New species of Habronattus and Pellenes jumping spiders (Araneae, Salticidae, Harmochirina)

Abstract. The harmochirine jumping spiders include the New World Habronattus, notable for their complex courtship displays, and Pellenes, found throughout the Old World and North America. Five new species of Habronattus and one new species of Pellenes are here described from North America: Habronattus aestus, sp. n., Habronattus chamela sp. n., Habronattus empyrus sp. n., Habronattus luminosus sp. n., Habronattus roberti sp. n., and Pellenes canadensis sp. n. For each of the new species, photographs of living specimens are given, as well as notes on habitat. The new subgenus Pellenattus is described for the subgroup of Pellenes restricted to North America, with type species Pellenes peninsularis Emerton, 1925. Species placed in Pellenes (Pellenattus) are Pellenes apacheus Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955, Pellenes canadensis sp. n., Pellenes crandalli Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955, Pellenes dorsalis (Banks, 1898b), Pellenes grammaticus Chamberlin 1925, Pellenes levii Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955, Pellenes limatus Peckham & Peckham, 1901, Pellenes longimanus Emerton, 1913, Pellenes peninsularis Emerton, 1925, Pellenes shoshonensis Gertsch, 1934, and Pellenes washonus Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955. Pellenes wrighti Lowrie & Gertsch, 1955 is synonymized with Pellenes peninsularis. Attention is drawn to an undescribed species of Habronattus from Canada whose only known specimen is apparently lost.
