Gen. Logunyllus Prószyński, 2016 gen. n.

Figures 6D – F , 9C – D

Type species. Attus albocinctus Kroneberg, 1875 .

Documentation studied. Comparative diagnostic drawings of 35 species in Prószynski (2016a) and in original literature.

Etymology. Named in honor of prominent arachnologist – Dr. D.V. Logunov [LOGUN-ov-YLL- US], author of a large number of publications on Salticidae , including the big monograph of the genus Yllenus . Grammar gender - masculine.

Diagnosis. General characters and habitus appearance ( Figs. 6D – F ) shared with remaining genera of YLLENINES – Marusyllus Prószyński, 2016 gen. n. (see below) and Yllenus Simon, 1868 , but palps and epigyne are "normal" - that is male cymbium and embolus are relatively short, conductor is slender, while bulbus is relatively large ( Fig. 9C ). The articulating apparatus consists of complicated processes on cymbium and tibia. The epigyne of female is relatively strongly sclerotized, the copulatory canals are straight, or form

The authorship of Yllenus arenarius is written differently in various publications, usually "Menge in Simon, 1868", including Bonnet 1959: 4904 (although he sacrificed half a page to prove that Menge himself did not use name Yllenus and described his species as Marpesia arenicolor only in 1877). World Spider Catalog (version 2016) also uses that authors' combination citing the paper, but "abbreviates" the authorship of species to nonexistent paper "Menge 1868". Radical proposal to limit authors’ quotation to the authors' of publication only (http://www.peckhamia.com/salticidae/introduction/I_About_this_database.html#different), illustrated by example of this very species, was overlooked. I may add that the only author quoting correctly Yllenus arenarius Simon, 1868 was Roewer (1954: 1252).

simple loops, the latter often consist of distal - stronger sclerotized, and proximal - less sclerotized parts ( Fig. 9D ).

Remarks. The description of this genus upgrades, without other changes, previously described group of species Yllenus ( albocinctus group) ( Prószynski, 1968: 455, Logunov, Marusik 2003 b: 23).

Distribution. Asia: desert and grassland zones, Europe: Mediterranean, Arabian Peninsula, Israel, N Africa.
