Description

Sympolymnia , a new genus of myrmecomorph jumping spider belonging to the tribe Simonellini Peckham, Peckham & Wheeler, 1889, is described. It comprises five species: the type species, Sympolymnia lucasi (Taczanowski, 1871), comb. nov. , Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham, 1892), comb. nov. , Sympolymnia edwardsi (Cutler, 1985), comb. nov. and Sympolymnia shinahota sp. nov. and S. cutleri sp. nov. Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham, 1892) is recorded from Bolivia for the first time. Ontogenetic shifts of ant-resemblance are observed: Juveniles of S. cutleri sp. nov. and S. lauretta mimic black ants of the genus Crematogaster Lund, 1831, but those of S. shinahota sp. nov. most closely resemble Pseudomyrmex ethicus (Forel, 1911). Adults of S. cutleri sp. nov. , S. lauretta and S. shinahota sp. nov. resemble the ant Camponotus sanctaefidei Dalla Torre, 1892 and orange adults of S. shinahota sp. nov. are putative mimics of Camponotus latangulus Roger, 1863.

Translated Description (Arabic)

تم وصف Sympolymnia، وهو جنس جديد من العنكبوت القافز myrmecomorph ينتمي إلى قبيلة Simonellini Peckham، Peckham & Wheeler، 1889. وهو يتألف من خمسة أنواع: نوع الأنواع، Sympolymnia lucasi (Taczanowski، 1871)، مشط nov. ، Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham، 1892)، مشط nov. ، Sympolymnia edwardsi (Cutler، 1985)، مشط nov. و Sympolymnia shinahota sp. nov. و S. cutleri sp. nov. تم تسجيل Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham، 1892) من بوليفيا لأول مرة. لوحظت تحولات تطورية في تشابه النمل: الأحداث من S. cutleri sp. nov. و S. lauretta تحاكي النمل الأسود من جنس Crematogaster Lund، 1831، ولكن تلك الخاصة بـ S. shinahota sp. nov. تشبه إلى حد كبير Pseudomyrmex ethicus (Forel، 1911). يشبه البالغون من S. cutleri sp. nov. و S. lauretta و S. shinahota sp. nov. النمل Camponotus sanctaefidei Dalla Torre، 1892 والبالغون البرتقاليون من S. shinahota sp. nov. هم محاكاة مفترضة لـ Camponotus latangulus Roger، 1863.

Sympolymnia , un nouveau genre d'araignée sautante myrmécomorphe appartenant à la tribu Simonellini Peckham, Peckham & Wheeler, 1889, est décrit. Il comprend cinq espèces : l'espèce type, Sympolymnia lucasi (Taczanowski, 1871), comb. nov. , Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham, 1892), comb. nov. , Sympolymnia edwardsi (Cutler, 1985), comb. nov. et Sympolymnia shinahota sp. nov. et S. cutleri sp. nov. Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham, 1892) est enregistrée en Bolivie pour la première fois. Des changements ontogénétiques de ressemblance avec les fourmis sont observés : les juvéniles de S. cutleri sp. nov. et de S. lauretta imitent les fourmis noires du genre Crematogaster Lund, 1831, mais ceux de S. shinahota sp. nov. ressemblent le plus à Pseudomyrmex ethicus (Forel, 1911). Les adultes de S. cutleri sp. nov. , S. lauretta et S. shinahota sp. nov. ressemblent à la fourmi Camponotus sanctaefidei Dalla Torre, 1892 et les adultes orange de S. shinahota sp. nov. sont des imitations putatives de Camponotus latangulus Roger, 1863.

Translated Description (Spanish)

Se describe Sympolymnia, un nuevo género de araña saltadora mirmecomorfa perteneciente a la tribu Simonellini Peckham, Peckham & Wheeler, 1889. Comprende cinco especies: la especie tipo, Sympolymnia lucasi (Taczanowski, 1871), comb. nov. , Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham, 1892), comb. nov. , Sympolymnia edwardsi (Cutler, 1985), comb. nov. y Sympolymnia shinahota sp. nov. y S. cutleri sp. nov. Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham, 1892) se registra de Bolivia por primera vez. Se observan cambios ontogenéticos de semejanza de hormigas: los juveniles de S. cutleri sp. nov. y S. lauretta imitan a las hormigas negras del género Crematogaster Lund, 1831, pero los de S. shinahota sp. nov. se parecen más a Pseudomyrmex ethicus (Forel, 1911). Los adultos de S. cutleri sp. nov. , S. lauretta y S. shinahota sp. nov. se asemejan a la hormiga Camponotus sanctaefidei Dalla Torre, 1892 y los adultos anaranjados de S. shinahota sp. nov. son supuestos imitadores de Camponotus latangulus Roger, 1863.
