Micropholcus fauroti (Simon, 1887) Figs 16, 17, 18 Notes. For synonymy, type information, and redescription, see Huber (2011). Numerous further records and an updated distribution map were published in Huber et al. (2017). Since then, new records have been published for Egypt (Ahmad and Abou-Setta 2017), Sri Lanka (Huber 2019), Venezuela (Huber and Villarreal 2020) and India (Vishnudas and Sudhikumar (2021). The map in Fig. 13 A summarises all the previous records plus the new records below. New records.

Males are easily distinguished from known congeners by long and slender dorsal hinged process on procursus (Fig. 17 C; similar but relatively shorter in some Saudi Arabian species, cf. Figs 24 C, 40 C, etc.); also by unique prolateral process on procursus (arrowed in Fig. 17 A) and by unique shapes of processes of genital bulb (Fig. 17 D, E). Females are distinguished by distinct U-shaped internal structure visible through epigynal plate in uncleared specimens (Fig. 18 A); similar dark internal structures occur in some Saudi Arabian species (e. g., Figs 26 A, 30 A); also by very large pore plates and large anterior membranous element of internal genitalia (Fig. 18 D).
