- Abstract
We propose a new genus of plexippine jumping spiders from the Western Ghats of India based on the new species Ghatippus paschima gen. et sp. nov. While it bears a superfi- cial resemblance to Pancorius in body form and Hyllus in membrane-bearing embolus, our UCE phylogenomic data--the first to resolve broad relationships within the Plexippina--as well as morphological features justify its status as a new genus. In addition to the molecular data and morphological descriptions, we provide photographs of living specimens of Ghatippus paschima gen. et sp. nov. and information on their natural history.
