Figures 1 View Figure 1 A-D, 2A-N, 5
Type species Araneus falcatus Clerck, 1757 View in CoL (= Evarcha falcata (Clerck, 1757) View in CoL .
Documentation studied. Summary of world's literature in "Monograph of Salticidae View in CoL ( Araneae View in CoL ) of the World 1995-2016" Prószyński (2016a, b) and current literature.
Diagnosis. Key characters are shown on Fig. 1 View Figure 1 A-D, on comparative background of remaining four genera shown on Fig. 1 View Figure 1 E-V.
Description. Male: bulbus ovoid, broad (at least anteriorly), with high posterior protuberance ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 1 View Figure 1 ), embolus relatively broad, emerging anterolaterally (exact point of arising unknown), tibial apophysis long and anteriorly truncated ( Fig. 5E View Figure 5 1 View Figure 1 ). Female: epigyne with large, membranous "window", pockets lateral, moved anterior wards ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 2 View Figure 2 ) at about one third of length of epigyne, spermatheca consists of short, broad loop with strongly sclerotized walls ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 3 View Figure 3 ).
Composition (diagnostic documentation indicated in brackets). There are three relatively well defined species: Evarcha arcuata (Clerck, 1757) ( Figs 2 View Figure 2 L-N, 5I-I3), Evarcha falcata (Clerck, 1757) (Fig, 2A-F, 5A1-A3), Evarcha laetabunda (C. L. Koch, 1846) ( Figs 5E View Figure 5 1-E View Figure 1 2 View Figure 2 ). Adittionally, there are four uncertain species, possibly synonyms, requiring confirmation by revisionary research: Evarcha hoyi (Peckham & Peckham, 1883) ( Figs 2K View Figure 2 , 5D View Figure 5 1-D View Figure 1 3 View Figure 3 ), Evarcha michailovi Logunov, 1992 ( Figs 5H View Figure 5 1-H View Figure 1 2 View Figure 2 ), Evarcha proszynskii Marusik & Logunov, 1998 ( Figs 2 View Figure 2 G-J, 5C1-C3). Redescription is needed for, Evarcha falcata xinglongensis Yang & Tang, 1996 (Fig, 5G) and Evarcha mongolica Danilov & Logunov, 1994 ( Figs 5 View Figure 5 F-H1).
