debakkeri sp. n. was found from New Ireland. Possible phylogenetic relationships and other details about the poorly known genus Leptathamas will be discussed in detail. An exhaustive characterisation of the other genera is already present in the literature (Wanless & Lubin 1986, Jendrzejewska 1995, Zabka 1996). MATERIALS AND METHODS Methods used were as described by Wanless (1978). The drawings were made with camera lucida. All the measurements are given in millimetres. A Nikon CoolPix900 digital camera, attached to the stereomicroseope, was used for photographing specimens. All specimens are deposited in the Arachnoidea Collection in the Pedozoological Collections of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (curator Dr Sándor Mahunka), except the holotype of Athamas debakkeri sp. n., which is deposited in Zoological Museum and University of Copenhagen (curator Dr Nikolaj Scharff). Abbreviations: AEW = anterior eye width; AME = anterior median eye; HNHM = Hungarian Natural History Museum, Department of Zoology, Pedozoological Collections, Arachnoidea Collec­tion; PEW = posterior eye with; PLE = posterior lateral eye; SALT = Salticidae collection of HNHM; ZMUC = Zoological Museum and University of Copenhagen. TAXONOMICAL SURVEY Note: Furculattus maxillosus, Leptathamas paradoxus and Bulolia ocellata are the type species of the genera to which they belong. Therefore the species de­scription also can be used for characterisation of the genera. Furculattus and Leptathamas are monotypic. Furculattus maxillosus Balogh, 1980 (Figs 1-8) Furculattus maxillosus Balogh, 1980: 25-27; Prószynski 1990: 116 (syn. with D. minotaurus Wanless et Lubin, 1986), 141. Diolenius minotaurus Wanless et Lubin, 1986: 1211-1220. Diagnosis - Carapace with unique shape (Figs 1, 4, 7-8). Thoracic slope with 2 huge "horns", present on both sexes. Male palp (Figs 2-3) simple, embolus thin, straight. Epigyne (Fig. 5) with a small plate, sperm ducts thick, slightly coiled. Vulva (Fig. 6) with a small accessory gland. Description - Male holotype (Figs 1-3,7): Specimen in poor condition, 2 legs present and abdomen missing. Carapace tegument covered with chitinized out-
