and from Karaops jarrit sp. n. by having the MA with a quadrangular base (Figs 29–30). Females can be distinguished from other species by an almost downward-pointing arrow- shaped median septum and the lateral lobes coming into contact posteriorly (Figs 31–32).

Thus far, this is the most widespread species of Karaops gen. n. Although the copulatory organs were identical in all specimens examined, there is much morphological variation throughout the range of the species in somatic characters, and size. The female has paired tibial and metatarsal ventral spines on legs I and II, while in the male, the spines are unpaired on the tibiae and there are no spines on the metatarsi, as in Karaops jarrit sp. n. There also seems to be some variation in the number of cheliceral teeth present – typically the promargin has 4 teeth and the retromargin has 3 teeth, however, it may differ between the right and left sides of some specimens (e.g. L 4, 2; R 4, 3 or R 4, 2; L 2, 3).

The specific name comes from the Adnyamathanha words vadla, meaning flat, and adambara, meaning spider, in the language of the indigenous Adnyamathanha people of the region of the type locality. The name is to be treated as a noun in apposition.

Males can be differentiated from all other species by having a portion of the conductor behind the MA, and the conductor being sclerotized terminally. Additionally, the embolus is short and hook shaped, and in the center of the bulb rather than the lateral edge (Fig. 51). Females can be separated from other species by a quadrangular medium septum and well-separated, round spermathecae and short copulatory ducts (Figs 53–54).

Holotype male (SAM NN10914): 8 km northeast of Mount Woodroffe, South Australia, Australia, in gorge, 26°17'S, 131°48'E, 15.X.1994, D. Hirst. Paratype: 2.5 km southwest of Womikata Bore Homeland, South Australia, Australia, 26°07'S, 132°08'E, 20.X.1994, D. Hirst, 1♀ (SAM NN10915).

The specific epithet refers to the indigenous Pitjantjatjara name for Mount Woodroofe, the type locality. The name is to be treated as a noun in apposition.

Males of this species can be differentiated from others by having a sinuate anterior margin of the conductor, having two branches on the MA, and a hook-shaped embolus that bisects the palpal bulb (Fig. 61). The females can also be separated from other species by having a keyhole-shaped median septum, and lateral lobes nearly touching posteriorly (Fig. 63).

Although the male and female specimens were not collected together (they were collected some 46 km apart), it seems reasonable to assume they are conspecific.
