Abstract Background The spider Trichonephila antipodiana (Araneidae), commonly known as the batik golden web spider, preys on arthropods with body sizes ranging from ∼2 mm in length to insects larger than itself (>20‒50 mm), indicating its polyphagy and strong dietary detoxification abilities. Although it has been reported that an ancient whole-genome duplication event occurred spiders, lack of a high-quality genome limited characterization this event. Results We present...
Two new species of Amaurobius from China, A. songi sp. nov. and spinatus are described on morphological characters males females. They generally very similar to all known India, Europe North America but differ in some details the copulatory organs. The two represent first record China.
A new species of wolf spiders, Ovia macritchie sp. nov., is discovered in Singapore. It closely related to O. procurva (Yu & Song, 1988), hitherto the only Sankaran, Malamel Sebastian, 2017. also resembles Pardosa alboannulata Yin et al., 1997 from China, which herein transferred Ovia. All them share a uniquely hooked terminal apophysis on male pedipalp. Colour photos, line drawings, SEM photos and detailed descriptions are provided for both newly combined alboannulata.
Gaoligong Mountains in Yunnan, China are famous for the biodiversity and part of Indo-Burmese hotspot. We present a review on comb-tailed spider genus Hahnia C.L. Koch 1841 based newly collected specimens. Four new species described: H. biapophysis sp. nov. (male), dongi subsaccata (male, female) wangi female). Two additional known redescribed: himalayaensis Hu & Zhang, 1990 musica Brignoli, 1978. previously from Bhutan is recorded first time. Photos habitus genitalia all additionally...
Draconarius Ovtchinnikov, 1999 in the subfamily Coelotinae is largest genus of spider family Agelenidae and comprises 246 described species, mainly from East Southeast Asia (World Spider Catalog 2018). The recently published volume on Chinese spiders Fauna Sinica series recorded a total 174 species China, including 27 new (Zhu, Wang & Zhang 2017).
Three trapdoor spiders of the genus Cyclocosmia are photographed, illustrated and described in this paper, including two new species, C. subricketti sp. nov. (male female) sublatusicosta only) from China. The male latusicosta Zhu, Zhang Zhang, 2006 is for first time.
This paper concerns four species of the spider genus Uroctea Dufour, 1820 (Oecobiidae) from China. Two species, U. compactilis L. Koch, 1878 and lesserti Schenkel, 1936 are redescribed. new described here under names multiprocessa Yang Zhang sp. nov. (male only, Batang County Sichuan Prov.) yunlingensis Zhao (both sexes Yunling Mountains area Yunnan Prov.). Color images habitus genitalia, SEM male palps, illustrations epigynes all provided. Specimens examined deposited in Institute...
Both sexes of two Bifidocoelotes species, obscurus sp. nov. and B. primus (Fox, 1937), were collected in Hong Kong, China. The male was previously unknown. Descriptions illustrations both species are provided the generic diagnosis is revised.
The further collection and study of Chinese wolf spiders, family Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833, expand the known distribution subfamily Artoriinae Framenau, 2007 from Yunnan to Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan Provinces South China. Sinartoria gen. nov. is described include two new species, S. damingshanensis sp. (type species) zhuangius In addition, a Artoria A. hamata records for ligulacea (Qu, Peng & Yin, 2009) parvula Thorell, 1877 are provided. Within Artoriinae, appears be most similar...
A new wolf spider genus, Serratacosa gen. nov., is erected based on the type and species, S. medogensis et sp. nov. two newly combined himalayensis (Gravely, 1924) (from Hogna Simon, 1885) multidontata (Qu, Peng & Yin, 2010) Pardosa C.L. Koch, 1847). All of them are from southern slopes Eastern Himalayas. Descriptions genera a redescription provided together with digital images, illustrations distribution map.
Two new species of the genus Trilacuna Tong & Li, 2007, T. jinyun Tong, Zhang sp. nov. (♂♀) and jiuchi Li (♂♀), are described from Chongqing, China. Photos habitus copulatory organs provided.
Quantifying carbon (C) sequestration in paddy soils is necessary to help better understand the effect of agricultural practices on C cycle. The objective present study was assess effects tillage [conventional (CT) and no-tillage (NT)] application nitrogen (N) fertilizer (0 210 kg N ha−1) fluxes CH4 CO2, soil organic (SOC) during 2009 2010 rice growing seasons central China. Application significantly increased emissions by 13%–66% SOC 21%–94% irrespective sampling depths, but had no CO2...
The wolf spider genus Artoria Thorell, 1877 is a common group in Australasia, currently including 41 species from Australia, three New Zealand and four Pacific islands (Framenau & Baehr 2018; Word Spider Catalog 2019). This does not, however, comprise the whole distribution of genus. type species, A. parvula has been recorded China, Philippines, Indonesia (Sulawesi) Australia (Northern Territory). An endemic ligulacea (Qu, Peng Yin, 2009) was described Yunnan, China. indicates that there...
Abstract Spiders are important models for evolutionary studies of web building, sexual selection and adaptive radiation. The recent development probes UCE (ultra‐conserved element)‐based phylogenomic has shed light on the phylogeny evolution spiders. However, two available probe sets spider phylogenomics (Spider Arachnida sets) have relatively low capture efficiency within spiders, not optimized retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) clade, a hyperdiverse lineage that is key to understanding...
Abstract The process of natural silk production in the spider major ampullate (Ma) gland endows dragline with extraordinary mechanical properties and potential for biomimetic applications. However, precise genetic roles Ma during this remain unknown. Here, we performed a systematic molecular atlas through high-quality genome assembly golden orb-weaving Trichonephila clavata multiomics approach to defining tri-sectional architecture: Tail, Sac, Duct. We uncovered hierarchical biosynthesis...
Living fossils are lineages that have retained plesiomorphic traits through long time periods. It is expected such both originated and diversified ago. Such expectations recently been challenged in some textbook examples of living fossils, notably extant cycads coelacanths. Using a phylogenetic approach, we tested the patterns origin diversification liphistiid spiders, clade spiders considered to be due their retention arachnid plesiomorphies exclusive grouping Mesothelae, an ancient sister...
A total of 107 species belonging to 61 genera have been recorded from China (Anhui, Chongqing, Hainan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Gansu, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Xizang), including 74 new species, five which are described here: Acanoides cornutus Irfan, Zhang & Peng, sp. n.

ABSTRACT Pardosa spiders, belonging to the wolf spider family Lycosidae, play a vital role in maintaining health of forest and agricultural ecosystems due their function pest control. This study presents chromosome‐level genome assemblies for two allied species, P. laura agraria . Both species' genomes show notable expansion helitron transposable elements, which contributes large sizes. Methylome analysis indicates that has higher overall DNA methylation levels compared may not only aids...
Mutatus gen. nov. is described from southwest China, including four new species: M. gelao sp. (♂♀, Guizhou Province), tianyan Hubei tujia and yintiaoling (♂, Chongqing Municipality). This genus can be differentiated other phrurolithid genera by the male palp which has a prolateral tegular apophysis sheet, small protuberance on female epigynal plate.
Two new species of the wolf-spider genus Hippasosa Roewer, 1960 are described from Asia: thailandica sp. nov. (♂) Thailand and H. yunnanensis (♂♀) China. Detailed descriptions, morphological photographs, genitalia illustrations, distribution maps presented. Photographs qiongzhongensis (Yin & Peng, 1997) also provided for comparison purposes.
