Euophryini: Illargus and Maeota groups

( Figure 21 )

Several recent studies have documented the great diversity of the Neotropical Euophryini ( Zhang & Maddison 2012, 2013, 2015). Many of these spiders feed on ants and live close to the ground, where they would not be seen by an observer focusing on above-ground foliage. The genus Corythalia C. L. Koch 1850 was recently revised, in part, but only microscopic characters and not field marks were depicted in this revision (Bayer, HoMfer & Metzner 2020). Here we include only a single species of this large group.
