Arachnologische Mitteilungen 57

Arachnologische Mitteilungen / Arachnology Letters 57: 89-91 Karlsruhe, April 2019 Salticidae is the most speciose family of spiders with 6115 extant species (WSC 2019). During the last few years several of the most species-rich genera like Evarcha Simon, 1902, Myrmarachne MacLeay, 1839, Sitticus Simon, 1901 and Ylle- nus Simon, 1868 have been split by Prószyński (2016, 2017a, 2018).Although many of the new genera were based on earlier recognized species groups, the format of the descriptions does not follow common standards, i.e. they lack proper diagnoses (cf. Kropf et al. 2019), and ignored previously described sub- genera or earlier established synonymies (Blick & Marusik 2018). Prószyński (2016, 2017a, 2017b, 2018) did not list or discuss any synonyms mentioned in the WSC (2018) or older catalogues. Furthermore he did not take biogeography into account. While studying the taxonomy and nomenclature of these newly erected genera, we previously found three generic synonyms (Blick & Marusik 2018). Further studies revealed two more subjective generic synonyms, as well as confusing transfers and a dubious genus description. New synonymies Pseudomogrus Simon, 1937, removed from syn. of Yllenus Simon, 1868 Pseudomogrus Simon, 1937: 1185, 1194 (type Attus uni-vitta- tus Simon, 1871). Yllenus Simon, 1868 (type Y. arenarius Simon, 1868): Prószyński 1968: 415 (synonymy of Pseudomogrus ). Logunyllus Prószyński, 2016: 29 (type Attus albocinctus Krone- berg, 1875), syn. nov. New and revalidated combinations . Simon (1937) placed two species in Pseudomogrus : P. univittatus and P. saliens (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1876). Prószyński (1968) synonymized Pseudomogrus with Yllenus , but Prószyński (2016) placed both, P. univittatus and P. saliens , into Logunyllus and therefore Lo- gunyllus is considered a subjective junior synonym of Pseu- domogrus , re-established and removed from synonymy with Yllenus , and 31 new and two revalidated combinations are proposed (distribution information from the WSC 2019):  1) Pseudomogrus albifrons (Lucas, 1846) comb. nov. (North Africa, Middle East)  2) Pseudomogrus albocinctus (Kroneberg, 1875) comb. nov. (Turkey to China)  3) Pseudomogrus algarvensis (Logunov & Marusik, 2003) comb. nov.

Two generic names recently described by J. Prószyński were found to be junior subjective synonyms: Pseudomogrus Simon, 1937 = Logunyllus Prószyński, 2016 syn. nov. , Hermosa Peckham & Peckham, 1892 = Myrmavola Prószyński, 2016 syn. nov. This causes numerous new and a few revalidated combinations. The systematics of Myrmarachne MacLeay, 1839 s. lat. is briefly discussed as well as other recent nomenclatorical acts by J. Prószyński. Keywords: Afraflacilla , Hasarina , Hermosa, Iberattus, Logunyllus, Myrmarachne, Myrmavola, Nigorella , Pseudicius, Pseudomogrus, Savaiia , Yllenus Zusammenfassung. Weitere neue Synonyme von Springspinnengattungen (Araneae: Salticidae). Zwei Gattungen, die jüngst von J. Prószyński beschrieben wurden, stellten sich als subjektive jüngere Synonyme heraus: Pseudomogrus Simon, 1937 = Logunyllus Prószyński, 2016 syn. nov. , Hermosa Peckham & Peckham, 1892 = Myrmavola Prószyński, 2016 syn. nov. Dies bedingt zahlreiche neue und wenige revalidierte Kombinationen. Weiterhin werden die Systematik von Myrmarachne MacLeay, 1839 s. lat. und weitere aktuelle nomenklatorische Aktionen von J. Prószyński kurz diskutiert. Yuri M.
