The Spider Genus Drymusa in the New World (Araneae: Scytodidae)
Abstract
The 2 known species of this genus in the New World (Drymusa nubila Simon and D. simoni Bryant) are redescribed; D. nubila is illustrated for the first time, and the lectotype is designated. A new species (D. dinora) is described from the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, with notes on habitat and distribution. This is the first record for the genus in the continental Neo-tropics and on the Pacific side, since the known species are from the Caribbean Islands and South Africa.Downloads
