Four new species of the jumping spider genus Cytaea Keyserling, 1882 (Araneae: Salticidae) from Australia and New Guinea.
Abstract
Four new species of the euophryine jumping spider genus Cytaea Keyserling, 1882 (Araneae: Salticidae) are described from Australia and New Guinea: C. arche sp. nov. (♀), C. aoide sp. nov. (♀), C. melete sp. nov. (♀), and C. telksinoe sp. nov. (♀). Diagnostic illustrations, photographs, and measurements are provided for all species. The discovery of these taxa contributes to a better understanding of the species diversity and distribution of the genus Cytaea in the Australasian region.
