03FAED38F038FF9456CEFA4AF5FBF837.taxon	discussion	Notes on the identity of Carteronius. Simon (1896) described four species of Carteronius: C. helluo (the type species), C. vittiger, C. scriptus, and C. fuscus. The first three species were described from males only, and C. fuscus from a female. The type locality is Sierra Leone for C. helluo, Madagascar for C. vittiger and C. scriptus, and Mauritius for C. fuscus. Based on Simon’s original Latin descriptions, the male of C. helluo can be considered to differ significantly from the males of C. vittiger and C. scriptus: it has a strongly rugose cephalothorax, granulose chelicerae, anterior tibiae with six short ventral spine pairs, anterior metatarsi with four long ventral spine pairs, a male palpal tibia that is only slightly longer than the patella, a large, lamelliform, bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis and an oval, blunt cymbium. Carteronius vittiger and C. scriptus both have an almost smooth cephalothorax and smooth chelicerae, anterior tibiae with four long ventral spine pairs, anterior metatarsi with two long ventral spine pairs, a male palpal tibia that is longer than the patella, a small, sharp and simple retrolateral tibial apophysis, and a very elongate, curved cymbium that is much longer than the bulbus itself. Simon (1897) presented the genus description of Carteronius, transferred Cheiracanthium argenticomum Keyserling, 1877 to the new genus (pp. 79 – 80), and synonymized C. scriptus with C. argenticomus (p. 83). Upon consulting the MNHN collection (Paris) and studying the type specimens of Simon’s four species, it turned out that the vial of the type species C. helluo did not contain the specimen corresponding with Simon’s original description. Instead, this vial, labeled Clubionidae — Carteronius E. S. helluo E. S. 10.611 Sierra Leone: Free town, contained a smooth male specimen with four and two ventral spine pairs on the anterior tibiae and metatarsi, respectively, as well as a male palp with a long tibia and cymbium and a simple retrolateral tibial apophysis, as described in Simon (1896) for C. vittiger and C. scriptus (Figs 1 A – E; both here transferred to Donuea, the latter under D. argenticoma). On the other hand, the C. scriptus vial, labeled Clubionidae — Carteronius E. S. scriptus E. S. 14.625 Diego Suares, contained a rugose male specimen with six and four ventral spine pairs on the anterior tibiae and metatarsi, as well a male palp with a short tibia, a blunt cymbium, and a bifid retrolateral tibial apophysis, as described in Simon (1896) for C. helluo (Figs 1 F – J). It must be concluded that the type specimen of C. helluo has been accidentally switched with the type specimen of C. scriptus. After proper photographic documentation (Fig 1 A – E), the specimens were re-switched to their original vials to avoid confusion in the future. The C. vittiger vial, labeled Clubionidae — Carteronius E. S. vittiger E. S. 10.188 Diego Suares, can still be assumed to contain the correct male type specimen, as it has a spider that corresponds in detail with Simon’s original (1896) description of this species. The C. vittiger type specimen is slightly smaller than the C. scriptus type, having a brown cephalothorax, with a darker eye region and two dark dentate bands, brown chelicerae, and a male palpal tibia that is longer than the patella. The abdomen of the C. vittiger type is completely bleached and can no longer be compared with Simon’s description of its markings. The C. scriptus type has lost its coloration over time, but it can be recognized by the more robust chelicerae and the more robust ventral spines on the anterior tibiae and a male palpal tibia that is only slightly longer than the patella.	en	Eb.

03FAED38F038FF9456CEFA4AF5FBF837.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Members of the genus Carteronius share with those of Bunyoronius gen. nov. the trilobulated RTA, with an apical spur inserted in the base of the ventral lobe, a sperm duct with a single ventral fold, and the basally widened, curved embolus surrounding the tegular margins. They can be readily recognized by the absence of modifications on the male palpal femur (with a large apical retrolateral apophysis in Bunyoronius gen. nov.); the ventral fold of sperm duct oriented prolaterally (retro-dorsally in Bunyoronius gen. nov.); a hook-shaped median apophysis inserted retro-apically in a deep, wide circular pit (vestigial in Bunyoronius gen. nov.); and embolus inserted retrolaterally with a narrow tip (basally inserted, with a wide tip in Bunyoronius gen. nov.) (Figs 4 A, B, 8 A, B, 10 A, B). Females can be recognized by the epigynal plate divided by a single transversal ridge, delimiting posterior and anterior sectors (two lateral longitudinal ridges, delimiting a median atrium in Bunyoronius gen. nov.); epigynal posterior sector with two lateral plates; and copulatory openings oriented posteriorly (oriented anteriorly in Bunyoronius gen. nov.) (Figs 5 A, B, 8 C, D).	en	Eb. Bonaldo, Ramírez, Martín J., Om. Labarque, Shimano, Yulie, Silva-Junior, Cláudio J., Haddad, Charles R.

Males of C. sudanus comb. nov. resemble those of C. lumumba sp. nov. by the absence of a retrolateral apical tegular process and by the bifid embolus tip (Figs 4 A, 16 B), but differ by the chelicerae with a frontal anterior excavation (Fig. 2 A), the wider proximal half of embolus, and by the short distal loop of the spermatic duct, which is restricted to the middle of the bulb (Fig. 4 A). Females resemble those of C. arboreus sp. nov. by the strongly recurved epigynal transversal ridge (Figs 4 C, 8 C), but differ by the lateral plates of the posterior sector not being sclerotized (Fig. 4 C).	en	Eb.

03FAED38F030FF9C56CEF9D8F45FFD83.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males of Carteronius arboreus sp. nov. are similar to those of C. ashanti sp. nov. by the presence of a sub-apical embolar process (Figs 8 A, 10 A), but differ by the dorsal lobe of the RTA, which is broad and retrolaterally oriented, and the rounded medial lobe, which is small in relation to the dorsal lobe, and share the same base (Fig. 8 B). In C. ashanti sp. nov., the dorsal lobe is spoon-shaped and the medial lobe longer and fang-shaped, with its own base. Females resemble those of C. sudanus comb. nov. in the strongly recurved epigynal transversal ridge (Figs 4 C, 8 C), but differ by the lateral plates of the epigynal posterior sector being strongly sclerotized (Fig. 8 C).	en	Eb.

03FAED38F028FF8556CEFE82F3B7FBBB.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males of Carteronius lumumba sp. nov. resemble those of C. sudanus comb. nov. by the absence of a retrolateral apical tegular process and by the bifid tip of the embolus (Figs 4 A, 16 B), but differ by the narrower proximal half of the embolus and by the long spermatic duct, which touches the apical margin of the bulb (Fig. 16 B). Females of C. lumumba sp. nov. are similar to those of C. simoni sp. nov. by the inconspicuous lateral plates of the posterior epigynal sector (Figs 16 D, 17 C), but can be recognized by the narrower, convergent copulatory ducts (Fig. 16 D).	en	Eb.

Members of the genus Bunyoronius gen. nov. share with those of Carteronius the trilobulated RTA, with an apical spur inserted in the base of the ventral lobe, sperm duct with a single ventral fold, and the basally widened, curved embolus surrounding tegular margins. They can be readily recognized by large apical retrolateral femoral apophysis, ventral fold of sperm duct oriented retro-dorsally; median apophysis absent, pit vestigial; embolus inserted basally, with wide bifid tip (Figs 22 A – C, 23 A – C, F – I). Females can be recognized by the epigynal plate divided by two lateral, longitudinal ridges, forming a median atrium, and by the copulatory openings oriented anteriorly (Fig. 22 D, E).	en	Eb.
