Ultraconserved element data for phylogenomic analysis of Ghatippus paschima jumping spider (Salticidae, Plexippini, Plexippina)

Based on UCE phylogenomic data, we propose a new genus and species of plexippine jumping spider, Ghatippus paschima, discovered in the Western Ghats of India. This study, which includes 18 taxa (15 ingroup taxa and 3 outgroup taxa), is also the first to resolve the broader relationships within Plexippina using UCE data., , , # Ultraconserved element data for phylogenomic analysis of Ghatippus paschima jumping spider (Salticidae, Plexippini, Plexippina)

The dataset includes (1) ultraconserved element (UCE) matrices and (2) concatenated matrices used in the phylogenomic analysis of a new plexippine jumping spider genus and species, Ghatippus paschima. The dataset (2) also comprises 10 maximum-likelihood trees and 1000 bootstrap trees generated using IQ-TREE.

## Methods

We used target enrichment UCE sequencing, dual-indexed TruSeq-style libraries were prepared following methods used previously (e.g. Maddison et al. 2020b). Targeted enrichment using the RTA_v2 probeset (Zhang et al. 2023) was performed using the myBaits v. 4.01 protocol (Arbor Biosciences, ). Libraries were sequenced on partial lanes of illumina NovaSeq 6000 S4 runs with 150-bp paired end reads.

Raw demultiplexed reads were processed with PHYLUCE v. 1.6 (Faircloth 2016), quality control and adapter removal were performed with Illumiproces...
