            <p>Etymology. Named after the island where the new species was detected.</p>
            <p> Discussion.  Torrenticola borneoensis n. sp belongs to the former subgenus  Rusetria Thor, 1897 , characterized by the fusion of the shoulder platelets with the large dorsal plate. Together with  Torrenticola indica Cook, 1967 (India; Cook 1967),  T. flangia Wiles, 1997 (Sulawesi; Wiles 1997, Pešić &amp; Smit 2011),  T. kinabaluensis n. sp. (see below) and  T. neoindica n. sp. (see below),  T. borneoensis n. sp. belongs to a group characterized by a flanged palp (P-2 with a laterally compressed and apically serrated ventrodistal extension). The combination of a flanged palp with Cxgl-4 shifted close to I-L insertion makes the new species similar to  T. kinabaluensis n. sp. (see below). The latter species can easily be distinguished by a more elongated dorsal shield and the flange on P-2 more longish (&gt;30% of ventral margin of P-2). Further, Cxgl-4 is shifted more posteriorly in  T. kinabaluensis n. sp. , lying between I- and –II–L insertions, but more approaching I–L.  Torrenticola flangia resembles  T. kinabaluensis n. sp. in the shape of the palp (flange on P-2 longish,&gt; 30% of ventral margin) but clearly differs from both aforementioned new species from Borneo in a characteristic colour pattern on the dorsal shield (typically with a broad posterior and a narrow anterior band of blue pigment) and Cxgl–4 more posterior, lying in close proximity to Cxgl–2 (see Wiles 1997). </p>

            <p>Etymology. Named after the province (Sabah) where the new species was found.</p>
            <p> Discussion. The new species is most similar to  Torrenticola longipalpis Wiles, 1997 (see below). The latter species can easily be separated from  T. sabahensis n. sp. due to the less slender idiosoma, the characteristic colour pattern (see Figs. 9E–F), Cxgl–4 shifted more anteriorly, at margin of Cx-I/II, the longer ventral seta on P-2, and in males, medial suture line of Cx-II+III shorter and suture lines of Cx-IV extending less posteriorly beyond posterior margin of genital field. </p>
            <p>Habitat. Sandy/bouldery streams, shaded by rain forest (Fig. 43A).</p>
            <p>Distribution. Borneo.</p>

            <p>Morphology</p>
            <p>Male. General features —Idiosoma roundish (dorsal shield L/W ratio 1.2); shoulder platelets fused to the large dorsal plate; dorsal shield with colour pattern as illustrated in Figs. 9E–F; gnathosomal bay U-shaped, proximally pointed; Cxgl–4 far posterior at margin of Cx-I/II, near insertion of II-L; medial suture line of Cx-II+III short; suture line of Cx-IV distinct, medially starting from posterior margin of genital field in a right angle to the main idiosoma axis; genital field subrectangular in shape; ejaculatory complex conventional in shape (with well developed anterior keel and proximal arms— Figs. 8D, 23C); excretory and Vgl–2 pore away from the line of primary sclerotization, excretory pore anterior to Vgl–2; gnathosoma with curved ventral margin; P-2 longer than P-4, P-2 ventral margin straight, P-2 and P-3 ventrodistal protrusions bluntly pointed and cone-shaped, P-4 with well developed ventral protuberances, ending in two tips separated by a concavity (Fig. 8C).</p>
            <p>Measurements —Idiosoma (ventral view: Figs. 8B, 10F) L 713, W 556; dorsal shield (Figs. 8A, 9E–F) L 584, W 485, L/W ratio 1.2; dorsal plate L 558; frontal plate L 130–141, W 47, L/W ratio 2.8–3.0. Gnathosomal bay L 167, Cx-I total L 320, Cx-I mL 153, Cx-II+III mL 56; ratio Cx-I L/Cx-II+III mL 5.7; Cx-I mL/Cx-II+III mL 2.7. Genital field L/W 159/128, ratio 1.25; ejaculatory complex L 223; distance genital field-excretory pore 119, genital field-caudal idiosoma margin 173.

            <p> Remarks. Wiles (1999) reported  T. longipalpis from several sites in the catchment area of the Rivers Temburong and Belalong in North Brunei. He mentioned that his specimens differ from those from Sulawesi in having Cxgl–4 closer to, but still anterior to Cxgl–2 and a slightly longer medial suture line of Cx-II+III. However, he considered that to be a case of intraspecific variability. </p>

The specimens from Borneo agree well in general morphology of the palp (P-2 and -3 with a subrectangular, anteriorly directed and apically serrated hyaline extensions) with  Torrenticola indica Cook, 1967 , a species described from India (Cook 1967). The latter species can be easily distinguished in a different colour pattern on the dorsal shield (see Cook 1967: fig. 222) and in the male having a longer medial suture line of CxII+III. </p>
            <p> Wiles (1999) reported  T. indica from several sites in the catchment area of the Rivers Temburong and Belalong in Brunei Darussalem, without discussion on differences with the original description. </p>

General features —Idiosoma elongated-oval (dorsal shield L/W ratio 1.3-1.4); gnathosomal bay Ushaped, proximally pointed; Cxgl-4 subapical, only slightly posterior of Cx-I tips; genital field subrectangular; posterior suture lines of Cx-IV starting at right angle from genital field; excretory pore away from the line of primary sclerotization, excretory pore on the level with Vgl-2; gnathosomal rostrum shortened, ventral margin in lateral view curved (Fig. 14D); P-2 ventral margin with a denticulation also in proximal half of the segment, distally with a small, laterally compressed, anteriorly directed and apically serrated hyaline extension (rudimentary flange, Wiles 1997) and a very short, denticle-like seta laterally at base of projection; P-3 with a subrectangular, apically serrated ventrodistal projection, and a very long seta (longer than P-3) laterally at base of projection; P-4 stout, with ventral tubercles pointed and separated, bearing one long and three short setae (Figs. 14 B-C).</p>
            <p>Measurements —Idiosoma (ventral view: Figs. 14A, 17E) L 522, W 397; dorsal shield (Fig. 16E) L 438, W 322, L/W ratio 1.36; dorsal plate L 403; shoulder plate L 131-138, W 50-54, L/W ratio 2.5-2.6; frontal plate L 91- 95, W 45-47, L/W ratio 2.0–2.03; shoulder/frontal plate L 1.44–1.45.

            <p> Remarks. The specimens from this study matches the general morphology of  Torrenticola tjiwalensis (K. Viets, 1935) , a species originally described from Java (K. Viets 1935), and later on reported from Peninsular Malaysia (Wiles 1997) and Borneo (Wiles 1999). The differences with the original description (in parentheses, from K. Viets 1935) are found in slightly smaller dimensions, stouter P-4 and the excretory pore lying on the same level as Vgl-2 (shifted slightly posterior to Vgl-2) of the specimen from Borneo. Thus, our assignment of the specimen from Borneo is tentative. Only with more material in the future it will be possible to decide whether this is really just a variable species or a complex of several similar species. </p>

            <p>Female. General features —Idiosoma roundish; gnathosomal bay U-shaped, proximally pointed; Cxgl–4 subapical, only slightly posterior of Cx-I tips; genital field pentagonal; suture lines of Cx-IV extending back beyond posterior margin of genital field, laterally curved; excretory pore away from the line of primary sclerotization, excretory pore slightly posterior from Vgl-2; gnathosomal rostrum long, ventral margin in lateral view slightly curved (Fig. 15D); P-2 slightly longer than P-4, P-2 ventral margin with a denticulation also in proximal half of the segment, distally with a laterally compressed, longish (&gt;30% of ventral margin), anteriorly directed and apically serrated hyaline extension with and a very short, denticle-like seta laterally at base of projection; P-3 with a longish, subrectangular, apically serrated ventrodistal projection, and a very long seta laterally at base of projection; P-4 slender, with ventral tubercles pointed and separated, bearing one long and three short setae (Fig. 15C).</p>

            <p>Male: unknown.</p>
            <p>Etymology. Named after Menno Schilthuizen, leader of the Mt Kinabula-Crocker Range expedition.</p>
            <p> Discussion. Due to the Cxgl–4 subapical and P-2 ventral margin distally with a laterally compressed, anteriorly directed ventrodistal extension and a denticulation also in proximal half of the segment, the new species resembles  Torrenticola tjiwalensis (K. Viets, 1935) and  T. dentifera Wiles, 1991 . The latter species, originally described from Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia (Wiles 1991), and later on found in South Korea (Pešić et al. 2013b), is known only from the male sex. It can easily be distinguished from the new species in having a short ventral seta on P-3 and P-4 with long and broadly rounded distal seta.  Torrenticola tjiwalensis (Java, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo) resembles the new species in having a long ventral seta on P-3 (longer than P-3) but differs in a small, rudimentary flange ventrally on P-2 (see Wiles 1997). Further differences are found in a more elongated dorsal shield, excretory pore and Vgl-1 shifted more away from the line of primary sclerotization and a less shallow gnathosoma with a relatively more shortened rostrum in the female of  T. tjiwalensis (see K. Viets 1935) </p>
            <p>Habitat. Sandy/bouldery streams, shaded by rain forest (Fig. 43C).</p>

            <p>Deutonymph. General features —Idiosoma roundish; frontal platelets fused to each other forming an anterior plate (Fig. 18A); gnathosomal bay U-shaped; Cxgl–4 far posterior at margin of Cx-I/II, near insertion of II-L; provisional genital field with four pairs of acetabula (Fig. 18B); gnathosomal rostrum long, long, bent dorsally (Fig. 18D); cheliceral claw very long, ratio basal segment/claw 1.1; P-2 and P-3 without ventral setae (Fig. 18C).</p>
            <p>Measurements —Idiosoma L 456, W 375; dorsal shield (Fig. 18A) L/W 309/223, ratio 1.39, dorsal plate L 259; shoulder plate L 127, W 50–52, L/W ratio 2.5; anterior plate L 131, W 45, L/W ratio 2.9. Coxal field: L 331, W 326, gnathosomal bay L 97. Provisional genital field L/W 81/98, ratio 0.83; Gnathosoma vL 187; chelicera total L 195, basal segment L 114, claw L 100, L basal segment/claw ratio 1.14; palp total L 232, dL/H, dL/H ratio: P-1, 22/29, 0.75; P-2, 82/35, 2.32; P-3, 37/28, 1.34; P-4, 73/21.5, 3.4; P-5, 18/17, 1.95; P-2/P-4 ratio 1.13.</p>
            <p> Remarks. The single deutonymph from this study matches the general morphology of  Torrenticola pugionirostris (K. Viets, 1939) , a species known from Java (K. Viets 1939, Lundblad 1971). This species is characterized by Cxgl-4 shifted far posterior at margin of Cx-I/II, near insertion of II-L, and I– and –II-L insertions are anterior to the dorsal shield when viewed from above (Wiles 1997). The deutonymph has been described by Lundblad (1971) from Java. However, Lundblad mentioned a provisional genital field with six Ac instead of 8 in the specimen from our study. Thus, our assignment of the specimen from Borneo is tentative, and only with more material of adult specimens in the future will it be possible to clarify the status of this species. </p>

            <p>Male: unknown.</p>
            <p>Etymology. Named after Sunda Shelf; major landmasses on the shelf include the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Madura, Bali and their surrounding smaller islands.</p>
            <p> Discussion. The subgenus  Allotorrenticola includes six species from Asia, i.e.,  Neoatractides abnormipalpis (Lundblad, 1941) (Burma, Malaysia, Brunei; Wiles 1997),  N. bahtilli (Wiles, 1991) (Malaysia, Thailand; Wiles 1997, Pešić &amp; Smit 2009a),  N. malayensis (Wiles, 1991) (Malaysia, Thailand; Wiles 1997, Pešić &amp; Smit 2009a),  N. suvarna (Cook, 1967) (India, Cook 1967),  N. farmerae Wiles, 1999 (Borneo, Wiles 1999) and  N. calidus Pešić &amp; Smit, 2012 (South Iran, Pešić et al. 2012a), and  N. erato Pešić &amp; Smit, 2014 (West Africa, Pešić &amp; Smit 2014). </p>
            <p> The shape of dorsal shield with the shoulder platelets fused to the large dorsal plate, makes the new species most similar to  Neoatractides erato , a species recently described from Ghana (Pešić &amp; Smit 2014). The latter species can easily be distinguished by the series of different character states: gnathosoma with conspicuous oral papillae (sensu Wiles 1997), P-2 maximum height at distal margin, P-3 stout with short ventral seta located in the distal half, P-4 almost equal in length with P-3, cheliceral claw relatively long, gnathosomal bay moderately deep (see Pešić &amp; Smit 2014). </p>
            <p> Two  Allotorrenticola species previously reported from Borneo (Wiles 1999),  N. abnormipalpis and  N. farmerae can easily be distinguished from  N. sundaensis n. sp. in addition to the shoulder platelets not fused to the large dorsal plate, by P-1 partially fused with P-2 (see Wiles 1999). </p>
            <p>Habitat. Sandy/bouldery streams, shaded by rain forest (Fig. 43D).</p>
            <p>Distribution. Borneo; known only from the locus typicus.</p>

            <p>Etymology. The species name refers to the undivided dorsal shield of the new species.</p>
            <p> Discussion.  Neoatractides uniscutatus n. sp. is the third representative of the subgenus  Heteratractides Lundblad, 1941 . Synapomorphies of the species included in this subgenus (i.e. subgeneric autapomorphies) include the following features: lateral distal margin of P-3 deeply indented and gnathosomal rostrum broad and upturned (Wiles 1997). Two species are known so far,  Neoatractides serratirostris (Lundblad, 1941) from Colombia (Lundblad 1941) and  N. orientalis Wiles, 1991 , described on the basis of two female specimens from Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia (Wiles 1991, 1997). From the latter species,  Neoatractides uniscutatus n. sp. can be distinguished by the frontal platelets fused to the large dorsal plate.  Neoatractides serratirostris resembles the new species due to the anterolateral platelets fused with the large dorsal plate forming an undivided dorsal shield, but differs from the new species in having a shorter and broader gnathosomal rostrum, a very long ventral seta on P-2 exceeding the tip of P-5, a conventionally shaped ejaculatory complex, relatively larger genital field and a shorter medial suture line of Cx-II+III (see Lundblad 1953). </p>

            <p>Etymology. Named after the island where the new species was found.</p>
            <p> Discussion. In the general characters,  Peudotorrenticola borneoensis n. sp. closely resembles  P. sharpae Wiles, 1997 . The latter species was described by Wiles (1997) based on material from Thailand (holotype male), Peninsular Malaysia (one male and one female) and North Brunei (one male). Wiles (1997) mentioned that the specimen from Brunei differs in having more slender palps and anterolateral platelets extending posteriorly to the level with D2. He stated that this may be a separate species. In the light of the new record from northern Borneo, these morphological differences cannot be attributed to intraspecific variability. The specimen examined from Borneo differs from the original description of  P. sharpae in larger dimensions (idiosoma length 670–740 µm in male of  P. sharpae ), anterolateral platelets extending more posteriorly, approaching to the level with D2, a more slender palp especially P-4, and excretory pore lying on the margin of primary sclerotization (away from the margin of primary sclerotization in  P. sharpae , see Wiles 1997: fig. 20f). In our opinion the specimen from this study warrant the erection of a new species. </p>
            <p>Habitat. Sandy/bouldery stream, shaded by rain forest.</p>
            <p> Distribution. Borneo (“  P. sharpae ” Wiles 1997 , our study). </p>

            <p>Morphology</p>
            <p>General features —Idiosoma elongated (dorsal shield L/W ratio 1.6-1.7); shoulder plates elongated (shoulder/ frontal plate L ratio 1.2-1.3); frontal margin with flat protrusions medial to the eyes; Cxgl-4 located far anteriorly, near tips of Cx-I; gnathosomal bay U-shaped; suture line of Cx-IV lightly accentuated, originating from lateral edge of genital field and extending posteriorly beyond posterior margin of genital field (Figs. 29 A-B); Vgl-2 posterior to excretory pore; P-2 and P-3 distal margins without pointed tips, P-4 without denticles near insertion of ventral setae. Male: medial margin of Cx-II/III relatively long; genital field subrectangular; ejaculatory complex normal in shape (proximal and distal arms and proximal chamber well developed, Fig. 30A); excretory pore and Vgl- 2 slightly away from the line of primary sclerotization, near posterior margin of idiosoma. Female: genital field pentagonal, anteriorly enlarged, laterally straight, tapering posteriorly (Fig. 29B); excretory pore and Vgl- 2 located posterior to line of primary sclerification.</p>
            <p> Remarks. The specimens from Borneo agree well in general morphology with  Monatractides longiventris , a species originally described from Java (K. Viets 1939). The original description was restricted to the male; a first description of the female from Central Java was given by Lundblad (1971). In comparison with the holotype, specimens examined in our study are smaller, but do not differ in proportions and general idiosoma and palp morphology (Table 1). </p>

            <p> Remarks. The specimens from Borneo match the general morphology of  Monatractides macroporus , a species described by K. Viets (1935) from Sumatra based on a single male and one female specimen under question mark. In the same paper Viets (1935) described two species, closely related to the latter,  M. macrognathus (K. Viets, 1935) and  M. macrognathus major (K. Viets, 1935) . Lundblad (1971) considered the latter two species synonymous with  M. macroporus . However, Wiles (1991) rejected the synonymization of the latter species with  M. macroporus and raised  M. macrognathus major to a full species.  Monatractides major is characterized at first line in comparison with the two abovementioned species by having four dorsoglandularia incorporated in the area of primary sclerotization.  Monatractides macroporus (as well the specimens examined from Borneo) has a narrower gnathosomal bay than  M. macrognathus (compare measurements in Tables 2 and 3) but this character is known to be variable in this species (Lundblad 1971). At the time being we keep  M. macrognathus as synonym of  M. macroporus . </p>
            <p> In comparison with the holotype of  M. macroporus and specimens of  M. macrognathus from Java (see Tables 2–3), males examined in our study are notably smaller, and differ in having much shorter shoulder plates, more or less equal in dimensions to frontal plates, stouter I-L-6 and anterior dorsoglandularia shifted far anterior from medial muscle scar (lying near anterior end of medial muscle scar in specimens from Java). Thus, our assignment of the specimens from Borneo to  M. macroporus is tentative, and very probably specimens from Borneo belong to a new species. However, only with application of molecular techniques it will be possible to decide whether this is really just a variable species or a complex of several similar species. </p>
            <p> Furthermore, as already stated by Pešić &amp; Smit (2009b) understanding the taxonomic position of other species (  M. macroporus (K. Viets, 1935) ,  M. major (K. Viets, 1935) ,  M. angulatus (Walter, 1928) ,  M. minor Wiles, 1991 , and  M. nondescripta (Cook, 1966)) tentatively included in the so-called M. macroporus- complex is not possible without additional material from a wide area and/or without the application of molecular techniques. </p>
            <p> Wiles (1999) reported a single specimen, which best fits the description of  M. macrognathus in the River Temburong (North Brunei). He mentioned that “there are other specimens that are not such a good fit and their status must await further investigation”. </p>

            <p>Morphology</p>
            <p>Male. General features —Idiosoma elongated-oval; shoulder platelet elongated (shoulder/frontal plate L ratio 2.0); frontal margin medially with large anterolaterally pointed apodemes; Cxgl–4 located far anteriorly, near tips of Cx-I; gnathosomal bay V-shaped, three pairs of knob-like protrusions at the lateral margins of gnathosomal bay; medial margin of Cx-II/III moderately long; genital field subrectangular; ejaculatory complex: proximal and distal arms well developed, carina anterior long, proximal chamber small (Fig. 30B); suture line of Cx-IV distinct, originating from lateral edge of genital field, laterally curved; line of primary sclerotization close to posterior margin of genital field; excretory pore and Vgl–2 well separated from the line of primary sclerotization, Vgl–2 posterior to excretory pore; gnathosoma with long dorsal apodemes, rostrum truncated; distal margin of P-3 and P-4 medially and laterally with several pointed extensions; P-4 with two ventral setae, one very long and away from distal edge.</p>
            <p> Remarks. The male specimen from Kipungit River agrees well in general morphology with  Monatractides oxystomus (K. Viets, 1935) , a species originally described from Sumatra (K. Viets 1935) based on two females. The male was described by Lundblad (1971) from Central Java. </p>
            <p> Monatractides oxystomus seems to be most similar to  M. tobaensis (K. Viets, 1935) , a species decribed from Toba Lake, in N Sumatra from at depth of 5 m (K. Viets 1935). The main difference between  M. macroporus and  M. tobaensis concerns the gnathosomal bay, characteristically V-shaped in the both species: in  M. oxystomus three pairs of knob-like protrusions laying at the lateral margins of gnathosomal bay, while they are lacking in  M. tobaensis . However there is one another important difference between these two species—the presence of swimming setae on the legs II–IV in  M. tobaensis . The presence of swimming setae on legs was mentioned by K.Viets in the original description of  M. tobaensis and its confirmed by our re-examination of the holotype of  M. tobaensis . The numbers of swimming setae are as follows: II-L-4, 1; II-L-5, 1; III-L-4, 1; III-L-5, 1; IV-L-4, 1; IVL-5, 1. This is the second species of the genus characterized by the presence of swimming setae on legs. Recently, Pešić &amp; Smit (2014) erected a new subgenus,  Vietsclio , to accommodate  Monatractides uniscutatus (K. Viets, 1925) , a species known from Cameroon (K. Viets 1925) and Ghana (Pešić &amp; Smit 2014). The latter species can easily be distinguished from  M. tobaensis due to the anterolateral platelets fused with the large dorsal plate forming an undivided dorsal shield. Therefore we propose to shift  M. tobaensis to the subgenus  Vietsclio Pešić &amp; Smit, 2014 . </p>

            <p>Morphology</p>
            <p>General features —Idiosoma roundish; shoulder plates very short, shorter than frontal plates (shoulder/frontal plate L ratio 0.7–0.8); frontal margin with flat protrusions medial to the eyes; Cxgl–4 located far anteriorly, near tips of Cx-I; gnathosomal bay U-shaped; suture line of Cx-IV distinct, originating from lateral edge of genital field and extending posteriorly beyond posterior margin of genital field (Figs. 29C–D); excretory pore and Vgl–2 away from the line of primary sclerotization, Vgl–2 posterior to excretory pore; gnathosoma with long dorsal apodemes; P-4 with well visible denticle near insertion of ventral setae. Male: medial margin of Cx-II/III short; genital field subrectangular; ejaculatory complex: proximal and distal arms well developed, carina anterior long, proximal chamber small. Female: genital field pentagonal, anteriorly enlarged, laterally straight, tapering posteriorly (Fig. 29C).</p>
            <p> Remarks: The specimens examined from Borneo agree well in general morphology with  Monatractides parviventris (K. Viets, 1935) , a species originally described from South Sumatra (K. Viets 1935) based on a single female and one deutonymph. The male was described by Lundblad (1971) from Central Java. </p>
            <p> Wiles (1999) reported  M. parviventris from several sites in the catchment area of the River Belalong in North Brunei. He mentioned variability of his specimens in the shape of the idiosoma (rounded to oval) and in the fusion between the median margins of frontal plates. We also found a mixed populations with separate (Fig. 28C) and fused (Fig. 28D) frontal plates. </p>
            <p>As stated by Wiles (1999) the taxonomy of this species needs further investigation, probably with application of molecular techniques. However, unfortunately our effort to obtain the mtCOI fragment from specimens of this species from Borneo, was not successful (see under Molecular results).</p>
            <p> Distribution. Sumatra (“  Atractides parviventris ” K. Viets 1935 ), Java (“  Torrenticola parviventris ” Lundblad 1971 ), Thailand (Pešić &amp; Smit 2009b). </p>

            <p> At present, it is impossible to give an unequivocal diagnosis for the female of  M. epiales n. sp. In the following list, measurements are given for a female taken at the locus typicus of  M. epiales n. sp. —Idiosoma (ventral view: Figs. 27A, 29I) L 700, W 430; dorsal shield (Fig. 28I) L 553, W 409, L/W ratio 1.35; dorsal plate L 500; shoulder plate L 122–127, W 64–67, L/W ratio 1.9; frontal plate L 131, W 61–66, L/W ratio 2.0–2.2; shoulder/frontal plate L ratio 0.93–0.96. Gnathosomal bay L 148, Cx-I total L 253, Cx-I mL 106, Cx-II+III mL 46; ratio Cx-I L/Cx-II+III mL 5.5; Cx-I mL/Cx-II+III mL 2.3. Genital field pentagonal in shape, anteriorly enlarged, laterally straight, tapering posteriorly, L/W 150/130, ratio 1.16; distance genital field-excretory pore 175, genital field-caudal idiosoma margin 250. Gnathosoma vL 138–139; chelicera total L 159; palp (Fig. 27B) total L 155, dL/H, dL/H ratio: P-1, 22/17, 1.3; P-2, 43/32, 1.35; P-3, 33/26, 1.27; P-4, 40/18.5, 2.16; P-5, 17/9, 1.87; P-2/P-4 ratio 1.08. Legs: dL of I-L-4–6: 62, 69, 71, I-L-6 H 30, L/H I-L-6 ratio 2.4. </p>
            <p>Etymology. The species is named after Epiales (Ancient Greek: Ἐπιάλης), who was a spirit of nightmares. The species name is a noun in apposition (in the nominative case), despite the Recommendation 31A of the ICZN (1999) about avoidance of personal names as nouns in appositions, because there is no case for it being confusing or misleading.</p>
            <p> Discussion.  Monatractides epiales n. sp. is rather similar and probably represent a sister species of  M. macroporus (K. Viets, 1935) (see above) with respect to the general shape of idiosoma and palps. Main differences between  M. macroporus and  M. epiales n. sp. are found in the morphology of ejaculatory complex (normallydeveloped with small proximal chamber in  M. macroporus vs. proximal chamber large, proximal and distal arms short, carina anterior short in  M. epiales n. sp. —compare Figs. 26A and -B). The female assigned to  M. epiales n. sp. can be identified on the basis of a relatively larger extension of the genital field (L ratio genital/idiosoma 0.21). </p>
            <p>Habitat. Sandy/bouldery stream, shaded by rain forest</p>
            <p>Distribution. Borneo; known only from the locus typicus.</p>

            <p>Etymology. The species is named after Morpheus (Ancient Greek: Μορφεύς), who was a spirit of dreams, and who takes the shape of humans. The species name is a noun in apposition (in the nominative case), despite the Recommendation 31A of the ICZN (1999) about avoidance of personal names as nouns in appositions, because there is no case for it being confusing or misleading.</p>
            <p> Discussion.  Monatractides morpheus n. sp. resembles the  M. luteus (K. Viets, 1935) —complex characterized in the first line in comparison with the species of  M. macroporus –complex (see above) by the presence of anteriorly broad and short Cx-I and relatively wide gnathosomal bay (Pešić &amp; Smit 2010). This group includes five similar species known from Java, i.e.,  M. luteus (K. Viets, 1935) ,  M. roseus (Lundblad, 1941) ,  M. landbergi (Lundblad, 1941) ,  M. parvus (Lundblad, 1941) and  M. longiusculus (Lundblad, 1941) . From all abovementioned species the new species from Borneo can easily be distinguished by the characteristic morphology of the ejaculatory complex (proximal chamber large, proximal and distal arms short, carina anterior short versus normally-developed with small proximal chamber in the species from Java (see Lundblad 1956, 1971). </p>
            <p>There appear to be two forms of this species which can be identified in the female sex. At one extreme end, females with an enlarged genital field and less extended postgenital area (Fig. 40B). At the other extreme end specimens with a less enlarged genital field and more extended postgenital area (Fig. 40C). The figures 32A–B illustrate two specimens collected from the locus typicus.</p>
            <p>The specimens from Little Lumotok stream and Kemantis stream (Table 5) differ from the type specimens by broader frontal plates (Fig. 33B, 39D–E), slightly longer medial suture line of Cx-II+III, smaller dimensions of genital field and broader I-L-6 (Fig. 33H) These differences could reflect some degree of genetical differentiation between these populations. Unfortunately, our effort to obtain sequences of the mtCOI fragment from different populations of this species from Borneo were not successful. On the other hand introducing a new species for both forms, in our opinion, will create more confusion given the present state of knowledge of this species.</p>
            <p>Habitat. Sandy/bouldery streams, shaded by rain forest (Figs. 43A,C–D).</p>
            <p>Distribution. Borneo.</p>

            <p>Etymology. The species is named after Phantasos (Ancient Greek: Φάντασος) who was a spirit of dreams of fantasy, and who takes the shape of inanimate objects. The species name is a noun in apposition (in the nominative case), despite the Recommendation 31A of the ICZN (1999) about avoidance of personal names as nouns in appositions, because there is no case for it being confusing or misleading.</p>
            <p> Discussion. The combination of a broad frontal plates (L/W ratio 1.4) and moderately deep, V-shaped, gnathosomal bay, easily separates the new species from all other members of the genus. Due to the V-shaped, gnathosomal bay,  Monatractides phantasos n. sp. somehow resembles  M. oxystomus (K. Viets, 1935) and  M. tobaensis (K. Viets, 1935) (see above). However these two species seem not to be closely related to the new species as they differ in a series of features: less broader frontal plates, frontal margin medially strongly concave between large anterolaterally pointed protrusions, gnathosomal bay more deep, moderately long medial margin of Cx-II/III, P-4 with long ventral seta exceeding distal edge and excretory pore and Vgl-2 shifted more away from the line of primary sclerotization. </p>
            <p>Variability. Frontal plates in male fused to form an elongated platelet, but traces of fusion visible (Figs. 35B, 39G).</p>
            <p>Habitat. Sandy/bouldery streams, shaded by rain forest (Fig. 43D).</p>

            <p>Etymology. The species is named after Phobetor (Ancient Greek: Φοβήτωρ) who was a spirit of nightmares and who takes the shape of animals. The species name is a noun in apposition (in the nominative case), despite the Recommendation 31A of the ICZN (1999) about avoidance of personal names as nouns in appositions, because there is no case for it being confusing or misleading.</p>
            <p> Discussion.  Monatractides phobetor n. sp is closely related to  M. synaptus (K. Viets, 1935) ,  M. amabilis (Lundblad, 1941) and  M. magnipharynx (Lundblad, 1941) , all known from Java (K. Viets 1935, Lundblad 1971) characterized by the fusion of both frontal and shoulder platelets with the large dorsal plate. Due to the slender ventral setae on P-2 and P-3 the new species resembles  M. amabilis (and differs from the two other species in having a denticle-like ventral seta on P-2 and -3). The new species can easily be distinguished from all abovementioned species by having V-shaped, proximally pointed gnathosomal bay with three pairs of knob-like protrusions at its lateral margins. </p>

Gnathosomal bay L 253, Cx-I total L 438, Cx-I mL 184, Cx-II+III mL 160; ratio Cx-I L/Cx-II+III mL 2.74; Cx-I mL/Cx-II+III mL 1.15. Genital field L/W 248/194, ratio 1.28; ejaculatory complex L 256; distance genital field-excretory pore 338, genital field-caudal idiosoma margin 497. Gnathosoma vL 204; chelicera total L 237; palp total L 294, dL/H, dL/H ratio: P-1, 39/25, 1.6; P-2, 75/46, 1.63; P-3, 78.5/40, 1.96; P-4, 67/23, 2.9; P-5, 34/14, 2.44; P-2/P-4 ratio 1.1.

            <p>Female: unknown</p>
            <p>Etymology. Named after Heracles (Ancient Greek: ρακλῆς), who was the greatest of the Greek heroes and a paragon of masculinity. The species name is a noun in apposition (in the nominative case), despite the Recommendation 31A of the ICZN (1999) about avoidance of personal names as nouns in appositions, because there is no case for it being confusing or misleading.</p>
            <p> Discussion. The male of  Monatractides heracles n. sp. is easily distinguished from other members of the genus due to the combination of a large idiosoma dimensions (&gt; length 1300 µm) and a narrow Y-shaped gnathosomal bay. Further diagnostic features of the new species include the relatively long medial suture line of Cx-II+III, posterior suture line of Cx-IV extending beyond posterior margin of genital field and medially approaching to each other, and by the shape of the palp with thick, pennate setae on P-2 and P-3, distal margin of P-2 and P-3 medially with several pointed extensions and a thickened and short ventral setae on P-4. </p>
            <p>Habitat. Sandy/bouldery stream, shaded by rain forest.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Borneo; known only from the locus typicus.</p>
