Reuniting males and females: redescriptions of Nuisiana arboris (Marples 1959) and Cambridgea reinga Forster & Wilton 1973 (Araneae: Desidae, Stiphidiidae)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Vink, Cor J., Fitzgerald, Brian M., Sirvid, Phil J., Dupérré, Nadine (2011): Reuniting males and females: redescriptions of Nuisiana arboris (Marples 1959) and Cambridgea reinga Forster & Wilton 1973 (Araneae: Desidae, Stiphidiidae). Zootaxa 2739: 41-50, URL: http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2011/f/zt02739p050.pdfAbstractTwo New Zealand endemic spider species, Nuisiana arboris (Marples 1959) (Desidae) and Cambridgea reinga Forster & Wilton 1973 (Stiphidiidae), are redescribed, including notes on their distribution and DNA sequences from the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1. Based on morphological evidence and mitochondrial DNA sequences, Matachia magna Forster 1970 is a junior synonym of Nuisiana arboris, and Nanocambridgea grandis Blest & Vink 2000 is a junior synonym of Cambridgea reinga. Two forms of male morph in C. reinga are recorded.Key words: cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI), DNA, Matachia, new synonymy, New Zealand, Nanocambridgea
