Araneae Pisauridae

Abstract

The spider genus Hypsithylla was proposed by Simon (1903) and comprises only two species (Platnick, 2012). The type-species, Hypsithylla linearis Simon, 1903, is based on an immature female and Hypsithylla celebesiana Strand, 1913, is known from a single female from Sulawesi.
