Redescriptions Of Little Known Jumping Spider Genera (Araneae: Salticidae) From West Africa Author Szűts, T. Author Scharff, N. text Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 2005 51 4 357 378 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.12586019 2064-2474 12586019 Alfenus chrysophaeus SIMON , 1903 ( Figs 1B , 2 G-H, 3E-G) Alfenus calamistratus SIMON , 1903 b : 112 ; SIMON 1903 a : 722 . Diagnosis – Male palp with a short tibial apophysis, wide at base. Embolus short, with a membraneous basal part. Male holotype : Holotype pale, probably due to many years in ethanol. Carapace brownish, ocular area yellowish. The hairy appearance characteristic for the type species of the genus, Alfenus calamistratus , is not observable, moreover there is no hairs on the carapace. Chelicera with two smaller prolateral and one larger retrolateral teeth. Abdomen oval, covered with hairs, with brownish arrow-shaped pattern on a whitish background. Legs almost equal in length, the forelegs brownish, hind legs yellowish with darker stripes. Measurements – Male: total length 6.9. Carapace 3.25 long, 2.25 wide, 1.63 high at PLE. AEW 2.3, PEW 2.0, OCA 1.6 long. Abdomen 3.25 long, 1.65 wide. Palp – With simple structure ( Figs 3 E-F). Tibia with short apophysis. Bulbus weakly sclerotized (in contrast to A. calamistratus ), sperm ducts visible. Embolus short, with a membranous basal part. The palp of this species is so different from A. calamistratus that we are in doubt about the generic placement ( Figs 2D, F, H ). However, we have currently no suggestiuon for alternative placement of this species. Female: unknown. Distribution – Cameroon / Equatorial Guinea (see discussion under genus). Material examined – Type material: Male holotype (examined): “21994 Alf. chrysophaeus E. S: Cameroun ( la Escaul. )”; “21994” ( MNHN 21994 ). chrysophaeus G = male holotype , ventral view, H= palp of the holotype , dorsal view
