Padillothorax

Padillothorax is a genus of southeastern Asian jumping spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1901.^[2] As of April 2019 it contains only two species.^[1]

Taxonomy

First described by Eugène Simon in 1901, Padillothorax was synonymized with Stagetillus by Jerzy Prószyński in 1987.^[1] Stagetillus was placed in the tribe Baviini, part of the Salticoida clade of the subfamily Salticinae by Wayne Maddison in 2015,^[3] on the basis of molecular phylogenetic evidence, although only a single unidentified species of Stagetillus from Selangor was included in the analysis.^[4] In 2017, Prószyński recognized the genus again, but did not include the type species, Padillothorax semiostrinus, so his action was not valid under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. He included this species in 2018, thus successfully reviving the genus. He also transferred a species included in Padillothorax by Reimoser in 1927 to a new genus Padillothorus, leaving two species in Padillothorax.^[1][5]

Species

As of January 2021, the World Spider Catalog accepted the following species:^[1]

• Padillothorax badut Maddison, 2020 – Malaysia (Borneo)
• Padillothorax casteti (Simon, 1900) – India
• Padillothorax exilis (Cao & Li, 2016) – China
• Padillothorax flavopunctus (Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2018) – Sri Lanka
• Padillothorax mulu Maddison, 2020 – Malaysia (Borneo)
• Padillothorax semiostrinus Simon, 1901 (type species) – Malaysia (peninsula), Singapore, Taiwan?
• Padillothorax taprobanicus Simon, 1902 – Sri Lanka

Notes et références

Padillothorax Simon, 1901 è un genere di ragni appartenente alla famiglia Salticidae.

Distribuzione

Le 7 specie sono state reperite in Asia sudorientale e orientale^[1].

Tassonomia

Per la descrizione delle caratteristiche di questo genere sono stati esaminati gli esemplari tipo di P. semiostrinus Simon, 1901^[1].

Considerato un sinonimo posteriore di Stagetillus Simon, 1885 a seguito di un lavoro di Prószyński del 1987 (con trasferimento della specie tipo P. semiostrinus Simon, 1901); un successivo lavoro di Prószyński (2017b) ha ripristinato Padillothorax in quanto genere, senza includervi P. semiostrinus, ritenuta invalida; un più recente lavoro di Prószyński (2018b) ha rivalidato Padillothorax includendovi la specie tipo. Infine è ritenuto sinonimo posteriore di Bavirecta Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2018 dall'aracnologo Maddison in un recente studio (Maddison et al., 2020b)^[1].

Non sono stati esaminati esemplari di questo genere dal 2020^[1].

Attualmente, a gennaio 2022, si compone di 7 specie^[1]:

• Padillothorax badut Maddison, 2020 — Malesia (Borneo)
• Padillothorax casteti (Simon, 1900) — India
• Padillothorax exilis Cao & Li, 2016 — Cina
• Padillothorax flavopunctus (Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2018) — Sri Lanka
• Padillothorax mulu Maddison, 2020 — Malesia (Borneo)
• Padillothorax semiostrinus Simon, 1901^[2] — Malesia (Borneo), Singapore, Taiwan
• Padillothorax taprobanicus Simon, 1902 — Sri Lanka
