On the genus Pseudofluda (Araneae, Salticidae): two new species including the first description of a female and distribution data

Abstract

Recently the first records of the genus Pseudofluda Mello-Leitão, 1928 were reported in Argentina; represented by a single species, P. pulcherrima, known only by the male. Two new species of this salticid genus are described from Argentina: P. capandegui sp. nov. and P. pergeri sp. nov., and the females of P. pulcherrima (first description of female) are here described. Drawings and full color photographs are provided. Several new geographic records of Pseudofluda are also given.
