Genus Talaus Simon, 1886

Type species.

Talaus triangulifer Simon, 1886

Notes.

Before this study, the genus included 13 species (WSC 2023). One-third of these species are recorded from southern China; the validity of one species, T. xiphosus was doubted by Benjamin (2020) and is confirmed as a synonym in this study; therefore, only 12 Talaus species are restricted to Southeast Asia and the Indomalayan Realm (Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam; WSC 2023). The 13th species, T. limbatus from South Africa, is probably misplaced.
