Hygropoda linearis ( Simon, 1903) View in CoL . New combination.

Hypsithylla linearis Simon, 1903: 38 , immature female holotype from Antongil, Madagascar, type not found in the collection of Muséum National d´Histoire Naturelle, Paris (MNHN) (not examined).

Note. The type-specimen of the type species was not found in the collection of MNHN (Christine Rollard, pers. comm.), but Simon (1903: 38) mentioned long and flexible tarsi in the original description, a character known only from Hygropoda View in CoL and Megadolomedes Davies & Raven, 1980 View in CoL in Pisauridae View in CoL . Other characters that could be used to differentiate the members of Hygropoda View in CoL from those of Megadolomedes View in CoL are: relative length of legs (4123 in Megadolomedes View in CoL and 123 in Hygropoda View in CoL ), geographic distribution ( Megadolomedes View in CoL is endemic to Australia), body size (Megadolemedes females are much larger than males), eye proportions (AME nearly the same size as ALE in Megadolomedes View in CoL ) and cheliceral promargin and retromargin teeth (three/ three in Hygropoda View in CoL and three/ four in Megadolomedes View in CoL ). The differences between the genera presented here are based only on non-genitalic characters, once there is no information on genitalic characters for H. linearis , since the only known specimen is a juvenile.
