E3D438F8949B5458A9A0F4157C31CF1E.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name is a patronym after Norman Larsen (Cape Town, South Africa) who kindly provided us with the macro-photographs of the preceding Ikuma species.	en	Zonstein, Sergei, Marusik, Yuri M. (2022): Redescription of the poorly known genus Ikuma Lawrence, with synonymy and description of a new species from Namibia (Araneae, Palpimanidae).

E3D438F8949B5458A9A0F4157C31CF1E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Ikuma larseni sp. nov. can be distinguished from I. spiculosa by the colouration and pubescence (carapace with densest pubescence along margins vs. in subcentral part of the carapace); the new species has a uniformly pale abdomen vs. bicolorous in I. spiculosa (Fig. 2 A, C cf. Fig. 1). The interdistance AME-AME is longer than AME-ALE in I. larseni sp. nov. and shorter in I. spiculosa. Since characters of I. spiculosa seem to be based on the juvenile or subadult specimens, the comparison of the copulatory organs remains impossible.	en	Zonstein, Sergei, Marusik, Yuri M.

Colour in alcohol: carapace and chelicerae dark carmine red; maxillae, coxae I-IV and abdominal scuta light to intensely orange; palp and legs I-IV from femora to tarsi pale yellowish orange (leg I slightly darker than legs II-IV, with more noticeable difference between corresponding tibiae and metatarsi); sternum, labium and pedicel tube medium carmine red; abdomen very pale yellowish orange, dorsally with large slightly darker oval median marking; spinnerets yellowish white. Carapace and abdomen laterally covered with dense flattened and adpressed whitish pubescence. Measurements: TL 11.15. CL 4.81, CW 3.22, CyL 0.56 (0.43), Femur I L / W 2.29 (3.41 / 1.49).

Spinnerets as shown in Fig. 7 B. Copulatory organs: as in Figs 5 C-F, 6. Endogyne weakly sclerotized (unlike partially heavy-sclerotized one in Palpimanus spp.); main supporting structure, wide trapezoidal endogynal fold (Rf), carries two lateral apophyses (La); membranous sacs of receptacles (Rs) bell-shaped, about as long as wide, each receptacle accompanied by brushes of fine threads (Ft) and approximately 7 - 8 grape-shaped glands (Gg), glands with stalks about as long as head, pore glands indiscernible (seems absent). Leg measurements: female NMSA-SPI- 26895 (male NMSA-SPI- 26894 in brackets): Male. NMSA-SPI- 26894 (paratype). Habitus: as in Fig. 2 C, D. Colour in alcohol: as in female, but coxae I-IV evenly orange and tarsus I pale yellow, much lighter than metatarsus I. Measurements: TL 12.37. CL 5.78, CW 3.95, CyL 0.29, Femur I L / W 1.91 (4.23 / 2.21). Carapace: longer, with slightly coarser granulations than in female (Fig. 3 D). Eyes (Fig. 3 E): AME 0.28, ALE 0.18, PME 0.15, PLE 0.14; AME-AME 0.22, AME-ALE 0.12, AME-PME 0.34, ALE-PLE 0.46, PLE-PME 0.22, PME-PME 0.35. Mouthparts: as in female (see Fig. 4 B). Legs I-IV: metatarsi and tarsi armed with long ventral bristles as in female (Fig. 7 C); claw tufts and dentition as in female. Abdominal sclerites: epigastral scutum with clearly darkened book-lungs; postgaster with two large long subtriangular scuta (distinguishable in form from the corresponding scuta in other palpimanids), and two pairs of dot-like scuta (see Fig. 4 E). Copulatory organs: Palp as shown in Figs 7 D, 8. Femur nearly 3 times longer than wide, 1.5 times longer than cymbium and tibia, 2.3 times longer than patella; patella elongate, 1.5 times longer than wide; tibia elongate, not swollen, length / maximal width ratio ca. 1.6, subequal in length to cymbium, covered with dense and long whitish setae; cymbium about twice longer than wide; bulb droplet-shaped; tegulum as wide as long, lacking any processes (apophyses), retrolateral part of tegulum membranous; embolic division with 2 outgrowths: slightly bent spine-like chitinized embolic process (Ep), sigmoid in anterior view (see Fig. 8 A), and membranous embolus (Em).	en	Zonstein, Sergei, Marusik, Yuri M.

4ECD3B3445245A948E555499D06E8CE1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. There are a number of significant differences between Ikuma spiculosa and I. larseni sp. nov. It concerns the coloration of the abdomen (contrastingly bicolorous vs. uniformly pale), position of the appressed pubescence on the carapace (mostly subcentral vs. sublateral), and the relative length of interdistance AME-AME (longer than AME-ALE vs. shorter than AME-ALE).	en	Zonstein, Sergei, Marusik, Yuri M.
