However, we do not consider this a major drawback since in a recent contribution, Ott et al. (2015) synonymized Neonella cabana with Neonella montana based on specimens collected in southern Brazil, which had been noted as a possibility by Galiano (1998). In agreement with Ott and collaborators, we found that males of Neonella montana have variations in both somatic and reproductive structures. Therefore, an updated diagnosis including both sexes and an additional re-description of the male including the variation found in the palp of specimens from Argentina (near the type locality) are given below.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Males of Neonella montana are similar to those of Neonella colalao in sharing a comb-like, branched lamella of embolus (LE), but can be distinguished from this species by having non bifurcated terminal apex of the embolus (Fig. 3E; and Galiano (1998): Figs 11, 12, compare with Figs 7-10). Females of Neonella montana can be distinguished from the other species of Neonella by having only one opening on the epigynal plate, formed by a large, trapezoid atrium (Fig. 4E; and Galiano 1988: 447, Figs 14, 21).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male from Ciudad de Córdoba (IBSI-Ara 00243) (Fig. 3). Total length: 1.47. Carapace 0.67 long, 0.47 wide, 0.32 high; abdomen 0.67 long, 0.44 wide. Eye sizes: AME 0.15, ALE 0.10, PME 0.025, PLE 0.090. Ocular quadrangle 0.35 long. Anterior eye row 0.50 wide, posterior 0.50 wide. Clypeus height 0.012. Teeth of chelicerae inconspicuous. Sternum longer (0.32) than wide (0.22). Leg measurements: I 0.96 (0.31, 0.32, 0.17, 0.15); II 0.80 (0.25, 0.27, 0.15, 0.12); III 0.96 (0.27, 0.32, 0.19, 0.17); IV 1.15 (0.32, 0.40, 0.22, 0.20). Carapace light brown with narrow black margins. Cephalic region black, covered by white hairs; thoracic region with a lighter longitudinal band. Clypeus very low. Chelicerae tiny, yellow, light brown proximally. Legs light brown, with blackish irregular bands on femurs side (pro and retrolateral), and blackish rings around the distal ends of the patella and tibia, and scarcely on metatarsus. Sternum and labium yellow. Palp (Fig. 3 C–E): brown; cymbium yellow. Femur and patella black proximally, with a hook-shaped retrolateral apophysis (PA). Copulatory bulb light brown, with conspicuous tegular lobe (TL) and embolus base (EB). Embolus (E) short, with comb-like lamella (LE). Abdomen light brown, with a few scattered black hairs; with a pair of longitudinal dark stripes on the abdomen in anterior half, and the posterior half with chevrons. Dorsal abdomen completely covered with a scutum (DS). Spinnerets pale yellow. Variation (n=10): some specimens from Córdoba vary in thickness and shape of embolus and LE respectively; for comparison see Figure 4E; in addition, the blackish irregular bands of the femora may be less developed.</p><p>Female (Holotype, MACN-Ar 8409). The female is well illustrated and described in previous contributions: See Galiano (1988): 447 and illustration in Ott et al. (2015).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Central and southeast Argentina: in Córdoba (Fig. 1A) and Buenos Aires provinces, and southern Brazil: Rio Grande do Sul.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AE3AC708F32A61D78BDA32D33AB4BBF9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2015) extend the distribution of Neonella minuta toward Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), which was originally only known endemic to Buenos Aires (Argentina) by Galiano (1965). Our present work enhances the geographical distribution of this species, representing the westernmost record so far ( Córdoba province, Central Argentina).</p><p>Ecology of the collected species.</p><p>The three species of Neonella were collected during the spring and the summer but were not detected in the winter samples. They were found in the lower strata of vegetation (0 to 35 cm), consisting mainly of grasses and forbs. Neonella acostae was collected both within the urban environment (Fig. 1A, B) and in more natural sites on the periphery of the city (Fig. 1A, C), while Neonella montana and Neonella minuta were mostly collected from more natural sites with dense vegetation on the city periphery (Fig. 1A, C). Based on Cole’s index (1949), Neonella acostae was negatively associated with Neonella minuta (-0.44 ± 0.42; mean association ± standard error) and Neonella montana (-0.13 ± 0.11), suggesting moderately dissimilar habitat disturbance tolerances because Neonella acostae was collected at a wider range of sites in terms of plant cover, or alternatively a moderate degree of interspecific competition because they occasionally occurred at the same site. Cumming and Wesolowska (2004) explained high Salticidae richness in small suburban areas as a result of strong host-plant associations. More detailed studies of microhabitat use should be carried out to confirm these explanations. Neonella minuta and Neonella montana were not significantly associated (0.1 ± 0.11), suggesting independent occurrences of the species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AA3F4E5BA7E76A3EBA8AEE06D8E376EF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
