Huey et al. leg.; WAM T135591.</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>Males of Missulena davidi sp. nov. share the red colouration of chelicerae and pars cephalica with M. langlandsi Harms and Harvey, 2013, M. occataria Walckenaer, 1805, M. insignis O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1877, M. iugum sp. nov. and M. manningensis sp. nov. that are morphologically most similar. They differ from M. langlandsi by having strong, conical spines of the rastellum (thin and not conical in the former) and a longer carapace (&gt;3.00 mm; M. langlandsi up to 2.8 mm). They differ from M. occataria and M. insignis by having spines on patellae III and IV only and not on all four legs (on patellae I and II 1 spine, respectively). Missulena davidi sp. nov. males have more cuspules on maxillae and labium than those of M. manningensis sp. nov. (M. manningensis sp. nov.: 5 at labium, 30 at maxillae; M. davidi sp. nov.: 15-10 at labium, 35-100 at maxillae). Missulena davidi sp. nov. males differ from M. iugum sp. nov. by the ridge present in the cheliceral groove. Females of Missulena davidi sp. nov. have uniformly red chelicerae that they share with M. insignis; however, the fourth leg of M. davidi sp. nov. is the longest of all legs, whilst in M. insignis the longest leg is the first. Additionally, there are no cuspules recorded on the labium or the maxillae in M. insignis females.</p> <p>Description.</p> <p>MALE (based on holotype; WAM T119725). Total length 9.8.

Formula: 4&gt;2&gt;3&gt;1.</p> <p>Etymology.</p> <p>The specific epithet is a patronym in honour of the senior author’s husband, David A. Greenberg.</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Pilbara region of Western Australia, excluding the northern Pilbara subregion, extending into the Little Sandy Desert region. The known linear range of this species is 295 km (Fig. 7).</p> <p>Genetic structure.</p> <p>The species is highly structured across its range with four genetic clades that have sympatric distributions (Figs 2, 7).</p> <p>Remarks.</p> <p>This species had been labelled “MYG045” in previous barcoding studies (Castalanelli et al. 2014).</p> <p>Variability.</p> <p>Assessment of 19 characters in male M. davidi sp. nov. and 18 characters in females (Table 1) highlights substantial variation in many characters within and between sampling localities, in both the male and female specimens examined.</p> <p>In both sexes there is substantial variation in body colouration. In males, the chelicera and pars cephalica ranged from a bright red (specimen WAM T119729; Fig. 13A) to a red with a shade of orange (male: T120081; Fig. 13B) whereas abdominal colour in dorsal varied between green, purple and blue metallic tones to no metallic sheen at all (Fig. 13G-H). Colouration of the pars thoracica ranged from light brown (T119733) to nearly black (T119731) and the orange to olive transition on the sternum and coxa was also highly variable (compare T84005; Fig. 13F with T113596; Fig. 13E). In females, cheliceral colouration ranged between dark red (T116874; Fig. 14A) to a light orange (T119979 or T116776; Fig. 14B). The abdomen in some specimens had a metallic sheen and the sternum varied between uniformly orange (T116776; Fig. 14F) to a full transition from orange to dark red (T119711; Fig. 14G). Colour of legs and pars thoracica ranged between light brown (T116776) to dark brown (T125308). The colour variations still hold true if considering possible artefacts of preservation, i.e. varying trapping liquids, ethanol concentration during storage, and time of preservation.</p> <p>Variability was also high in rastellum spination and cuspule counts. Some male specimens had about twice as many rastellum spines (Fig. 13L, M) and/or cuspules on both maxillae and labium than others. Female variability was even higher with some specimens having up to four times more maxillary cuspules (Fig. 14H, I) or nearly five times more spines on the rastellum (17; Fig. 14N, O) than others. The spination of the patellae was also variable which included spinal counts, size, and positioning of the individual spines. While male specimens showed variation on the first, third and fourth patella, females only had spines on the third and fourth patella (see Table 1 for details). The shape of the sternum in females varied considerably between ovoid and round, and the shape, size and position of the sternal sigilla differed substantially (Fig. 14F, G). The second pair of sigilla was subdivided into two depressions in some female specimens but not in others. Variation in body size was also substantial (Fig. 15) and the carapace length ranged from 3.58 to 4.74 in males and 5.12 to 8.97 in females.</p> <p>Eye ratio of the PLE and PME pair width in relation to the ALE pair width varied less than other characters. While still showing variation in males and females its range was less extreme (within 8% in males and 16% in females) than in other characters (Figs 13I-K, 14J-M; see boxplot Fig. 16). Male bulb structure also varied little (Fig. 3 H, I).</p> <p>There was no correlation between geographical distance of samples and morphological divergence. For example, two females of the clade III (WAM T126260 and T126264) from one locality showed substantial differences in the number of rastellum spines (9 vs 17 respectively), which was also notable for four male specimens of the clades II and III (T119726-T119729) from the same location (4 to 10 spines). Similar results were inferred for cuspule count in these males (55 to 80 cuspules on the maxillae).</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/7247F8607839543890D1AA25132F08D1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Missulena manningensis sp. nov.</p> <p>Figs 10, 11, 12</p> <p>Type material.</p> <p>Holotype: AUSTRALIA - Western Australia • ♂; Mt Manning area, site CR2; 30°27.95′S 119°58.02′E; 21 June 2008; J. Francesconi leg.; WAM T92071.</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>Males share with M. davidi sp. nov., M. iugum sp. nov., M. langlandsi, M. occatoria and M. insignis, the closest morphological matches, the red colouration of the chelicerae and pars cephalica. They differ from M. langlandsi by a longer carapace (&gt;3.00 mm; M. langlandsi up to 2.8 mm) and the presence of strong, conical spines of the rastellum (simple in M. langlandsi). They differ from M. occataria and M. insignis by the lack of spines ventrally on patellae III and IV (at the most 1 thickened seta). Pars cephalica lower than in M. occataria (up to 1.96; M. occataria approx. 3.0) and carapace shorter (3.6 long, 4.61 wide; M. occataria approx. 5.0 long, 7.0 wide). More cuspules on the labium and maxillae than in M. insignis but less than in M. davidi sp. nov. (M. insignis: none; M. manningensis sp. nov.: 5 at labium, 30 at maxillae; M. davidi sp. nov.: 15-10 at labium, 35-100 at maxillae). Lacks a ridged cheliceral groove which is present in M. iugum sp. nov.</p> <p>Description.</p> <p>MALE (based on holotype; WAMT92071). Total length 8.95. Colour: pars cephalica and chelicerae orange (Fig. 11C); a slim, black ring surrounding the PME (Fig. 11H); pars thoracica brown with a light, purplish sheen (Fig. 11C); abdomen greyish with a light, metallic blue sheen on the dorsal side (Fig. 11D), ventrally more brownish with a faint hint of purple (Fig. 11E); sternum orange, slightly fading into olive with 8 sigilla in different shades of orange (Fig. 11G); labium and maxillae orange with a dark olive spot on the base of labium (Fig. 11F); legs olive fading into light brown ventrally, dorsally brown (Fig. 11A, B); spinnerets beige (Fig. 11E). Carapace: 3.6 long, 4.61 wide and 1.96 high; clypeus 0.31; pars cephalica covers 2.25 of its length, is highly elevated and slightly granulated with very few setae (Fig. 12D); pars thoracica also granulated with bands of faint, radial fissures and with two deeply expressed notches close to the abdomen (Fig. 11C). Eyes: OQ 3.4 times wider than long; outer width of each eye pair AME 0.48, ALE 2.26, PME 1.44 and PLE 2.14; diameter of AME 0.19, ALE 0.19, PME 0.13, PLE 0.17; anterior eyes in a straight line; posterior eyes strongly recurved (Fig. 11H). Chelicerae: 2.17 long and 1.41 wide on the base; edges rounded and recurved with the widest point being 1.51 close to the chelicerae base (Fig. 11C); few setae along the inner margin and slightly more evenly spread setae along the anterior part of the chelicerae; rastellum present, slightly pronounced, consisting of a sclerotized process with 5 (left 8) strong, conical spines (Fig. 11I); over 20 setae cover the anterior base of fang of each chelicera; inner margin of cheliceral furrow with 2 rows of teeth and a general cheliceral teeth area in between those 2 clear rows (Fig. 12G); prolateral row with approx. 11 teeth; retrolateral row with 4 teeth; intermediate area with 5 small teeth. Maxillae: 2.09 long and 1.5 wide; at least 30 extremely weakly developed cuspules along anterior margin (Fig. 11F). Labium: 0.79 long and 0.86 wide on the base; conical; at least 5 extremely weak developed cuspules anteriorly (Fig. 11F); labiosternal junction visible (Fig. 11G). Sternum: 2.62 long and 2.29 wide; ovoid (Fig. 11G); setae of various length somewhat densely but irregular along the margin and a smaller amount of setae spread unevenly over the sternum; 4 pairs of sigilla, anterior pair very small and hardly visible, second pair also hardly visible, smallest of all pairs and divided into two circles, third pair significantly larger than second (roughly 4 times bigger) in the shape of an elongated oval, and posterior pair biggest (roughly 2 times the size of the third pair) and drop-shaped, all sigilla slightly depressed. Abdomen: 3.12 long and 2.74 wide; shape of a rounded trapezoid (but collapsed through preservation; Fig. 11D); 4 spinnerets, PLS 0.43 long (part of it broken off), 0.35 wide; PMS 0.37 long, 0.19 wide (Fig. 11E).
