Tomocyrba is a genus of jumping spiders that belongs to the subfamily Hisponinae. The genus is endemic to the island of Madagascar.[1][2]
Taxonomy
[edit]It was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1900 with two species from Antongil Bay near Maroantsetra.[2] The genus was then revised on 2009 by Szűts & Scharff and expanded the list of species to six.[3] In 2026, that list expanded to seven with the description of Tomocyrba ankihiberta by Pett & Murray.[4]
Species
[edit]As of August 2019[update] it contains seven described species. They are listed below:[1][3]
- Tomocyrba ankihiberta Pett BL & Murray KI, 2026[4]
- Tomocyrba barbata Simon, 1900
- Tomocyrba berniae Szüts & Scharff, 2009
- Tomocyrba decollata Simon, 1900 (type species)
- Tomocyrba griswoldi Szüts & Scharff, 2009
- Tomocyrba thaleri Szüts & Scharff, 2009
- Tomocyrba ubicki Szüts & Scharff, 2009
