Genus Nusatidia Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 View in CoL
Nusatidia Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001: 166.
Type species.
Matidia javana Simon, 1897 from Java, Krakatau.
Diagnosis.
Nusatidia is very similar to Malamatidia and Matidia by the pale, slender body (Figs 2E-H View Figure 2 , 4E-H View Figure 4 , 8E-H View Figure 8 ), but it can be recognised by the following somatic characters: sternum with a rectangular projection beyond coxae I (Fig. 10B View Figure 10 ) (vs. sternum unmodified in all other SE Asian clubionids, such as Malamatidia and Matidia (Figs 2H View Figure 2 , 4H View Figure 4 )); leg I shorter than legs II and IV (vs. leg I longest in Matidia ); male abdomen ventrally without pigmented spot (Fig. 10B View Figure 10 ) (vs. abdomen with dark spot on venter in Matidia ; Fig. 4F View Figure 4 ). In general, most Nusatidia species can be recognised by the male palp: threadlike embolus draped around tegulum, such as in N. camouflata (Fig. 9A-E View Figure 9 ) and N. changao (Fig. 11A-E View Figure 11 ), but not in N. luzonica (Simon, 1897) and N. aeria (Simon, 1897) (Fig. 7A-E View Figure 7 ). Despite the variable general shape of the epigyne, all Nusatidia species lack a central depression (Figs 12A, B View Figure 12 , 13A-C View Figure 13 , 14 A-C View Figure 14 ) (vs. epigynal plate with a central depression in Malamatidia (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ) or with one or two depressions in Matidia (Figs 4A, B View Figure 4 and 6A, B View Figure 6 )).
Description.
See Deeleman-Reinhold (2001).
Comments.
The somatic characters of Nusatidia species strongly suggest a close relationship with Matidia . However, both genera are possibly paraphyletic ( Versteirt et al. 2010). According to WSC (2021), only two described Nusatidia species were known from males: N. luzonica (Simon, 1897) and N. manipisea (Barrion & Litsinger, 1995), both from Luzon Island in the Philippines. We cannot rule out the possibility that these two species are conspecific to C. mianju sp. nov. and C. subjavana sp. nov.
