Allomedmassa, a new spider genus from evergreen forests of Southeast Asia (Araneae: Corinnidae)
Allomedmassa gen. nov. is established for three relatively large, non ant-mimicking species of the subfamily Castianeirinae from evergreen forests of Thailand and Borneo. The new genus can be distinguished from other Asian Castianeirinae genera by the strongly convex dorsal surface of its carapace,...
