Sanger sequences of marpissoid salticids for Kelawakaju placement

<b>Abstract</b><br/><p><span lang="EN-US">The genus <em>Kelawakaju</em> Maddison & Ruiz, gen. nov., is described for a lineage of bark-dwelling Asian marpissine jumping spiders that represent a dispersal to Eurasia separate from that of the <em>Marpissa</em>-<em>Mendoza</em> lineage, according to the phylogeny recovered from analysis of four gene regions. All of the species of Kelawakaju are new except <em>K</em>. <em>frenata </em>(Simon, 1901), comb. nov., which is here transferred from <em>Ocrisiona</em> Simon, 1901. <em>K</em>. <em>frenata</em> is known from Hong Kong, Guangdong, Guangxi, and likely Taiwan. The five new species are <em>Kelawakaju</em> <em>mulu</em> Maddison & Ruiz (type species of Kelawakaju, from Sarawak, Malaysia, ♂♀), <em>K</em>. <em>intexta</em> Maddison & Ruiz (from Sarawak, ♂), <em>K</em>. <em>leucomelas</em> Maddison & Ng (Singapore and Johor Bahru, ♂♀), <em>K</em>. <em>sahyadri</em> Vishnudas, Maddison, & Sudhikumar (India, ♂♀), and <em>K</em>. <em>singapura</em> Maddison & Ng (Singapore, ♂♀), all sp. nov.</span></p>
