Type species. Telemofila samosirensis Wunderlich, 1995 from Sumatra, Indonesia. Diagnosis. Telemofila can be distinguished from Telema by the following characters: leg formula is 1-4-2-3 (vs. 1-2-4-3), tibial glands are belt-shaped (Fig. 1G ) (vs. plate-shaped); a cymbial apophysis is present (vs. absent), the embolus is sickle shaped or claw-like (vs. duckbill-shaped), and the length of the embolus is three times shorter than the diameter of the bulb (vs. two times shorter); the distal part of the receptacle is swollen (vs. not swollen). Description. Total length: 0.90-1.27 (male), 0.98-1.11 (female). Carapace 0.37-0.50 long. Sternum 0.20-0.25 long, with several sparse setae. Tibia I 0.51-0.82 long, leg formula: 1-4-2-3, belt-shaped glands present (Fig. 1G ). Six eyes ringed with black, body blue or brown. For males, cymbial apophysis present mesially, length as wide as cymbial base (cf. Wunderlich 1995 : fig. 16), embolus sickle-shaped, length of embolus 1/3 as long as diameter of bulb (cf. Wunderlich 1995 : fig. 17). For females, receptacle bean shaped or globular, neck narrower than distal part (cf. Wang and Li 2010a : figs 11A, B, 15A, B). Composition. Telemofila fabata (Wang & Li, 2010) comb. nov., T. malaysiaensis comb. nov., T. pecki (Brignoli, 1980), and T. samosirensis Wunderlich, 1995. Distribution. Rainforests in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysian Borneo, sites 17-19 in Fig. 33 ) and a cave in New Caledonia. Comments. The placement of T. pecki in this genus is dubious because its leg formula is 1-2-4-3 ( Brignoli 1980 ) and the embolus is triangular (cf. Brignoli 1980 : figs 1, 2). These characters are inconsistent with the genus characters of Telemofila . However, we have been unable to examine the types of T. pecki , and molecular data from this species is lacking.
