Species of the genus Nungara gen. nov. resemble those of the Neotropical genera Anaptomecus Simon, 1903, Sparianthina Banks, 1929, Guadana Rheims, 2010 and Caayguara Rheims, 2010 in having three promarginal teeth and intermarginal denticles on the chelicerae (Fig. 7; JäGER et al. 2009: figs. 10, 89, 109; RHEIMS 2010 a: fig. 7; 2010 b: fig. 2; GUALA et al. 2012: fig. 22). They are distinguished from Anaptomecus, Sparianthina and Guadana in having a short-toothed female pedipalp claw (Fig. 16) (long-toothed in the latter genera, see JäGER et al. 2009: figs. 13, 64; RHEIMS 2010 a: fig. 9) and from all four genera in having three pairs of ventral spines on tibiae I-II (four in Anaptomecus, Sparianthina and Guadana and two in Caayguara) and 4 - 6 strong setae at the base of fang (Fig. 7) (only one in the latter genera, see RHEIMS 2010 a: fig. 7; 2010 b: fig. 2; GUALA et al. 2012: figs. 19 - 20). Additionally, species of Nungara gen. nov. can be distinguished from those of all known Neotropical genera by the presence of a deep tegular groove on the male palp (Figs. 28, 39, 50) and a hood-like projection on the median septum of the female epigyne (Figs. 30, 41, 52).	en	Pinto, Elaine Cristina, Rheims, Cristina Anne (2016): A new genus of Neotropical spiders of the family Sparassidae (Arachnida: Araneae).

0F46878FFFDA6A4F26DFFD79FC49F97C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Based on previous subfamilial classifications (SIMON 1897, 1903, HOGG 1903, JäRVI 1912, 1914, PETRUNKEVITCH 1928, ROEWER 1954, JäGER 1998) and unpublished morphological evidences, MORADMAND et al. (2014: fig. 1) reported the current classification concept for all known genera of Sparassidae. Heteropodinae appears divided into two groups. The core group, Heteropodinae sensu stricto, includes the Australasian and African genera while the Neotropical genera, Anaptomecus, Sparianthina, Guadana and Caayguara group under Heteropodinae sensu latu. In this paper, the authors investigated the phylogeny of Sparassidae using four molecular markers. However, the sampling included only two Neotropical representatives, Polybetes pythagoricus (Holmberg, 1875) and Olios cf. sanctivicenti (Simon, 1897). The latter species belongs to an unknown genus, currently misplaced in Olios, and shares with Nungara gen. nov. the presence of three promarginal teeth and intermarginal denticles on the chelicerae, a short-toothed female pedipalp claw and three pairs of ventral spines on tibiae I-II. Their results show O. cf. santivicenti sister to P. pythagoricus, at the base of a large clade, sister to Heteropodinae sensu strictu (see MORADMAND et al. 2014: fig. 3). Based on these evidences the authors classify O. cf. sanctivicenti as Heteropodinae sensu latu. However, no representatives of Anaptomecus, Sparianthina, Guadana or Caayguara were included in this analysis and the relationship between these genera, Nungara gen. nov. and O. cf. sanctivicenti remains unresolved. Thus, taking into account the morphological aspects of these genera and species, Heteropodinae sensu latu should include only Anaptomecus, Sparianthina and Guadana. These genera share with Heteropodinae sensu strictu the long-toothed female pedipalp claw, the presence of four pairs of ventral spines on tibiae I-II and a single strong setae at the base of fang (see JäGER et al. 2009: figs. 10, 89, 109; RHEIMS 2010 a: fig. 7; GUALA et al. 2012: fig. 22). Nungara gen. nov., Caayguara and O. cf. sanctivicenti, all with a short-toothed female pedipalp claw, two or three pairs of ventral spines on tibiae I-II and more than five strong setae at the base of fang (see Figs. 7, 16; RHEIMS 2010 b: figs. 2, 7), should be excluded from Heteropodinae sensu latu. Nevertheless, their relationship to one another as well as their placement within Sparassidae remains unresolved until a more comprehensive analysis, including more Neotropical representatives, is conducted.	en	Pinto, Elaine Cristina, Rheims, Cristina Anne (2016): A new genus of Neotropical spiders of the family Sparassidae (Arachnida: Araneae).
