Epigyne very simple, weekly sclerotized. Vulva with longer sperm ducts than those of Athamas. Dimensions - (Holotype was measured) Total length 4.1. Carapace 2.45 long, 1.1 wide at PLE, 0.96 high at PLE. AEW 0.80, PEW 0.88, eye field 0.95 long. Abdomen 1.5 long, 1.05 wide. Natural history/Habitat - The specimens were collected in primary forest. Distribution - Papua New Guinea. Material examined - Type material: Holotype female from PAPUA NEW GUINEA, Kiunga NGK-U3, (Hung. Soil Exp. 1969), beaten in virgin forest. 28-30.XI.1969, leg. J. Balogh, det. P. Balogh (HNHM SALT41 1). Typed label: "Leptathamas paradoxus nov. gen. nov. spec. P. Balogh holotype!" Other material - PAPUA NEW GUINEA: 1 female, 1 juvenile from Lac NGL-C15, (Hung. Soil Exp. 1968), above Bubie, beaten from bushes by a mountain stream, 5. VIII. 1968, leg. J. Balogh, det. P. Balogh (HNHM SALT412). Typed label: "Fissident n. gen.'.'?"; 2 females Lac NGL-C16, (Hung. Soil Exp. 1968), above Bubie, beaten from bushes by a mountain stream, 5.VIII.1968, leg. J. Balogh, det. P. Balogh (HNHM SALT413). Typed label: "fissidentati nov. gen. Athamas-szemcsoport, hosszú szemnégyszög!!"; 2 males from Angoram NGA-U11, (Hung. Soil Exp. 1968), beaten in forest near sunny paths, 13.VIII.1968, leg. J. Balogh, det. P. Balogh (HNHM SALT414). Relationships - Judging from the eye arrangement this genus might be a close relative of Athamas O. P. - Cambridge, 1877 and Bulolia Zabka, 1996 as all have four eye rows and because of the similarities of the copulatory organs. From the Philippines, Gambaquezonia Barrion etLitsinger, 1995 is a monotypic genus, that seems to be very similar, judging from the drawings of the only known female (Barrion & Litsinger 1995: fig. 49). Athamas debakkeri sp. n. (Figs 16-19, 26, 27, 30, 33, 36) Diagnosis - Carapace typical Athamas-Wke (Figs 17, 27, 30, 33, 36): squat, very high, almost as wide as long, ocular area short. Male palps are recognisable by the long and thin embolus (longest within the genus) and by the two tibial apophyses (Figs 16, 17, 26). Etymology - This species is dedicated to Domir DeBakker, a Belgian arachnologist and my friend. Description - Holotype male: Carapace brown, eye field black, with white spots (comprised by white scales). Eye field with three median, thoracic region with 2-2 lateral white spots (Figs 16-17, 27, 30, 33, 36). Thoracic slope sheer.
