Pseudomogrus Simon, 1937: 1185, 1194 (type Attus uni-vittatus Simon, 1871).

Yllenus Simon, 1868 (type Y. arenarius Simon, 1868): Prószyński 1968: 415 (synonymy of Pseudomogrus).

Logunyllus Prószyński, 2016: 29 (type Attus albocinctus Kroneberg, 1875), syn. nov.

New and revalidated combinations. Simon (1937) placed two species in Pseudomogrus: P. univittatus and P. saliens (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1876). Prószyński (1968) synonymized Pseudomogrus with Yllenus, but Prószyński (2016) placed both, P. univittatus and P. saliens, into Logunyllus and therefore Logunyllus is considered a subjective junior synonym of Pseudomogrus, re-established and removed from synonymy with Yllenus, and 31 new and two revalidated combinations are proposed (distribution information from the WSC 2019):

Comment. Prószyński (1968) and Logunov & Marusik (2003) considered all species of Pseudomogrus to belong to the Yllenus albocinctus-group.

New and revalidated combinations. Peckham & Peckham (1892) described Hermosa as a monotypic genus for a new species from Madagascar. Simon (1901) synonymized Hermosa with Myrmarachne based on a personal communication with L. C. Peckham. Prószyński (2016) placed seven species in his new genus Myrmavola, including H. volatilis. Therefore, Myrmavola is considered a subjective junior synonym of Hermosa, re-established and removed from synonymy with Myrmarachne, and six new combinations and one revalidated combination are proposed (distribution information from WSC 2019):

Comments. This genus has an unusual range and is known from two distinct regions: 1) Africa (central and southern, Madagascar) and 2) Southeast Asia (South China to Sulawesi). Hermosa volatilis was described based on females from Madagascar, but the male was described based on specimens from China. Wanless (1978) revised the African Myrmarachne and placed H. volatilis in the volatilis species group together with five other species. Only one of these species, Hermosa andrewi (Wanless, 1976) comb. nov., was placed by Prószyński (2016) in the genus Myrmavola. The other species considered by Wanless (1978) in the volatilis-group were transferred by Prószyński (2016) either to Toxeus C. L. Koch, 1846 or remained in Myrmarachne (WSC 2019). From a biogeographic point of view it is a quite possible that the African and the Asian members of Hermosa are not congeneric.

While splitting Myrmarachne and other genera, Prószyński (2016) did not mention earlier established generic synonyms (cf. Edwards 2013 for Myrmarachne s. lat.). At least three of these might be available names for genera split from Myrmarachne by Prószyński (2016):

Savaiia Marples, 1957 (type S. punctata Marples, 1957, only ♀ known) was synonymized with Pseudicius Simon, 1885 by Prószyński (1990: 316). Currently the type species of Savaiia, S. punctata, was transferred by Prószyński (2017b) to Afraflacilla Berland & Millot, 1941, but he did not synonymize the genus, so even the transfer of the species was not accepted in the WSC (2019) and Savaiia is still treated as a junior synonym of Pseudicius, but not of Afraflacilla. We compared published figures of the type species of the three genera (Afraflacilla bamakoi Berland & Millot, 1941: Żabka 1993: fig. 3A-C ♂ and fig. 3D-E Afraflacilla sp. ♀ [♀ of A. bamakoi is unknown]; Pseudicius encarpatus (Walckenaer, 1802): Metzner 1999: pl. 57; Savaiia punctata: Berry et al. 1998: figs 60-61) and agree with Prószyński that S. punctata seems to be closer to Afrafacilla than to Pseudicius. Given that the type species of Afraflacilla is described from Africa, the type species of Pseudicius from Europe and Savaiia from Pacific islands, we leave it to a proper revision to clarify the current situation.

Hasarina Schenkel, 1963 (type H. contortospinosa Schenkel, 1963) was synonymized with Nigorella Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz, 2008 (type N. aethiopica Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz, 2008) by Prószyński (2018b: 157), without recognizing, that Hasarina is older than Nigorella and would become the valid generic name (not accepted in the WSC 2019). We compared published figures of N. aethiopica (Wesołowska & Tomasiewicz 2008: figs 130-143) with figures of H. contortospinosa (Peng et al. 1993: figs 254-263) and do not believe them to be congeneric. Furthermore, Nigorella was described from Africa and was restricted to Africa until Prószyński (2018) transferred several Asian species from Evarcha to Nigorella, which in our opinion needs revision.

Iberattus semiglabratus (Simon, 1868)

Attus semi-glabratus Simon, 1868: 561 (♂).

Euophrys semiglabrata Hęciak & Prószyński 1984: 378, figs 1-14 (♂ ♀).

Euophrys semiglabrata Barrientos et al. 2014: 36, figs 15-17 (♂).

Iberattus semiglabratus Prószyński et al. 2018: 85, fig. 1A-T (♂ ♀).

Comments. Attus semi-glabratus Simon, 1868 was described based on the holotype male: “Un seul individu ♂ pris à Reynosa dans les Asturies” [“A single ♂ taken at Reynosa in Asturias” now spelled ‘Reinosa’, NW Spain]. In the material examined Prószyński et al. (2018) wrote “Lectotype male, paralectotypes: 4 males and 4 females, original collection label is: “902. Phl.[egra] semiglabrata E. S. Astur., Portug., la Rhune” – collection Simon – MNHN Paris (lectotype designated by Hęciak & Prószyński 1984)”. So, Hęciak & Prószyński (1984) and Prószyński et al. (2018) were not dealing with the holotype male, but with a sample possibly containing the holotype and other specimens collected after the species was described. In addition, Prószyński et al. (2018) mentioned that the authors were not sure if males and females belong to the same species “Matching of sexes and conspecificity not verified”. This is not a proper basis to separate a new genus from the genus Euophrys, but we leave it to a revision to clarify this situation.
