Micromisumenops Tang & Li 2010, gen. nov.
Authors/Creators
Description
Type species. Misumenops xiushanensis Song and Chai, 1990 (♂).
Etymology. The generic name is a combination of Greek prefix micro - (means small, tiny) and Misumenops (Latinized from Greek), refers to the small sized genus which is similar to Misumenops O. P.-Cambridge, 1900; masculine in gender.
Diagnosis. Species of this genus can be separated from Misumenops (and other genera of Misumenini Simon, 1895) by: 1) the procurved AER and recurved PER (both recurved in Misumenops); 2) the small body size: ♂ 2.20– 2.30, ♀ 2.75–3.17 (usually larger body size in Misumenops); 3) the flat, caudally truncated opisthosoma in the female (opisthosoma slightly swollen, caudally sharp in Misumenops); and 4) the transverse, spatulate-shaped RTA (usually vertical in Misumenops) in the male, epigynum without hood in the female.
Description. See description of Micromisumenops xiushanensis.
Species included. Only the type species.
Remarks. This type species was placed provisionally in Misumenops by Song and Chai (1990: 370, figs 9A−E). The generic status of this species was questioned in subsequent study (Lehtinen 2005: 177). We followed Lehtinen and established Micromisumenops gen. nov. to accommodate this species.
