Preoccupied by Kinberg 1866, in Spionidae, Annelida: Polychaeta)</p> <p>Carteronius Simon, 1897: 85 (type species by original designation, C. helluo Simon, 1896).</p> <p>Mandaneta Strand, 1932: 140. Replacement name for Mandane Karsch. syn. nov.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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 1A–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 1F–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 1A–E), the specimens were re-switched to their original vials to avoid confusion in the future.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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 4A, B, 8A, B, 10A, 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 5A, B, 8C, D).</p> <p>Description. Medium to large-sized spiders, 6.03 – 13.45 mm in length.

The specific name is a Latin adjective meaning arboreal, in reference to the fact that most of the known specimens were collected by canopy fogging.</p> <p>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 8A, 10A), 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. 8B). 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 4C, 8C), but differ by the lateral plates of the epigynal posterior sector being strongly sclerotized (Fig. 8C).</p> <p>Description.

L. Fea, MNHN 22.254 —examined).</p> <p>Note. The male holotype, from Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, is here tentatively associated with a female from continental Africa (Cameroon). Bioko is a continental-shelf island that supports relatively low levels of endemism of angiosperms, bats, birds, reptiles, and amphibians when compared to oceanic islands of the Gulf of Guinea (Príncipe, São Tomé and Annobón) (Jones 2004). This island was separated from mainland Africa by the rise in sea level at the end of the last glacial period, approximately 10 000 years ago (Schabetsberger et al. 2004; PérezPérez &amp; Yu 2021). Both the Bioko and Cameroon specimens share a strikingly similar dorsal abdominal pattern (Fig. 18A, F), as well as similarities in leg spination. Nevertheless, this association must be tested when additional samples come to light. From a strictly nomenclatural point of view, proposing this doubtful association is preferable to making available a possibly unnecessary specific name.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Males of C. gentilis comb. nov. differ from all other Carteronius species in having a bifid dorsal lobe on the RTA (Fig. 19A, B). Females resemble those of C. myene sp. nov. by the slightly curved transverse ridge (Figs 14A, 19C), but differ by the relatively small posterior sector and the extremely narrow copulatory duct in relation to the spermathecae (Fig. 19C, D).</p> <p>Description.

Chelicerae nearly as long as half the length of carapace, frontal surface granulate, slightly geniculated in both sexes, unmodified in males; basal boss evident, promargin with three teeth, retromargin with two teeth (Fig. 21A). Endites convergent, promargin slightly protruded anteriorly, retromargin slightly excavated; labium sub-squared, as long as wide, slightly longer than half endite length, proximal lateral constrictions shallow. Sternum shield-shaped, slightly longer than wide; surface covered by small hair-bearing tubercles, precoxal and intercoxal sclerites present, margins well defined, especially antero-laterally. Retrocoxal hymen present (Fig. 21B, C). Leg formula: I.II.V.III. Legs long, I–II sturdier; femur I (Fig. 21D) with one dorsal spine, tibia I (Fig. 21F) with seven pairs of ventral spines, metatarsus I with two pairs of ventral spines. Tarsus I with dorsal cluster of trichobothria; tarsal organ sub-apical (Fig. 21E). Abdomen oval, dorsal and ventral scuta absent.
