Description

The genus Kelawakaju Maddison Ruiz, gen. nov., is described for a lineage of bark-dwelling Asian marpissine jumping spiders that represent a dispersal to Eurasia separate from that of the Marpissa-Mendoza lineage, according to the phylogeny recovered from analysis of four gene regions. All of the species of Kelawakaju are new except K. frenata (Simon, 1901), comb. nov., which is here transferred from Ocrisiona Simon, 1901. K. frenata is known from Hong Kong, Guangdong, Guangxi, and likely Taiwan. The five new species are Kelawakaju mulu Maddison Ruiz (type species of Kelawakaju, from Sarawak, Malaysia, ♂♀), K. intexta Maddison Ruiz (from Sarawak, ♂), K. leucomelas Maddison Ng (Singapore and Johor Bahru, ♂♀), K. sahyadri Vishnudas, Maddison, Sudhikumar (India, ♂♀), and K. singapura Maddison Ng (Singapore, ♂♀), all sp. nov.
