Data from: Papuaneon, a new genus of jumping spiders from Papua New Guinea (Araneae: Salticidae: Neonini)

The genus Neon Simon stands alone as a phylogenetically isolated astioid jumping spider, the only member of the Neonini. The new genus Papuaneon is established for the jumping spider Papuaneon tualapa sp. nov. from Papua New Guinea. Resembling a large, hirsute Neon, it is here shown to be the sister group to Neon, based on data from the nuclear 28S and Actin 5C, and the mitochondrial 16SND1 region. Photographs of living specimens are provided.Neon Simon属（Neon Simon）为系统发育上独立的星跳蛛类（astioid）跳蛛，是Neonini族（Neonini）的唯一成员。本研究建立新属Papuaneon属（Papuaneon），以产自巴布亚新几内亚的跳蛛新种Papuaneon tualapa sp. nov.为模式物种。该新属外形酷似体型较大、被毛浓密的Neon属物种，基于核基因28S（nuclear 28S）、肌动蛋白5C（Actin 5C）以及线粒体16SND1区域（mitochondrial 16SND1 region）的分子数据，本研究证实其与Neon属互为姊妹群。文中附有成体活体标本的照片。
