3E10D234105CFF90FCFEA3C7FED8D870.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Pinkfloydia harveii Dimitrov & Hormiga sp. nov. Etymology: The genus is named after the British psychedelic and progressive rock band Pink Floyd. In its heyday Pink Floyd was an innovative group that created music, which was an eclectic mixture of styles. The band also pioneered the use of very sophisticated lights and lasers in their live shows and often had highly innovative album covers. Pinkfloydia has very unusual morphological features and its name aims to reflect its uniqueness. Pinkfloydia is an undeclinable proper name and feminine in gender. Diagnosis: Pinkfloydia can be easily distinguished from all other tetragnathid genera by the conspicuously enlarged PME placed on short ocular protrusions and by the conical and distinctively elevated cephalic area (Figs 9 A, 10 A, 12 A, 14 G). All other eyes are placed at the same level on the prominent cephalic region and are much smaller in size (Figs 9 B, 10 C, 12 A, D, 14 E). Males of Pinkfloydia differ from other tetragnathid males in having several conspicuously large macrosetae at the base of the paracymbium (Figs 8 A – C, 13 A – D, G) and an area of the cymbium covered with numerous modified short setae (cuspules) concentrated dorsally on the cymbial ectomedian process (Figs 8 B, E, 13 A, C, H, I). In addition, the Pinkfloydia male palp has a well developed metine embolic apophysis and an embolus that carries numerous short denticles (Figs 8 A – C, 13 B, E, F, 14 A); the cymbium has a well developed cymbial ecto-basal and cymbial ecto-median processes (Figs 8 A, 13 A, D). Females are diagnosed by the presence of a flat epigynal plate that has numerous pores opening on its ventral surface (Figs 8 F, 15 D – E, G; no similar plate has been described in any other member of Tetragnathidae). Copulatory openings are displaced caudally and hidden by the distal edge of the epigynum in a transversal groove (Figs 8 G, H, 15 F). Description: Tiny spiders, total length 2.77 – 3.75 in males, 3.54 – 4.51 in females (but note that so far P. harveii is the only known species in this new genus). Cephalothorax brown, longer than wide – 1.36 – 1.61 long in males and 1.68 – 1.86 in females – with a well marked fovea (Figs 9 C, 10 B); cephalic area conical, conspicuously elevated and slightly projected over the chelicerae (Figs 9 A, 10 A, 12 A, 14 G). Sternum slightly longer than wide; conspicuously narrower distally, and with a ridged cuticle (Figs 12 C, 14 J). AME slightly larger than ALE and PLE but much smaller than PME; PME much larger than the other eyes and placed over small rounded rises at the top of the elevated cephalic area; PLE and ALE juxtaposed over a slight elevation (Figs 12 A, 14 G). Clypeus height more than one AME diameter, slightly higher in males than in females. Chelicerae cylindrical, longer and slender in males, with three teeth on the anterior and two teeth on the posterior margin (Figs 12 D, 14 E). Chelicerae with two small denticles near the fang joint (Fig. 12 I). Legs without dorsal femoral trichobothria in both sexes. Abdomen rounded with a prominent caudal tubercle, more elongated in males (Figs 12 F, H, 15 B, C). Spinneret morphology (studied in one male and two females) as in most other tetragnathid spiders: ALS with about 30 piriform gland spigots in females and about 20 in males, ordered roughly in four (females) or three (males) arched lines (Figs 14 B, 16 D). PMS with two aciniform gland spigots, between the cylindrical and the minor ampu- tate gland spigots (Fig. 16 E, F). PLS with six aciniform gland spigots ordered in a straight line between the cylindrical spigots and the ‘ araneoid triplet’ (Fig. 16 G). Flagelliform and aggregate gland spigots well developed in females (Fig. 16 G) but reduced in adult males (Fig. 14 C). Flagelliform spigot conical, apically pointed; aggregate spigots with wider bases and wide sockets (Fig. 16 G). Epiandrous fusules placed in a shallow epigastric groove and arranged in three groups separated by low cuticular ridges (Fig. 14 D). Tracheal spiracle placed very close to the spinnerets. Tracheal system consisting of two longer lateral tubes and two shorter medial ones (Fig. 14 F, I). All tracheal tubes confined to abdomen (i. e. do not enter the prosoma). Male pedipalp with very large modified setae on paracymbium (Figs 8 A – C, E, 13 A, B, G). Cymbium carrying cymbial ecto-basal and cymbial ecto-median processes (Figs 8 A, B, E, 13 A, D). A field containing numerous short modified setae (cuspules) arranged in longitudinal lines is placed dorsally over the cymbial ecto-median process, which extends over the cymbium (Figs 8 E, 13 A, C, D, H, I). Tegulum well sclerotized, large and spherical in shape (Figs 8 A – C, 13 B). Conductor and embolus coiling together and arising apically from the centre of the tegulum (Figs 8 A, C, 13 E, F). Conductor well sclerotized, with a robust apical apophysis (Fig. 13 F). Embolus with robust metine embolic apophysis, dorsoapically with numerous short denticles and a distinctively slender apex (Fig. 13 F). Spermatic duct enters the tegulum (towards the fundus) through the embolus base, widening in diameter shortly after (Fig. 8 D). Spermatic duct without switchbacks and one and a half spiral turns before reaching the fundus (Fig. 8 D). Female genitalia entelegyne, with a flat, well chitinized epigynum that has numerous pores dorsally (Figs 8 F – H, 15 D – H). These pores might be related to the secretions that form the epigynal plug observed in some of the specimens (Fig. 10 E). Spermathecae oval with weakly sclerotized walls (Figs 8 G, 15 F, H). Phylogenetics: Pinkfloydia is a member of the Australian – New Zealand tetragnathid lineage Nanometa clade. Natural history: See under P. harveii sp. nov.

Etymology: The species epithet is a patronym after the Australian arachnologist Mark S. Harvey, collector of this and many other new species of arachnids from Western Australia. Diagnosis: As this genus is monotypic the diagnosis of P. harveii coincides with the diagnosis given for the genus (see above under Diagnosis). Description (male holotype): Total body length 2.77. Cephalothorax 1.36 long, 0.93 wide, 1.11 high. Sternum almost as long as wide; 0.67 long, 0.65 wide. Abdomen 1.41 long, 0.90 wide, 0.98 high. Cephalothorax, chelicerae, and sternum brown; dorsally sternum with darker markings laterally. Fovea well marked, with darker coloration. Eyes placed on a conically elevated and slightly projected forward cephalic region; PME on short elevations, much larger than the rest of the eyes (Figs 9 B, 12 A, B, D). Lateral eyes juxtaposed. Distance between AME 1.5 times one AME diameter; between AME and ALE about one AME diameter. Distance between PME almost two PME diameters. Lateral eyes placed close to the PME. Clypeus height 1.85 times one AME diameter. Chelicerae slender, elongated, and cylindrical (Figs 9 B, 12 D), with three anterior and two posterior teeth, and two small denticles between the anterior and posterior margins, adjacent to the fang joint (Fig. 12 I). Cheliceral cuticle rugose (Fig. 12 D). Abdomen oval, longer than wide, with grey-brownish coloration and very few remains of guanine patches. Dorsally with a darker band medially delimited by two clearer dorsolateral bands. Caudal tubercle more darkly pigmented (Fig. 9 A, C). Ventrally abdomen lighter in colour, with few small darker dots medially. Legs yellowish. Femur I 1.78 long; 1.30 times the length of the cephalothorax. Femur I with a conspicuous line of oval markings prolaterally (Fig. 12 E, G) that extend over the tibia. Similar markings also present on femur IV (under the SEM these markings seem to be made of adhered particles). Palp (Figs 8 A – E, 13 A – C, E, 14 A) with a very long tibia, as long as or slightly longer than the cymbium (Fig. 12 A, B). Patella without macrosetae (Fig. 12 A, B, D). Paracymbium large and ventrally displaced with two distinctive black, long, and thick macrosetae (Figs 8 A, C, 13 G, 14 A). Cymbial ecto-basal process very long with pointed tip and strongly chitinized (Figs 8 B, 13 A, D). Cymbial ecto-median process with transparent rim and numerous cuspules dorsally (Figs 8 B, E, 13 D, H, I). Embolus with large metine embolic apophysis, rectangular, with a pointed and folded laminar distal edge (Figs 8 A – C, 13 B, F, 14 A). Conductor with blunt tip narrower than its base (Fig. 13 B, E, F). Epiandrous fusules as in Figure 14 D. Female (paratype, AUSTMUS 93 / 2124): Total body length 4.51. Cephalothorax 1.86 long, 1.16 wide, 1.15 high. Sternum almost as long as wide; 0.77 long, 0.70 wide. Abdomen 2.65 long, 2.15 wide, 1.86 high. Coloration pattern and eyes distribution as in males. Sternum slightly more elongated than in males; 0.77 long, 0.70 wide. Abdomen wider than in males, which gives it more rounded appearance (Fig. 10 A, B, D). Chelicerae shorter and more robust than in male, with smooth cuticle (Figs 10 C, 14 E). Clypeus height 1.40 times one AME diameter. Legs brown-yellowish; femur I 1.83, 0.98 times the length of the cephalothorax. Epigynum well sclerotized, dark brown (Figs 8 F, 10 D, 15 D – E). Epigynal plate flattened, with numerous cuticular pores (Fig. 15 D, E, G). Remains of a ‘ resinous’ secretion forming a genital plug are visible around the edges of the epigynum (Fig. 10 E). Copulatory ducts well chitinized, opening on the ventral side of the epigynum and entering the spermathecae at their base (Figs 8 G, H, 15 F, 16 C). Fertilization ducts membranous, originating very close to the copulatory duct entrance in the spermathecae but much wider than it (Figs 8 G, H, 15 F, H, 16 A). Spermathecae oval, weakly sclerotized, and sack like (Fig. 15 F, H). Variation: Male cephalothorax ranges in length from 1.36 to 1.61 (N = 7). Female cephalothorax length varies from 1.68 – 186 (N = 14). Male total body length ranges from 2.77 to 3.75 (N = 7). Female total body length ranges from 3.54 to 4.51 (N = 14). The male abdominal tubercle varies in height and length, in some specimens being very short, which gives the distal edge of the abdomen a more rounded appearance. Natural history: Very poorly known. Many of the specimens that we studied were collected by pitfall traps. We photographed the webs of four juvenile specimens of P. harveii in the Walpole area (Darling Range). Their horizontal webs were built on the leaf litter in a disturbed area and had a maximum frame width between 52 and 92 mm. These orbs were relatively densely spun, as they had many radii (17 – 28, mean 22, N = 4), lack split radii, and have numerous spiral turns (Fig. 11). The hub is closed and the temporary spiral is removed in the final web (see Fig. 11 D). We observed one of the webs being built at night time.
