Sinopsis :

Crab spiders (Araneae, Thomisidae) are distributed worldwide but the highest diversity is found in tropical regions (WSC 2019). The group has been studied in many recent phylogenetic works, but its relationships are still being discussed (Benjamin et al. 2008; Benjamin 2011; Ramirez 2014; Wheeler et al. 2017) and broader rela¬ tionships among basal thomisids such as the subfamily Stephanopinae remain weakly supported and unstable (Ramirez 2014). The presence of cheliceral teeth, which was previously considered as a synapomorphy for this group (Ono 1988), was recovered as a plesiomorphy by Benjamin (2011), and this subfamily remains as the most controversial and the least studied group in Thomisidae; it has many genera in need of revision and a considerable number of species yet to be described (Benjamin 2011). Based on the work of Mello-Leitao (1929), subsequent efforts were made to update the taxonomy of some Neo¬ tropical stephanopines (Lise 1973, 1981; Bonaldo and
