Note. The type of Rhitymna cursor comb. nov. was only recently made available. It is clear from the congruent female copulatory organs as well as from spination and measurements that it is a senior synonym of R. simoni Jäger, 2003 . The holotype female of R. cursor differs from the type of R. simoni in the following characters: 1. Distinct central transversal rim almost straight and with an additional ridge anteriorly, 2. Epigynal field not as elongated as in holotype of R. simoni , 3. Posterior ducts broader than in holotype of R. simoni ( Figs 33–35 View FIGURES 33–35 ).
Measurements (holotype R. cursor ): PL 4.9, PW 5.4, AW 3.5, OL 6.4, OW 2.9. Chelicerae with 3 anterior and 3 posterior teeth. Palpal claw with 6 teeth. Spination (leg III missing): Palp 131, 0 0 1, 1111, 1012, Femur I–II 323, IV 321, Patella I–II 101, IV 100, Tibia I–II 2226, IV 2126, Metatarsus I–II 2024, IV 3014/3034 + ventral distal median spine. AME 0.37. No slit sense organs could be found close to the epigyne.
Distribution. Singapore, Indonesia (Java). The female holotype of T. cursor extends the known distribution range from Java to Singapore [ Malaysia was given in previous versions of the World Spider Catalog, probably according to the title of Workman’s book; the label states clearly Singapore as collecting locality as it was listed in Thorell’s original description] ( Fig. 61 View FIGURE 61 ).
