260987AC5D295E546EC166EEFD73F81E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The carriage of the egg sac in the female’s chelicerae and the subsequent construction of a nursery web to protect the egg sac are two characters that distinguish Pisauridae from both Trechaleidae and Lycosidae (Carico, 1993: 228). Pisauridae also differ from Trechaleidae as the median apophysis of the male palpus is neither large nor distally situated and lacks a dorsal embolic groove that extends distally into an apical groove. Unlike Trechaleidae, pisaurid eggsacs do not have a ‘‘ skirt’ ’ on the seam of the discoid egg sac (Carico 1993: fig. 6). Pisauridae can also be distinguished from Lycosidae by the lesser degree of recurvature in the posterior eye row and the male palp usually bears a tibial apophysis. The presence of the distal tegular projection (DTP) and the presence of pseudosegmented tarsi could represent possible synapomorphies of Pisauridae (Santos 2007), although this latter character can also be found in Trechaleidae.	en	Cruz, Estevam L., Silva, Da (2012): On the nursery-web spider genus Hypsithylla Simon, 1903 (Araneae: Pisauridae) and its synonymy with Hygropoda Thorell, 1894.

260987AC5D2B5E576EC162EAFC51F9A7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The female of Hygropoda celebesiana comb. nov. resembles that of H. higenaga (Kishida, 1936) (Zhang et al., 2004: 382, figs 80, 81) because they both have long, flexible tarsi and short head of the spermathecae (HS), but can be distinguished by the two deep median excavations on the middle field of epigynum (MF) (Fig. 8) and by the larger head of the spermatheca (HS) (Fig. 9) in H. celebesiana.	en	Cruz, Estevam L., Silva, Da (2012): On the nursery-web spider genus Hypsithylla Simon, 1903 (Araneae: Pisauridae) and its synonymy with Hygropoda Thorell, 1894.
