Three Cladothela species have been recorded in the Ryukyu Islands, namely: C. auster Kamura, 1997; C. parva Kamura, 1991; C. oculinotata (Bösenberg and Strand, 1906) (Shimojana 1977, 1981; Kamura 1991, 1997; Tanikawa and Sasaki 1999).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CC87B0FF84281BFE84D9C5FAA3FE90	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Nakama leg.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific name refers to the bicolored body of the holotype.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Cladothela bicolor sp. nov. bears flattened cheliceral fangs and endites, with dense short stiff bristles (Fig. 1C–I), a character shared with C. auster and C. oculinotata (Kamura 1991, 1997). However, female of C. bicolor sp. nov. can be distinguished from both species based on the following unique characteristics: an elliptical, transversely wider copulatory openings surrounded with distinctive sclerotized ridges [vs. ridges located on mesial and anterior sides of copulatory openings in C. auster; mesial and posterior sides in C. oculinotata; Figs 2K, L, 3A vs. fig. 3 in Kamura (1997) and figs 30, 31 in Kamura (1991)]; copulatory ducts as wide as and 2.5 times as tall as spermathecae, and curved, and close to each other before inserting to spermathecae [vs. copulatory ducts straight and narrower than spermatheca width in C. auster and 1.5 times as tall as spermathecae and bent before inserting to spermathecae in C. oculinotata; Figs 2M, 3B (CD) vs. fig. 4 in Kamura (1997) and fig. 32 in Kamura (1991)]; spermathecae close to each other [vs. further apart from each other in C. auster and C. oculinotata; Figs 2M, 3 vs. fig. 4 in Kamura (1997) and fig. 32 in Kamura (1991)]. Male of C. bicolor sp. nov. can be distinguished from C. auster and C. oculinotata by the following characteristics of male palps: embolus relatively thin (embolus width/length 0.056) [vs. relatively thicker in C. auster: embolus width/length 0.106; and thinner in C. oculinotata: embolus width/length 0.032; Figs 2Q, 3D vs. fig. 1 in Kamura (1997) and fig. 26 in Kamura (1991)], conductor with a dark-colored distinct angular ridge on the retrolateral margin, and base of the conductor having a wide, whitish, non-sclerotized membranous region [vs. conductor having a sclerotized lobe-like structure in C. auster, ridge on retrolateral margin of conductor rounded in C. oculinotata; Figs 2P–R, 3C–E vs. fig. 1 in Kamura (1997) and fig. 26 in Kamura (1991)]; tegulum very weakly protruded [vs. strongly protruded in C. oculinotata; Figs 2R, 3E vs. fig. 27 in Kamura (1991)].</p> <p>Live individuals of C. bicolor sp. nov. possess a clear bicolor body: vivid red prosoma and black abdomen (Fig. 1A, B), readily to distinguish the new species from its congeners, which possess uniformly dark reddish brown or dark brown body color.</p> <p>Description.

Internal genitalia (Figs 2M, 3B): copulatory ducts massive, elongated, curved, contiguous before inserting to spermathecae; lateral glands attenuating transversely; spermathecae globular, juxtaposed; fertilization ducts arising from mesial sides of spermathecae.</p> <p>Coloration (Fig. 1). Carapace vividly red in live individuals, and reddish brown in specimens preserved in alcohol. Mouthparts and sternum reddish brown.

Abdomen 2.91 long, 1.79 wide, 1.33 high.</p> <p>Carapace, mouthparts, and legs as in females. Chelicerae as long as wide (length/width 1.28) with 3 promarginal teeth, retromarginal teeth absent. Palp (Figs 2N–R, 3C–E): femur slightly longer than cymbium (femur length/cymbial length 1.40); base of femoral spine positioned slightly upper than half of femur (distance between basal margin of palpal femur and base of femoral spine/femoral length 0.60); patella longer than tibia (patella length/tibia length 1.50); cymbium longer than wide (length/width 1.68); base of conductor with a wide, whitish, non-sclerotized membranous region; conductor with hooked tip, dark-colored, distinct angular ridge on retrolateral margin (triangular outgrowth); embolus moderately long, weakly twisted, emerging from prolateral base of tegulum.

Specimens were collected from litter layers and under stones in primary and secondary broad-leaf forests.</p> <p>Distribution. Okinawa Islands (Sesoko, Okinawa and Kume Islands), Japan.</p> <p>Note. Males and females are regarded conspecific because of the similarity in body color and morphology of cheliceral fangs and endites.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CC87B0FF84281EFC18DAC2FBF3FB7C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The specific name is an adjective (“longhanded” in Latin) refers to the elongated palps of males in the species.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Micaria longimana sp. nov. closely resem-bles M. dives in general appearance and elongated male palps, but can be distinguished based on the following characters: spines on the prolateral side of cymbium and palpal tibia relatively thicker (vs. relatively thin in M. dives; Fig. 5B, C, cf. Fig. 5E); blunt, membranous median apophysis locat-ed on distal end of the bulb (vs. MA thin and apophysis with hook-like tip in M. dives; Figs 5A–C, 6A–C, cf. Fig. 5D–F); TA short, blunt and very weakly developed (vs. TA distinctively developed in M. dives; Fig. 6A, cf. Fig. 5D); bulb thinner and shorter in relation to the cymbium length (PBT/ CL 0.218, PBL/CL 0.465 in M. longimana sp. nov. vs. PBT/ CL 0.401, PBL/CL 0.670 in M. dives; Figs 5B, 6B vs. Fig. 5E); palpal tibia longer in relation to the cymbium length (PTL/ CL 1.014 in M. longimana sp. nov. vs. PTL/CL 0.792 in M. dives; Fig. 5A, B vs. Fig. 5D, E); AEM absent (vs. present in M. dives; cf. Fig. 5G, cf. Fig. 5H) and a pair of short transverse furrows at CO (vs. longitudinal furrows in M. dives; Fig. 5G, cf. Fig. 5H); CD positioned at anterior side of internal genitalia and inserted to anterior-mesial side of Sp (vs. CO and Sp are close to each other and CD inserted to posterior-mesial side of Sp in M. dives; Fig. 5G, I, J, cf. Fig. 5H; Fig. 6D, E).</p> <p>Micaria pulcherrima Caporiacco, 1935, M. formicaria (Sundevall, 1831) and M. yeniseica Marusik and Koponen, 2002 also possess elongated male palpal tibia, but can easily be distinguished from M. longimana sp. nov. by having distinctive TA (Yin et al. 2012: fig. 636E–G; Tuneva 2007: figs 36–38; Marusik et al. 2002: figs 1, 2). Micaria atropatene Zamani and Marusik, 2021 also has a similar palp but differs by lacking strong spines on prolateral side of cymbium and tibia, and bearing a distal tegular process (Zamani and Marusik 2021: fig. 8A, B).</p> <p>Description.
