Originally Simon (1901b) placed the genus Pochyta in the Saiteae group of species, but later transferred it to the Plexippeae group (Simon 1903b) and defined Pochyta by comparison with the genus Thiratoscirtus Simon, 1886, putting emphasis on the spination of the anterior pair of legs. Maddison et al. (2008) illustrated P. pannosa and placed it close to Bacelarella Berland &amp; Millot, 1941 and Nimbarus Rollard &amp; Wesołowska, 2002 based on a molecular phylogeny. Bodner &amp; Maddison (2012) had a much larger taxon selection in their phylogenetic analysis when establishing the subtribe Thiratoscirtina: seven terminals were assigned to Pochyta (P. pannosa, P. pulchra, P. fastibilis, and four others with code names). In their analyses, Pochyta was sister to the Bacelarella ‘pavida’ group (i.e. in all genes / ML and Bayesian), and a species called MRB212 / ThirGroup ItataLike (‘elongate foliage’) together with P. fastibilis. However, in their final, dated tree the genus was marked monophyletic (Bodner &amp; Maddison 2012). Interestingly, species ‘MRB212’ has four pairs of spines on the first tibia, but only two pairs on the metatarsus (see http://salticidae.org/salticidImages/pages/africa/images/image52164.html). Thus, we did not consider it as belonging to Pochyta. Species of the Bacelarella ‘pavida’ group all have dense hair (vs sparse hair in Pochyta) and only three pairs of spines on the first tibia and two pairs on the first metatarsus. Clearly the details of the genus’ phylogeny need further exploration, but for now we used the tree in Bodner &amp; Maddison (2012: fig. 8) as our working hypothesis.</p> <p>The placement of Pochyta in Thiratoscirtina is unequivocally supported by all the analyses. The subtribe includes currently 18 genera (sensu Maddison 2015a, see Metzner 2020), with large number of species distributed in Africa only. Bodner &amp; Maddison (2012) diagnosed the thiratoscirtines and provided support for their monophyly based on molecular data. A putative morphological synapomorphy for the thiratoscirtines is presence of a retrolateral spine (or spines) on the palpal tarsus in females and the elongated third femur in both sexes.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Simon (1901b) defined the genus Pochyta by the spination of leg I, namely the presence of four pairs of very long and sharp macrosetae on the ventral surface of tibia and three pairs on metatarsus. As the copulatory organs vary considerably in Pochyta, such spination remains the most characteristic and diagnostic feature of this genus.</p> <p>Description. Small to medium spiders, ranging from about 3.5 to 7.5 mm in length. Carapace oval, high (highest at last row of eyes), with steep posterior slope. Eyes surrounded by black rings, anterior median eyes large, eye field trapezoid, anterior row of eyes slightly wider than the posterior row. Fovea visible, sulciform. Clypeus vertical, low. Chelicerae unidentati, large and long, fang in the majority species short, but in some males long, modified. Retromarginal tooth usually long, promarginal teeth often separated. Female chelicerae smaller. Endites slightly convergent. Labium trapezoid. Sternum shield-shaped. Pedicel short, not visible in dorsal view. Abdomen ovoid, narrower than carapace in males. Abdominal dorsum usually with median light serrated streak. Legs subequal, anterior pair usually longer than others, especially in males. First leg with four pairs of extremely long spines on tibia ventrally and three pairs on metatarsus. Additional short and thinner setae on both lateral sides of these segments, single short seta on prolateral side of patella. Spination of leg I in female similar. Female palp with single retrolateral spine on tarsus. Structure of genitalia very diverse.</p> <p>Composition. A total 12 valid species are now included in Pochyta, of which seven are described herein as new. For four species only one sex is known.</p> <p>Distribution. The members of Pochyta are mainly distributed in western equatorial Africa. The range of almost every species is restricted to territories lying near the Gulf of Guinea, with some records of Pochyta spp. from northern Angola (P. major). Only a single species, P. spinosa, has a large range, and records from the Eastern part of the continent. Aside from localities in West Africa, it has also been collected in Mozambique and Madagascar (Fig. 158), thus providing the southernmost occurrence. This distribution is rather puzzling. Possibly the species was incidentally introduced to the east and nowadays has a disjunctive range.</p> <p>Natural history. Available information about the habitat preferences is given below under each species. The data show that Pochyta spp. prefer moist forest habitats. Some samples were collected by fogging from the canopy layer. In some cases, more than one species was found in a single vial, which shows that they can occur sympatrically. The very long spines on the ventral side of the tibia and metatarsus of the first leg may be an adaptation to living in leaf litter.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE8A22FFF9FFE7FF53B2376308FDDF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The male of this species is distinctive in having a unique form of the embolus, with a flag-shaped enlargement near its tip (Figs 100, 103). The female has an epigyne similar to that in P. fastibilis, but can be recognized by the very short seminal ducts vs very long in the latter species (compare Fig. 113 with Fig. 39).</p> <p>Redescription. Male. Measurements. Cephalothorax: length 2.4–3.1, width 1.9–2.4, height 1.3–1.6. Eye field: length 1.1–1.5, anterior width 1.7–2.1, posterior width 1.6–1.9. Abdomen: length 2.2–2.9, width 1.1–1.5. General appearance as in Fig. 97. Carapace high, eye field brown, thoracic part dark yellow, sides dark brown.

Clypeus with whitish hairs. Chelicerae large, with two small prolateral teeth and large retromarginal tooth (Fig. 101). Endites and labium light brown to dark, sternum orange. Abdomen elongate, brown, with whitish-yellow median band, diffused posteriorly to adjacent patches (Fig. 97). Spinnerets long, orange, with blackish ends. Legs light, whitish-yellow, with long femora. First leg longest, with numerous very long spines on ventral surfaces of tibia (four pairs) and on metatarsus (three pairs), shorter spines on lateral surfaces of these segments (Figs 99, 102). Single spine on prolateral surface of patella I. Pedipalp brown, with long hairs along prolateral surface its patella, tibia and cymbium.

Known from western Africa: Nigeria, Gabon, Cameroon (Fig. 159).</p> <p>Remarks. The holotype of P. occidentalis differs from P. pulchra only in having of twice shorter palpal tibia. The length of this segment is very variable; among the specimens collected in Calabar area two individuals have short tibia, and one long. The majority of specimens have the palpal tibia medium-sized. Similar variation was observed also in other species, e.g. in Tusitala barbata Peckham &amp; Peckham, 1902 and T. hirsuta Peckham &amp; Peckham, 1902 (Wesołowska &amp; Cumming 2008; Azarkina &amp; Foord 2015). In our opinion these specific names are synonyms.</p> <p>The female of this species is described here for the first time.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE8A22FFE3FFF8FF53B5A9617FFCE3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mouthparts light brown, white hairs on clypeus, sternum yellowish-brown. Abdomen oval, brown, with light pattern (Fig. 114), venter dark. Spinnerets long, orange. Legs thin and long, yellow or brown, with darker rings. Spination of distal segments of first leg: patella 1 prolaterally, tibia 2-2-2-2 ventrally, 1-1 pro- and retrolaterally; metatarsus 2-2-2 ventrally, 1-1 pro- and retrolaterally; ventral spines very long, spines on metatarsus equal to length of segment (Fig. 116).

General appearance as in Fig. 115. Medium-sized, light coloured spider. Carapace high, abruptly sloping posteriorly, brownish, with thin black line along margins, clothed in brown hairs, eye field lighter, yellowish. Eyes large, very convex, surrounded with black rings (except anterior median pair, which have thin frame composed of fawn hairs), longer brown bristles near eyes. White hairs form small patches between eyes of first row, larger at posterior median eyes and behind posterior laterals. Chelicerae unidentati, with short arched fang. Clypeus extremely low. Labium, endites and sternum whitish-yellow. Abdomen ovoid, brown and darkening posteriorly (bleached in holotype of P. spinosa), with pattern composed of light patches, some brown hairs and bristles on abdominal dorsum, denser anteriorly, venter light, sometimes with darker patch posteriorly. Spinnerets long, light. Legs whitish-yellow, with brown distal halves of segments, leg hairs brown, spines translucent. Spination of leg I as in male, retrolateral surface of tibia sometimes without spines. Single retrolateral spine on palp distally, hidden among dense brown hairs. Epigyne oval, with large shallow depression (Figs 120, 131–133). Seminal ducts narrow, their inlet parts weakly sclerotized, spermathecae ovoid, large (Figs 134–136).</p> <p>Distribution. Widely distributed in western Africa, also with records from Mozambique and Madagascar (Fig. 158).</p> <p>Remarks. In Prószyński (1987) the figures on p. 79 are not illustrating P. spinosa.</p> <p>The occurrence of this species in the southeastern part of Africa is surprising, because all species of Pochyta are restricted to western Africa. This suggests the species may have been introduced to Mozambique and Madagascar.</p> <p>P. spinosa and P. pannosa were originally described from single sexes only (female and male, respectively). Numerous studied samples contained males and females collected together from the same locality, same time. Thus, both species names should be synonymised. Hence we are certain these opposing sexes belong to the same species. Furthermore, the syntypes of P. albimana have a similar body size and colouration to P. spinosa, and the epigynes look the same as well. Thus, these names are also proposed as synonyms.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE8A22FFE7FFC4FF53B3D061C6FCAB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The generic name is derived from locus typicus of the type species of this genus, Kilimanjaro Kibo volcanic massif. Gender neuter.</p> <p>Diagnosis and affinities. Kibo is a medium-sized salticid with an oval carapace, high in cephalic part, and a trapezoid eye field with the distance between anterior lateral eyes slightly larger than between the posterior laterals. The chelicera is unidentate, with a big tooth on the retrolateral edge. The type species was formerly placed in Pochyta, but pattern of leg I spination is different from that in this genus: there are three pairs of ventral spines on tibia and two pairs on metatarsus, these spines are shorter than in Pochyta. The genus Kibo is characterized by the structure of the genitalia. The male palpal organ has an oval bulb divided by longitudinal fossa into two lobes and a ribbon-like embolus with the base set between these lobes. The epigyne has relatively small spermathecae and membranous seminal ducts. The body proportions and the presence of a tarsal retrolateral spine on the female palp confirm that the genus is related to the other members of the subtribe Thiratoscirtina of the tribe Aelurillini (sensu Maddison 2015a). Thiratoscirtines are a large group of salticids, very diverse in the Afrotropics, and their phylogeny is yet to be applied to morphological characters, homology hypotheses and synapomorphies. The phylogenetic relationships of Kibo without any sequence data is presently difficult even to speculate.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BE8A22FFD9FFC6FF53B18F6662FBC9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
