03E97817FF981D66FE18FC57FA1EFB73.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Males of the Selenops banksi group can be distinguished from other species by the short embolus beginning around 8 – 9 o’clock, and having an embolic apophysis which is obscured by the embolus in ventral view (Figures 3 (a – h) and 5 (a – f )). Females of the group can be separated from other species by the strongly sclerotised copulatory ducts with several turns, with inconspicuous primary spermathecae, a median lobe or septum, and medially located epigynal pockets (Figure 6 (a – d, f – g )). Both males and females have the sternum longer than wide and the labium truncated with rounded anterior edges (Figure 2 (g, k – l, q )).	en	Crews, Sarah C., Galvis, William, Esposito, Lauren A.

03E97817FF981D70FE42FAD7FAB9FEF7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Selenops banksi can be separated from S. micropalpus and S. ducke by the greenish to green, lichen-like appearance in life and the yellow and white abdomen with a foliate pattern when preserved (Figures 1 (a – d) and 2 (a – i )). S. micropalpus is greyish in life and not lichen-like, and with a darker grey-brown abdomen, rather than yellow and white, when preserved (Figures 1 (f) and 2 (s – u )). S. ducke Corronca, 1996 is mahogany when preserved (Figure 2 (k – p )) (it is unknown what the animal looks like in life). S. banksi has numerous white, flat setae on the legs both dorsally and ventrally (also present in S. curruganja sp. nov.), whereas S. micropalpus only has a few, and they are neither long nor dense (Figures 1 (a – d, f) and 2 (d – e )). While there are differences in the epigynes and endogynes of S. banksi and S micropalpus, we have many female specimens of S. micropalpus and only a single female of S. banksi, making any sort of generalisation difficult as there is some amount of variation apparent in S. micropalpus. The copulatory ducts of S. micropalpus have more turns than those of S. banksi (Figure 6 (a – c )). And in the single female specimen of S. banksi, the lateral lobes are further apart towards the posterior, whereas they are usually very close, nearly touching, in S. micropalpus. S. banksi can be separated from S. curruganja sp. nov. by the epigynal plate, which is longer than wide in S. banksi, and about as long as wide in S. curruganja sp. nov. (Figure 6 (a – b, d )). Males of S. banksi can be differentiated from other males of the group by the palps: In S. banksi, the tip of the palp is densely covered in chemosensory setae, like a brush, and the tip of the cymbium is pointed (Figures 3 (a – d), 4 (a) and 5 (a – c )).

In S. ducke, the chemosensory setae are dense but not brushlike (at least on the single specimen available) (Figures 3 (f – h) and 5 (d )). Males can also be easily and reliably distinguished by the embolic complex, consisting of the embolus and an embolic sclerite. In S. banksi, the oval embolic base is oriented diagonally, whereas it is more vertically oriented in S. micropalpus (Figure 5 (c, f )). Additionally, the embolus of S. micropalpus is wider than that of S. banksi (Figure 5 (c, f )). Finally, the embolus and embolic apophysis originate from the base very near to each other and remain close distally in S. banksi (Figure 5 (a – c )). In S. micropalpus, the embolus and embolic apophysis are separated at the base for most of their length (Figure 5 (f )). In S. ducke, the embolus and embolic process are not separated but connected by a thin, lightly sclerotised area (Figure 5 (d – e )).	en	Crews, Sarah C., Galvis, William, Esposito, Lauren A.

03E97817FF981D70FE42FAD7FAB9FEF7.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, Panama, Peru (Map 1). Life history and habitat preferences. This species has almost always been collected via canopy fogging; however, photographs and a few collections of juveniles indicate that indeed they do venture down the tree trunks and even make their eggsacs there, out in the open, 100 – 180 cm high (Figure 1 (a )). As in many other selenopids, the female guards the eggsac, but rather than a smooth, white eggsac, the eggsac of S. banksi has dark flecks that look like crosshatching (Figure 1 (a), inset). Only a single female has been collected, and this was from canopy fogging, but the species does not seem uncommon given the amount of observations made. This phenomenon of being common, yet poorly represented in collections, is typical for the family. The species tends to be found on mossy trees or trees with lichen, and the animal very much resembles lichen in both the colouration and the setal covering that provides texture. They are one of a few known green spiders, and one of the only green selenopids. Given the extent of the distribution, their ability to glide (Yanoviak et al. 2015), and the fact that all collections are from canopy fogs, it is possible that they disperse via the canopy; thus, forests that remain intact would be most conducive to this lifestyle, and a lack of connectivity due to forest fragmentation would have conservation implications.	en	Crews, Sarah C., Galvis, William, Esposito, Lauren A.

03E97817FF981D70FE42FAD7FAB9FEF7.taxon	description	Variation. S. banksi, male, N = 10; Size: 6.6 – 8.0; S. micropalpus, female, N = 19, 6.6 – 13.5; S. micropalpus, male, N = 7; 6.5 – 10.5. The dRTA is the only variable part of the male palp based on the specimens of S. banksi available to us. The specimens from Ecuador are similar to one another, with the dRTA slightly longer and more curved ventrally than in specimens from other localities, although there is also variation among the individuals collected in Ecuador (Figure 4 (a – o )). The dRTA of the holotype appears to differ from ex- S. kikay syn. nov. in being longer and appearing more ridged than toothed; however, we were unable to control for the position of the palp during the imaging of S. kikay syn. nov. (Figure 4 (a – o )). The dRTA of the Guyana specimen differs from the holotype by being shorter and curving less (Figure 4 (e, g, o )). In the specimen from Peru, the dRTA is not as long as in the holotype and is only slightly curved (Figure 4 (e – f, n )). Notes. We assign this female to S. banksi because it was collected with several males of the species. S. lavillai Corronca, 1996 is superficially similar to S. banksi, and the female is also undescribed. This species is lichen-like, yellow and white with a foliate pattern when preserved, and found in the canopy and on tree trunks, collected from canopy fogs simultaneously with S. banksi; however, the male genitalia are very different from those of the banksi group. Additionally, we have specimens of the female of S. lavillai that were collected with the male of that species which will be described in a subsequent publication. Corronca (1996) described S. kikay syn. nov. based on a male and female from Itabuna, Bahía, Brazil. Although S. banksi and S. micropalpus were already described at the time (Muma 1953), their similarity to S. kikay syn. nov. went unmentioned. The holotype of the male of S. kikay syn. nov. was examined via digital image; the female paratype could not be located. Both were indicated to be in MNRJ; however, the majority of specimens from that institution were unfortunately lost in a fire (Kury et al. 2018). Corronca (1996) differentiates the male of S. kikay syn. nov. from others by having ‘ grooves in the retrolateral tibial apophysis and a large keel ending in three teeth, and by a spatulate prolateral tibial apophysis with rounded lateral projection. ’ S. banksi has a spatulate prolateral keel, as do other species of selenopids, including S. micropalpus (Figures 3 (a, e), 4 (h – k) and 5 (f )). Additionally, after examination of multiple males of S. banksi, some specimens have a toothed dRTA and some do not, and some of these teeth are more pronounced in some specimens (3 a, c – d, 4 a – o). For the diagnosis of the female of S. kikay, syn. nov., Corronca (1996) provided no characters exclusive to this species. The holotype of S. kikay syn. nov. was purportedly collected in Itabuna, Brazil; however, there was no other information regarding collector, year, etc. (Figure 2 (w )). Given the distance from any other collection of S. banksi group species, it is possible that this is an erroneous locality, but the rarity of collections of these spiders also hints to its validity. Additionally, there is a hypothesised corridor between the Mata Atlântica and the Amazon that has existed since the uplift of the Andes (Ledo and Colli 2017). According to molecular clock data (Crews and Esposito 2020), the banksi group has been around for at least 20 my, or around the time of the beginning of the uplift of the Andes, and the group members appear to have no trouble dispersing. Thus, they have had ample time and have ample means to disperse throughout the rainforests of Central America, the Amazon, and Mata Atlântica. It is possible the Itabuna locality is on the edge of the group’s range in the Mata Atlântica. Additional efforts should be made to confirm the presence of species there. In general, S. banksi is smaller than S. micropalpus and S. curruganja sp. nov.; this mostly applies to males of S. banksi and S. micropalpus, because males of S. curruganja sp. nov. are unknown, and there is only a single female specimen of S. banksi. Males of S. banksi range from 6.6 to 8.0, with the holotype at 7.55, the holotype of S. kikay syn. nov. at 7.2 (N = 11), and S. ducke at 6.5 (Corronca 1996). S. micropalpus females range from 6.9 to approximately 13.45 (the specimen is damaged) (N = 18). The holotype and the second-largest female are both from Dominica. Females from St. Lucia, Martinique, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines tend to be smaller. The males of S. micropalpus are more similar in size to males of S. banksi, ranging from 6.65 to 10.61 (N = 7). The female of S. curruganja sp. nov. is large (12.2) compared to the single female specimens of S. banksi, S. ducke (9.0), and ex- S. kikay syn. nov. (7.55 – (Corronca 1996 )), and many of the S. micropalpus females.	en	Crews, Sarah C., Galvis, William, Esposito, Lauren A.

03E97817FF8E1D70FE1FFE54FF65FB5F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Females of S. micropalpus differ from females of S. ducke and S. curruganja sp. nov. by the epigynal plate being longer than wide (Figure 6 (c – d, f – g )). Females of this species differ from females of S. banksi by being grey in life and brown when preserved, whereas S. banksi is green in life and yellow-orange when preserved (Figures 1 (a – d, f) and 2 (a – i, s – v )). Additionally, the copulatory ducts of S. micropalpus turn multiple times, in contrast to the copulatory ducts of S. banksi (Figure 6 (a – c )). Males of S. micropalpus can be separated from males of S. ducke by the palpal tibia being longer than the cymbium, and the embolus and embolic process are completely separate, whereas in S. ducke, the palpal tibia is of similar size to the cymbium, and the embolus and embolic process are connected by a weakly sclerotised area (Figures 3 (e – h) and 5 (d – f )). S. micropalpus can be separated from males of S. banksi by having fewer, more dispersed chemosensory setae on the tip of the cymbium and by the embolar process and embolus originating from the sides of the embolar base, gradually nearing one another distally (Figures 3 (a – d, e) and 5 (a – c, f )).

03E97817FF8E1D74FECFFAFCFACEFF68.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Pacific region of Colombia in the Depts. of Nariño and Chocó (Map 1). Life history and habitat preferences. This species has been collected on trees at both a disturbed and less disturbed area. In Lloró, around where the immature specimen was collected, 5 days and 3 people collecting turned up only this one specimen. The animal is Map 1. Map encompassing range of S. banksi group in Central and South America. Yellow = S. banksi, Green = members of S. banksi group, probably banksi, but unclear as data were taken from published records lacking vouchers and inaturalist observations, Orange = S. banksi, ex- S. kikay syn. nov., holotype (Itabuna) and identified as (Manaus), Blue = S. ducke, Red = S. curruganja sp. nov. very lichen-like as is its relative S. banksi, and it is possible that it has a similar lifestyle in treetops and canopies.	en	Crews, Sarah C., Galvis, William, Esposito, Lauren A.

03E97817FF8A1D74FE76FEC1F842FB79.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males of S. ducke can be separated from other members of the S. banksi group by having the embolar process and embolus connected by a thin, weakly sclerotised area throughout their length. Females of S. ducke can be separated from S. micropalpus and S. banksi by having the epigynal plate of similar length and width, and from S. curruganja sp. nov. by lacking an arc-shaped median lobe of the epigyne.	en	Crews, Sarah C., Galvis, William, Esposito, Lauren A.

03E97817FF8A1D74FE76FEC1F842FB79.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In Corronca (1996), the male holotype and female paratype are indicated to have been collected at the same time (17 – 24. VIII. 1991) by A. Brescovit. However, the data provided by the MCN indicate that the female paratype was collected by the aforementioned during the dates given, and the male holotype was collected 4. I. 1993 at Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke by H. Höfer and T. Gasnier. In Corronca (1998), there is no mention of a collector, but the 1991 collection of only the paratype has been confirmed by the collector; thus, the holotype was collected in 1993.	en	Crews, Sarah C., Galvis, William, Esposito, Lauren A.
