Discovery of a new Tomocyrba (Araneae, Salticidae, Hisponinae) and rediscovery of the type species from rainforests in northern Madagascar

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Pett, Brogan L., Murray, Katie I. (2026): Discovery of a new Tomocyrba (Araneae, Salticidae, Hisponinae) and rediscovery of the type species from rainforests in northern Madagascar. African Invertebrates 67 (1): 37-46, DOI: 10.3897/AfrInvertebr.67.183477AbstractThe Malagasy endemic salticid genus Tomocyrba Simon, 1900 has had only a single contribution to its taxonomy in the last 120 years. Here, we report on a small collection of Tomocyrba from rainforests in the north- east of Madagascar. We describe one new species from Mahimborondro, Tomocyrba ankihiberta sp. nov. (♂ ♀) and provide a supplementary redescription of the type species Tomocyrba decollata Simon, 1901 based on the first fresh specimens collected in over 120 years.
