An update on the ant-mimicking genus Corinnomma Karsch, 1880 (Araneae, Corinnidae, Castianeirinae) Author Sankaran, Pradeep M. text Zootaxa 2023 2023-03-14 5254 4 534 544 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5254.4.5 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.5254.4.5 1175-5326 7732167 48C9CAB2-8946-4815-9D44-87C5CD389718 Corinnomma simplex Zhang, Jin & Zhang, 2022 Fig. 5E Corinnomma simplex Zhang, Jin & Zhang, 2022: 247 , figs 5A–D, 6A–E, 9C–D, 10C–D (♁ ♀ ). Corinnomma severum Sankaran, 2021: 548 , figs 7A–F, 8A–C (♁; misidentified). Diagnosis. Corinnomma simplex is closely related to C . severum in the general morphology of the genitalia, but the males can be separated from those of the latter species by the short embolus (vs. comparatively long in C . severum ) and the embolus directed at 12-o’clock in ventral view (vs. 1-o’clock in C . severum ) (cf. Fig. 5E with 5D), and the females by S-shaped anterior spermathecae II (vs. inverted J-shaped in C . severum ) (cf. Zhang et al. 2022 : fig. 6E with Zhang et al. 2022 : fig. 4E). FIGURE 5.

A C. javanum Simon, 1905 (syntype); B C. moerens Thorell, 1890 (holotype); C C. plumosum ( Thorell, 1881 ) (holotype); D C. severum ( Thorell, 1877 ) (holotype); E C. simplex Zhang, Jin & Zhang, 2022 .
