Segestria canities McCook, 1890</p> <p>Emended diagnosis. After Gertsch (1958), Brignoli (1974), Platnick (1989), Grismado &amp; Ramírez (2014). Members of Diguetia resemble those of Segestrioides by the diamond-shaped endites, females with two lateral pore plates and males with wide, flattened laminate embolus, but Diguetia can be distinguished by the presence of thick white setae on the prosoma and opisthosoma (Figs 1–8, 25, 30–37, 53, 56–63, 67–74, 85–92, 103–104; absent in Segestrioides); opisthosoma usually with a middle basal band which continue caudally as two narrow scalloped bands, different pattern in Segestrioides, and the capsulated tarsal organ (Fig. 23; while in Segestrioides it is a typical flattened plate bearing concentric rings). Furthermore, the gonopore in Diguetia is wider than in Segestrioides but it is not situated on a protuberance; the male palpal bulb of Diguetia has a narrow tubular prong associated with the spoonshaped embolus (Figs 11–17, 40–46, 64–65, 77–82, 95–100; absent in Segestrioides). The females have a single longitudinal oriented membranous median sac (Figs 10, 18–19, 39, 47–48, 76, 94) of unknown function, although Brignoli (1974: 258) refers it as single medial spermatheca; such structure is absent in Segestrioides. Moreover, Diguetia species spin extensive aerial webs in shrubs and cacti with vertical retreats, whereas Segestrioides species dwell under rocks (Platnick 1989).</p> <p>Composition.

(CARCIB-Ar 0211); same data as holotype, 2♀ (CARCIB-Ar 0210); same data as holotype, 1♀ (CARCIB-Ar 0004).</p> <p>Etymology. The specific name is a noun taken from the type locality.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Diguetia balandra sp. nov. resembles D. canities, D. dialectica stat. reval., and D. stridulans by having an opisthosoma with a middle dorsal band with two posterior scalloped white bands (Figs 2, 6) but in D. canities these bands are flanked with darker bands (Gertsch, 1958: fig. 1), in D. dialectica stat. reval. the scalloped bands are thin (Figs 31, 35, 59, 62), and in D. stridulans the opisthosoma has distinctive long, coarse setae. Moreover, D. balandra sp. nov. differs from D. canities and D. dialectica stat. reval. in the leg formula 4123 instead of 1423. The ring pattern of legs of D. balandra sp. nov. and D. dialectica stat. reval. are attenuate (Figs 28–29; 54–55), while in D. canities it is well-marked, and the rings are absent in D. stridulans. Females of D. balandra sp. nov. have conspicuous long, thick macrosetae on metatarsus IV (Figs 24, 29), while D. canities, D. stridulans, and D. dialectica stat. reval. have short and thin macrosetae as in other species. The membranous median sac of D. balandra sp. nov. and D. dialectica stat. reval. are similar, but the sac of the former is longer (Fig. 10), while in D. canities the apical portion is subspherical (Gertsch, 1958: fig. 18). Moreover, the male bulb prong in D. balandra sp. nov. is shorter (half the length of embolus, see Figs 13, 16) than in D. canities and D. dialectica stat. reval., which is more than half the length of the embolus (Figs 42, 45; Gertsch, 1958: fig. 16). The embolus tip of D. balandra sp. nov. and D. canities are similar (Figs 13, 16, 17), as both lack the tip attenuated and bent as in D. dialectica stat. reval. (Fig. 41).</p> <p>Description.

AME–ALE 0.09–0.19, AME–PME 0.13–0.16.</p> <p>Remarks. Live specimens of D. balandra sp. nov. have bodies covered with white setae, which usually fall off after capture (see Fig. 25). Diguetia stridulans was described on the basis of a single female from Mejía Island, Baja California (currently deposited at CAS collection). According to Chamberlin (1924: 590–591) and Gertsch (958: 24) this is a distinctive species that readily separated it from other species as mentioned above (diagnosis). Furthermore, the ratio of the first leg to the carapace of D. stridulans is longer than in the other species, and the stridulating file on chelicerae is composed of fine and coarse striae (Chamberlin 1924, Gertsch 1958). The holotype is in poor condition (Gertsch 1958: 24) and needs further study, but the characters above allow us to distinguish it from D. balandra sp. nov..</p> <p>Distribution. Known only from the type locality (See Fig. 109).</p> <p>Natural history. Diguetia balandra sp. nov. is found on hills near the seashore (Fig. 106) where they spin tiny webs between rocks and low vegetation in sarcocaule shrublands (Fig. 27). Due to the small web, which are built 5 cm above the ground (mean distance) with retreats covered with sandy material, and small corporal size, D. balandra sp. nov. is usually imperceptible (Fig. 26). The web is characteristic of Diguetia. It has a polyhedron form with four irregular sides and consists of a horizontal silk sheet with irregular tangles of threads above and below the sheet. At the center there is a vertical inverted cone-shaped retreat covered with numerous sand grains adhered with silk, which is closed at the top and open at the bottom. Female retreat size: 13.8–19.4 high and 2.24–6.5 wide at bottom (n=8), males: 12.5–15.5 high and 4.7–5.2 wide at bottom (n=2). This retreat is held up at the top by thick silk threads adhered to the adjacent rocks; the lower side attached to the horizontal silk sheet. The retreat exterior is covered with sandy grains while the interior is covered with a thick layer of silk, which is thicker in females retreat (like a spongy mesh) than males. The lenticular egg sacs (2–4) are sheltered inside and line up from the bottom to the top, and usually placed in one side of the retreat. Males and females rest inside during the day covering the entrance with the opisthosoma.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038987B6FFBEFF95D0CDFA30FE58FA1A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Diguetia dialectica stat. reval. resembles D. balandra sp. nov. and D. canities in having a middorsal band flanked by two scalloped white bands on the abdomen, but D. dialectica stat. reval. has the middle dorsal band lighter, and the posterior scalloped bands are thinner than in D. balandra sp. nov. and D. canities (Figs 31, 35, 59, 62). Moreover, the dorsal band is not flanked with darker bands as in D. canities. The leg formula (4123) and ring pattern of D. dialectica stat. reval. and D. canities are similar, but the submedian ring of the former is diffuse to indistinct, while the ring patterns of D. canities are well marked, and D. balandra sp. nov. lacks such ring on tibiae and has a different leg formula (4123). The embolus tip of D. dialectica stat. reval. is attenuated and slightly bent (Figs 41, 46) while the embolus tip of D. balandra sp. nov. and D. canities is not bent. Moreover, the bulb of D. dialectica stat. reval. and D. canities has a small bulge near the bulb prong (Figs 42, 45; Gertsch, 1958, fig. 16), whereas the bulge of D. balandra sp. nov. is less pronounced. Furthermore, the median membranous sac of D. dialectica stat. reval. and D. balandra sp. nov. are slightly longer than wide (Figs 10, 39), but the sac of the latter is longer (Fig. 39), while in D. canities the apical portion of the sac is subspherical (Gertsch, 1958: figs 18–19). The male opisthosoma of D. dialectica stat. reval. sometimes has a subtle caudal extension (Figs 31, 33, 61–63), whereas in D. balandra sp. nov. and D. canities it is absent (Figs 2, 4).</p> <p>Description. Male (CARCIB-Ar 04633). Coloration: carapace dark yellow with sparse black setae, and with two bands of white setae, which run from the ocular area and converge at the inconspicuous fovea, eyes with black rings. Carapace margins, clypeus, and sides next to coxae with white setae (scales) (Fig. 30). Endites yellow with sparse white setae and margins darker. Labium dark yellow and sternum dark brown, both with sparse white setae, and sternum with margins dark (Fig. 32). Legs I–II dark yellow without rings, Fm II darker distally, and Pt II darker. Legs III–IV light yellow, Fm III–IV, Ti III–IV and Mt III–IV with a distal ring, Pt III–IV darker, Ti III–IV with a submedian diffuse ring (arrow in Fig. 54). Dorsum and sides of opisthosoma grey, covered with white setae, and sparse dark setae, dorsum with a longitudinal dark band, broadened posteriorly with a wavy margin and bordered with thin bands of white setae (Fig. 31). Venter of opisthosoma dark grey with sparse white setae, epigastric area, and spinnerets darker (Fig. 33). Habitus: carapace suboval, cephalic region narrower than thoracic. The stridulatory file of chelicerae occupies almost all lateral face. Promargin of chelicerae with a transparent lamina and one tooth; retromargin with two teeth. Labium, endites and sternum longer than wide. Ta and Mt without scopula. Ta I with capsulate tarsal organ and slit sensilla (Fig. 50), paired claws pectinate with 10 teeth. Opisthosoma with a small caudal extension (arrow in Figs 31, 33).

Nevertheless, we studied photographs of the female holotype (CAS), which is in bad conditions, and examined the male and female specimens (MCZ) studied by Gertsch (1958: 13–14) and we concluded that Chamberlin (1924) was right and this species should be considered a separate and related species to D. canities. Therefore, we propose to elevate it to species rank as originally proposed by Chamberlin (1924: 591).</p> <p>Distribution. MEXICO: Baja California, Baja California Sur, including Espiritu Santo Island and Carmen Island (Gertsch 1958; see Fig. 109).</p> <p>Natural history. Webs of D. dialectica stat. reval. are found between branches of “palo Brazil ” (Haematoxylum brasiletto), “palo Adán” (Fouquieria diguetii), “pitaya dulce” (Stenocereus thurberi), “cholla” (Opuntia cholla) and “mala mujer” (Cnidoscolus angustides) in low deciduous forest of Sierra La Gata (Fig. 107), Baja California Sur. The web is typical of Diguetia (Fig. 51) and is usually found at 0.50–1.60 m above ground (n=16), but some were found at 3.0 m above ground between branches of “palo Brazil ” (n=3). The web and retreat are similar to those built by D. balandra sp. nov. but are covered with dead leaves, small twigs, and dead prey such as ants, leafhoppers, grasshoppers, and moths (Fig. 52). The retreats are 4.2–12.0 cm long and 0.57–0.91 cm wide at bottom (n=16). The lenticular egg sacs (1–13) are layered as the same way as D. balandra sp. nov. inside of the retreat and the female also rests during the day covering the entrance with its opisthosoma. We did not find a male’s web, but two of them were captured in the female webs. The white setae (scales) are more conspicuous in live specimens (Fig. 53).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038987B6FFBAFF98D0CDFA1AFAF1FCDA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Diguetia imperiosa resembles D. mojavea in having the carapace and opisthosoma clothed almost uniformly with white setae, but the former has white setae interspersed with black ones (Figs 85–86, 89–90), and by having legs rings distinct on both sexes, especially the tibial submedian ring (Figs 101), whereas in D. mojavea these rings are lighter and the tibial submedian ring is often indistinct in females. Males of both species have the bulb narrowed and lengthened apically, but D. imperiosa has the relatively long bulb prong well-attached to the embolus base (Figs 97–98, 100), whereas in D. mojavea, the prong is smaller and not attached to the embolus base. Female genitalia of both species have similar anterior and posterior sclerotization shapes, and the median sac is longer than wide, but D. imperiosa has the apical portion of the median sac subspherical and slightly wider than the basal one (Fig. 94) while in D. mojavea the apical portion is about as wide as the basal one (not illustrated).</p> <p>Description. See Gertsch (1958). Male (Figs 85–88, 95–101).

Furthermore, all specimen records of D. canities mulaiki Gertsch, 1958 are under D. canities, because this subspecies is probably a junior synonym of the nominate species due to minor morphological differences (see Gertsch 1958: 12–13).</p> <p>The genus Diguetia has a wide distribution in North America, mainly in the arid zones, from the Mojave Basin and Range (Nevada, US) to the north, to the Balsas depression (Guerrero, Mexico) to the south (Figs 109–110, 113–114). Diguetia canities has the widest latitudinal distribution in North America (United States and Mexico), followed by D. propinqua, D. albolineata, and D. imperiosa (Figs 109–110). In contrast, D. mojavea seems restricted to the Mojave and Sonoran Desert, while Diguetia dialectica stat. reval., D. stridulans, and D. balandra sp. nov. seem to be endemic species of the Baja California Peninsula (Figs 109–110). This Peninsula harbors several dozens of endemics species as a consequence of the isolated geographic process of rifting and separation from the Mexican mainland 5.5 Ma ago (Riddle et al. 2000; González-Trujillo et al. 2016), as well as later geological events (3–1 million years) and climatic changes of the Pleistocene-Holocene (Riddle et al. 2000; Hafner &amp; Riddle 2005; Garrick et al. 2013).</p> <p>Furthermore, Diguetia canities (47.1%), D. signata (16.3%), and D. imperiosa (12.4) have the greatest number of records in North America, while D. andersoni, D. balandra sp. nov. and D. stridulans had the lowest number of records (Fig. 111). The ecoregions with most records of Diguetia, in decreasing order, are the Sonoran Desert, Chihuahuan Desert, Madrean Archipelago, California Coastal Sage, Chaparral, and Oak Woodlands, Arizona / New Mexico Mountains, Mojave Basin and Range, and Baja Californian Desert (Fig. 112). The principal climates of such ecoregions are dry desert, dry subtropical steppe, and Mediterranean climates. The most common vegetation includes large areas of cacti, chaparral, shrub-steppe, arid shrublands, desert grasslands, and patches of oak and pine woodlands at higher elevations. Most ecoregions (level III) with records of Diguetia are nested within North American Deserts, Temperate Sierras, and Great Plains ecoregions (level I) (Fig. 112).</p> <p>Southwestern states of the US and northwestern of Mexico have high richness of species, especially California and Sonora with five species each. This richness decreases to the east and south; for example, Tamaulipas and Guerrero (Mexico) have one and two species respectively (Fig. 113). In North America, the Sonoran ecoregion (level III) have the highest richness of species of Diguetia with six species, followed by the Chihuahuan Desert and Mediterranean California ecoregions with five species each (Fig. 114). Moreover, Diguetia species can be found from sea level to high elevations (10–2,731m). The following species have a broad altitude range: D. canities (20–2,731m), D. albolineata (10–2,451m), D. propinqua (515–2,451m), D. imperiosa (32–1,966m), and D. signata (10–1,915m).</p> <p>Diguetia imperiosa is here recorded for the first time in Baja California Sur. Diguetia signata, previously known from Arizona, California, and Nevada (U.S. A), is recorded from xeric shrub habitats of Baja California Sur and Chihuahua (Mexico) (Table 1, Fig. 110). We could not examine the female type of D. stridulans Chamberlin, 1924, but to our knowledge the type is in poor condition (see Gertsch 1958), and the male is still unknown. In our opinion, a reexamination of the genitalic morphology of broadly distributed species is needed because it could reveal cryptic species. Moreover, the diversity of the genus could be higher because large areas within the known distribution of North American diguetids remain undersampled.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038987B6FFAEFF80D0CDFF62FCCDFBB2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
