Abstract

A new cave-dwelling huntsman spider species from Palawan, Philippines is described: Heteropoda simoneallmannae sp. nov. (female) from the Puerto Princesa Underground River Cave system. It represents, besides H. steineriBayer & Jäger, 2009 from Laos, the second species within the genus with true cave adaptations like reduction of eye size and pigments.
