A new Gongylidioides Oi, 1960 from Taiwan (Aranei: Linyphiidae)

A new species, Gongylidioides protegulus sp.n., is described from Chiayi and Pingtung counties of Taiwan. The new species differs from the known congeners by the structure of the copulatory organs, mainly by the long, thin, looped embolus and conically protruded, membraneous protegulum, as well as by the shape of the epigynal ventral plate

New data on the spider fauna of Iran (Arachnida: Aranei), Part VI

A family (Zoropsidae), five genera (Archaeodictyna Caporiacco, 1928, Microneta Menge, 1869, Sintula Simon, 1884, Zilla C.L. Koch, 1836, Zoropsis Simon, 1878), and 26 spider species are recorded in Iran for the first time. New provincial records for 61 species are presented. Considering the new results, 746 spider species are known from Iran.</p

Tchatkalophantes huangyuanensis Zhu & Li 1983, comb. n.

Tchatkalophantes huangyuanensis (Zhu & Li 1983) comb. n. Lepthyphantes huangyuanensis Zhu & Li 1983: 144.

According to its genitalic structure, this species certainly belongs to the genus Tchatkalophantes Tanasevitch 2001, being clearly defined by the shape of the epigynal pseudoscape: it is widened at the base and narrowed distad, vice versa in other congeners (see Tanasevitch 2001).Published as part of Tanasevitch, Andrei V., 2006, On some Linyphiidae of China, mainly from Taibai Shan, Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi Province (Arachnida: Araneae), pp. 277-311 in Zootaxa 1325 on page 308, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27356

Indophantes ramosus Tanasevitch, 2006, sp. n.

Indophantes ramosus sp. n. Figs 19–22 Material. Holotype &male; (SMF), China, Quinghai Prov., Bei Shan National Park, 120 km NE Xining, 2300–2700 m, 23.V.– 8.VI. 1996, leg. J. Martens. Diagnosis. The palp structure of I. ramosus sp. n. resembles that of the Himalayan I. digitulus (Thaler 1987). The new species is easily distinguishable from it by the bifid cymbial posterodorsal outgrowth, the absence of a tooth­like extension on the posterior part of the paracymbium, as well as by the more deeply divided branches of the lamella characteristica. Etymology. The specific name is a Latin adjective meaning branching, referring to the shape of the cymbial posterodorsal outgrowth. Description. Male. Total length–– 1.95. Carapace 0.90 long, 0.80 wide, brown. Chelicerae 0.40 long. Legs yellow without median bands. Leg I, 4.21 long (1.13 + 0.25 +1.00+ 1.03 + 0.80), IV–– 3.80 long (1.03 + 0.23 + 0.93 + 0.98 + 0.63). Chaetotaxy. Ti I: 2 ­ 1 ­0­0, II: 2 ­ 0­1 ­0, III–IV: 2 ­0­0­0; Mt I–IV: 1 ­0­0­0. TmI–– 0.24. Palp (Figs 19–22): Cymbium with a pronounced, posterodorsal, bifid outgrowth. Paracymbium with a dentiform extension in posterior part. Lamella characteristica long, with two pointed branches. Terminal apophysis large, well­sclerotised, consisting of two flat lobes. Opisthosoma 1.00 long, 0.88 wide, dorsally pale with a wide grey median stripe in anterior part and several transverse grey stripes posteriorly. Female.
