Note.
Prószyński’s (1987) illustrations of Simon’s type specimen characterize the male well. Two additional males illustrated here (Figs 143-147 View Figures 143–150 ) are conspecific or at least very close (the male from Brunei, Figs 146 View Figures 143–150 , 147 View Figures 143–150 , has a slightly narrower embolus). Females of the species have not been reported, although we now tentatively identify, as the female of S. opaciceps , the specimen MRB079 from Ulu Gombak used by Maddison et al. (2014) for molecular phylogeny (Figs 148-150 View Figures 143–150 ). That the female is a Stagetillus is suggested by its similarities to the male in size and body form, carapace shape, yellow coloration, and visibility of the ocular digestive diverticulum. The modest ECP and epigynal openings are what might be expected from the small simple RTA and embolus of the known male of S. opaciceps . Given that Ulu Gombak is only 70 km from a known male of S. opaciceps (Figs 143 View Figures 143–150 , 144 View Figures 143–150 ), the match of the Ulu Gombak female to S. opaciceps is credible. We therefore label the female, used here for molecular data, as S. cf. opaciceps (Figs 148-150 View Figures 143–150 ). In WPM’s lab notebooks the informal code for the female was “STULG”.
