The pholcid spiders of Sri Lanka (Araneae: Pholcidae) Author Huber, Bernhard A. text Zootaxa 2019 2019-01-23 4550 1 1 57 journal article 27502 10.11646/zootaxa.4550.1.1 291701d4-652e-440e-adab-f6b0201c0972 1175-5326 2625030 2F7D1EC4-D4ED-4FAE-B227-CF7B79EAE833 Holocneminus multiguttatus ( Simon, 1905 ) Psilochorus multiguttatus Simon 1905 : 56 (juv., Java ) Holocneminus multiguttatus — Deeleman-Reinhold 1995 : 34 , figs 1–8 ( ♂ ♀ ). Huber 2000 : fig. 165. Murphy & Murphy 2000 : fig. 47.2. Eberle et al. 2018 (molecular data). Notes . Simon (1905) described this species based on a juvenile from Java (deposited in Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris). Several undescribed species of Holocneminus occur in Southeast Asia (B.A. Huber, unpublished data), so the identity of Simon’s species is uncertain. I follow Deeleman-Reinhold (1995) in considering the widespread species to represent H. multiguttatus . It ranges from Sri Lanka to Indonesia , but has been recorded only once from Sri Lanka before ( Deeleman-Reinhold 1995 ) (Ratnapura, 6.68°N , 80.38°E ). New records .

Natural history . This species was found in rather dry leaf litter. It was the only pholcid species in the Badagamuwa secondary forest. At Mitirigala it shared the leaf litter with an unidentified species of Wanniyala .
