Ultraconserved element data for phylogenomic analysis and four-gene Sanger dataset for phylogenetic analysis of Tenkana, a new genus of plexippine jumping spider (Salticidae, Plexippini, Plexippina)

We describe a new plexippine genus, Tenkana supported by phylogenomic data from ultraconserved elements (UCE), four-gene Sanger sequences, and morphological evidence. We transfer two species currently placed within Colopsus Simon, 1902, to Tenkana. The phylogenomic data places Tenkana among the plexippines near Hyllus C. L Koch, 1846 and Telamonia Thorell, 1887, while the constrained four-gene phylogeny indicates that Tenkana is distinct from Colopsus. Additionally, we describe a new species, Tenkana jayamangali.
