Irura Peckham & Peckham 1901

GenusIruraPeckham & Peckham, 1901 Type species. Irura pulchra Peckham & Peckham, 1901; type locality Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. Comments. This genus is assigned to the subtribe Simaethina Simon, 1903, within the Viciriini Simon, 1901 (Maddison 2015), and contains 21 species known from east, south, and southeast Asia (WSC 2024). The genus is rather poorly studied, as the generotype is lacking diagnostic drawings, and nearly 30 % of its species are known only from a single sex (WSC 2024). Moreover, based on our recent study, several Chinese species are mismatched (female and male belong to different species) and need further revision. The following two species are placed in the genus due to similar habitus and copulatory organs to most Irura species.
