TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the origin of the gumfoot web was a stepping stone that facilitated the capture of ants and resulted in specialized myrmecophagy in a number of 'basal' theridiids, and among orbiculariae, lineages that specialize on ant prey are non-randomly clustered within Theridiidae.

TL;DR: Eight species of the family Theridiidae are reported from Brunei Darussalam and a new genus, Brunepisinus, is erected based on a new species, B. selirong.
Abstract: Eight species of the family Theridiidae are reported from Brunei Darussalam. Phoroncidia lygeana (Walckenaer, 1842) is recorded for the first time and redescribed. Janula Strand, 1932 is revived from the synonymy of Episinus Latreille, 1809. Six new species of Janula, J. bruneiensis, J. bizona, J. bubalis, J. triangularis, J. batman and J. triocellata, are described. Monetoculus Wunderlich, 2008 is newly synonymised with Janula. A new genus, Brunepisinus, is erected based on a new species, B. selirong.
