Fig. 33
Diagnosis
The female has an epigyne whose structure resembles that in Hyllus ignotus Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2022, consisting of very short copulatory ducts and large spherical spermathecae. The two species differ by the trajectory of the copulatory ducts, parallel to the body axis in H. ignotus but perpendicular in the newly described species.
Etymology
The specific name is Latin, meaning ‘pretty’ and refers to the appearance of this spider.

Diagnosis

Fig. 36
Diagnosis
The male of this species has a palp similar to that in males of Icius insolidus (Wesołowska, 1999) from southern Africa. The two species can easily be distinguished by the shape of the tibial apophysis. As seen in lateral view, it is curved in Icius hortensis sp. nov. and straight in I. insolidus. Moreover, the newly described species has a unique palpal femur with large outgrowth on retrolateral surface in the distal part.
Etymology
The name is a Latin adjective, referring to a ‘garden’ and alludes to the collecting place of the spider, the Botanical Gardens in Entebbe.

Chelicerae big, promargin with two teeth, retromargin with single tooth (Fig. 36B–C), inner surface concave at base, sclerotized grate-like structure on external surface (it might be a stridulatory organ). Sternum brown with dark rims.

description:
Identifying functions of proteins using traditional methods is challenging as remote homologs often lack detectable sequence similarity despite maintaining functional similarity. Through exceptional manual effort, scientists have functionally annotated ~500,000 proteins in UniProtKB, but these annotations are heavily biased toward well-studied organisms, greatly undersampling the millions of species on Earth and their billions of unexplored sequences. We present a novel method for identifying remote protein homologs through data augmentation, reducing the 20-letter amino acid alphabet into a binary representation (hydrophobic vs. polar) and using short subsequences (10-30 amino acids) to identify biochemically similar protein domains. Our approach effectively expands the searchable sequence space by several orders of magnitude, with ongoing benchmarking against established orthology detection and functional annotation methods. In the marine chordate Botryllus schlosseri, our method identifies functional annotations missed by conventional tools like BLAST, HMMER, and Foldseek. For example, in the previously unannotated Botryllus histocompatibility factor (BHF), our approach reveals multiple functional domains such as nuclear localization sequences, DNA binding regions, and membrane tether interactions; these have been validated through in vitro experiments showing fluorescently tagged BHF localizing to the cellular membrane. This work establishes protein k-mer data augmentation as an effective approach for bridging major evolutionary gaps in sequence annotation, providing a foundation for characterizing the vast number of proteins with unknown function and expanding our understanding of protein diversity across the tree of life.

Fig. 40
Diagnosis
The species has a fissident chelicera, which is characteristic for the genus. The female differs from Longarenus brachycephalus Simon, 1903 in having an epigyne with the anterior heart-shaped depression. The course of the seminal ducts is also different (compare Fig. 40D with Wesołowska & Edwards 2012: fig. 59).
Etymology
The specific epithet is a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality.

Fig. 45
Diagnosis
This species is related to Mexcala macilenta Wesołowska & Russell-Smith, 2000. In the newly described species, the male has a large semicircular lobe below the base of the embolus, which is absent in males of M. macilenta (compare Fig. 45A with Wesołowska & Russell-Smith 2000: fig. 181). The female has a large oval epigynal depression with the copulatory ducts visible on the sides of the depression, while the depression in females of M. macilenta is trapezoidal and the copulatory ducts are visible within this depression.
Etymology
Specific name is Latin, meaning ‘unexpected’.

Redescription
Description of male in Wesołowska (2001). General appearance in Fig. 46A. Characteristic white scales on palpal tibia.
Female
MEASUREMENTS. Cephalothorax length 1.2, width 1.0, height 0.4. Eye field length 0.5, anterior and posterior width 0.6. Abdomen length 1.5, width 1.2. Tiny spider.
CARAPACE. Dark brown with black eye field, bearing translucent hairs. Mouthparts and sternum brown.
ABDOMEN. Rounded, dark grey, clothed in greyish hairs, with two pairs of round light spots composed of white scales. Dorsum of abdomen clothed in brown hairs. Spinnerets grey.
LEGS. Light brown with darker hairs.
EPIGYNE. Strongly sclerotized (Fig. 46B–C). Copulatory openings placed laterally, near posterior border; copulatory ducts short, parallel to epigynal border, further directed anteriorly; spermathecae big, globular, thick-walled (Fig. 46D).
Distribution
Known from Kenya and Uganda.
Remarks
The female of this species is described here for the first time.
Remarks
Only one female is available, whose features show close relationship to other thiratoscirtines. However, due to the unusual dentition of chelicerae, we decided to create a new genus for it. This will need confirmation in the future, when males are discovered. The dentition of chelicerae does not reflect all relationships within the Salticidae, but remains a good diagnostic feature for some taxa.

Fig. 47
Diagnosis
The female is similar to those of Myrmarachne hesperia (Simon, 1887) and Myrmarachne mussungue Wanless, 1978 (= M. evidens, see below), but can be recognized by its characteristic black colouration and strongly shining, white streaks on abdomen, whereas other species are lighter, without this pattern on abdomen.
Etymology
The name is Latin, meaning ‘flashing’ and referring to the shiny metallic abdomen.

Unknown.
Female
General appearance as in Fig. 47A–C, body slender.
MEASUREMENTS. Cephalothorax length 2.5, width 1.0, height 0.8. Eye field length 1.0, anterior width 0.9, posterior width 1.0. Abdomen length 4.0, width 1.0.
CARAPACE. Dark brown, bearing long thin transparent hairs, cephalic part higher than thoracic, light patches composed of white hairs in constriction laterally. Mouthparts brown with lighter tips. Chelicerae with six promarginal and five retromarginal teeth. Sternum brown, narrow posteriorly.
ABDOMEN. Long and thin, black with metallic lustre, white hairs form on sides large triangular spots reaching to dorsum as stripes. White hairs form poorly contrasted light transverse streaks on dorsum. Venter black with weakly sclerotized ventral scutum. Spinnerets black.
LEGS. Leg IV longest, coxa black with triangular yellowish spot on ventral surface, trochanter yellowish with black thin streak on external side, femur dark brown with slightly lighter median ring, other segments yellow. Legs I–III yellow. First tibia with three pairs and metatarsus with two pairs of ventral spines.
EPIGYNE. With paired pouches (Fig. 47D–E), internal structure as in Fig. 47F, inlet part of copulatory ducts very weakly sclerotized.
Remarks
Identifying the females of Myrmarachne proves to be extremely difficult, while they have very similar genitalia. The overall appearance is often also of little help as all the myrmarachnines are ant-like spiders. However, this female has such a distinctive habitus that we believe it represents a previously unknown species.
