Cytaea flavolineata Berland, 1938: 157 –158; Prószyński, 1984: 29 (male holotype from Efate, Port-Villa, Risbec, 1933, MNHN 20576, examined); World Spider Catalog 2015.
Diagnosis. In comparison with the similar C. barbatissima (Keyserling) and C. nausori Berry, Beatty & Prószyński, which have similar embolus, RTA has distal notch (Fig. 39). It differs from C. piscula (L. Koch), which has distal notch on RTA, by the thoracic slope, which starts well behind PLE (Fig. 38) and by the narrower tegulum and wider embolus coil (Figs 39, 41).
Redescription. Male (holotype). Cephalothorax dark-brown, covered with sparse light-reflecting scales, more numerous on sides (Figs 34, 38). Eyes surroundings black. Eye field wider than long, narrowing posteriorly, its length 45% of CL. Fovea short, located between PLE. Thorax with three lighter stripes (Fig. 34). Abdomen greybrown, with many lighter spots and sparse light-reflecting scales. Spinnerets greyish. Clypeus light-brown, narrower (28%) than AME diameter, covered with long, white hairs, sparse white scales and some protruding setae (Fig. 36). Chelicerae slender, vertical, light-brown, with grey spots making longitudinal stripe (Fig. 36); promargin with three teeth, retromarginal tooth bicuspidate (Fig. 37). Venter greyish-brown with pattern as in Fig. 35. Pedipalps light-brown (Figs 39–40), tibia and patella prolaterally grey-brown, femur proximally greyish, and with 1-1-2 dorsal spines. RTA of medium length, hooked apically (Fig. 42), with distal notch (Fig. 39). Legs I lightbrown, coxae–patellae lighter; spination: fI: dorsal 1-1-5; pI: prolateral 1, retrolateral 1; tI: dorsal 1-0, prolateral 1- 1, retrolateral 1-1, ventral 2-2-2; mI: prolateral 1-1, retrolateral 1-1, ventral 2-2. Other legs light brown. Dimensions. CL 1.99, CW 1.51, CH 1.00, AL 1.89, AW 1.19, EFL 0.90, AEW 1.34, PEW 1.12, leg I: 4.19 (1.19 + 0.70 + 0.99 + 0.86 + 0.45), leg II: missing, leg III: 4.27 (1.41 + 0.65 + 0.74 + 1.03 + 0.44), leg IV: 4.12 (1.31 + 0.47 + 0.83 + 1.06 + 0.45).
