sum. Legs dark yellow, without black markings. Leg I dark brown, femur with many dorsal spines. Pedipalp simple, more similar to Leptathamas than to Athamas. Tibia with a single apophysis (Fig. 24). Bulbus elongate, sperm duct clearly visible, embolus twisted. Dimensions - Male: Total length 4.7. Carapace 1.7 long, 1.28 wide at PLE, 0.9 high at PLE. AEW 0.84, PEW 0.88, eye field 1.1 long. Abdomen 2.2 long, 0.8 wide. Female - Unknown. Natural history/Habitat - unknown. Distribution - Papua New Guinea, Wau Island. Material examined - NEW GUINEA: Bulolia ocellata Zabka, 1996, 1 male from Wau Island (Hung. Soil Exp. 1965), McArthur Park, 18-21 .IV. 1965, leg. J. Balogh & J. Szent-Ivány, det. T. Szuts; 1 male from Wau Island, NG-WU33, (Hung. Soil Exp. 1969), beaten from trees, leg. J. Balogh, det. T. Szűts; Bulolia excentrica Zabka, 1996, 2 males from Lae, NG-LC16, (Hung. Soil Exp. 1965), beaten from bushes, leg. J. Balogh & J. Szent-Ivány, det. T. Szűts. Relationships - Judging from the male palp, the species seems to be a relative of Leptathamas paradoxus Balogh, 1980. DISCUSSION A unique feature of all these genera is that they have four eye rows. This is not common within the family Salticidae. However, it is known for various unrelated taxa (e.g. Lyssomaninae, Viciria Thorell, 1877, etc.) and does not seem to be a character that is sufficient for delimiting a natural group. The genus Furculattus appears to be related to other genera with long trochanter. Therefore despite having four eye rows, it is unlikely to be close to the other three genera. Simon's group Athameae was comprised by only one genus Athamas. Athamas together with the genera Bulolia and Leptathamas, might be closer to each other than previously appreciated, as all have a remarkable hump on the thoracic slope of carapace (the genus Gambaquezonia Barrion et Litsinger, 1995, which is known by a single female, seems to have also a similar hump, but I have not been able to study any specimens of the genus). As females are unknown from Bulolia, I had focused only on males. I compared both somatic- and copulatory characters, to illustrate the differences among taxa. For comparison of the genera, the characters used are listed in Table 1.
