Original descriptions

edit

The following are the original descriptions of the genus and type species. I'm placing them here since they are not otherwise available online and extremely difficult to obtain. The text is public domain in both the US and France. Simon, Eugène (1902). "Description d'arachnides nouveaux de la famille des Salticidae (Attidae)". Annales de la Société entomologique de Belgique 46: 406.

Rhetenor (2) diversipes sp. nov. — ♀.

Pedes flavi, femore 1i paris fusco-rufescenti, femore 4i paris nigro, patellis tibiisque cunctis nigro-annulatis et sublineatis, metatarso 1i paris nigro, 2i paris antice nigro-lineato.

Actually, it took about 30 seconds to find at Internet Archive:
le voilà...
Of course, having the correct spelling of the journal name was very helpful, not to mention the fact that Internet Archive's cataloging is usually hideously jumbled- but it unaccountably has the correct spelling in this case.
