Vappolotes Zhao & Li 2019
No full textGenus Vappolotes Zhao & Li, 2019 Type species. Vappolotes ganlongensis Zhao & Li, 2019, from Guizhou Province. Remarks. The genus Vappolotes originally was described with only two species: V. ganlongensis Zhao & Li, 2019 (♀ ³) and V. jianpingensis Zhao & Li, 2019 (♀). Some diagnostic characters of this genus are amended here, eg. conductor with dorsal and ventral apophyses in Li et al. (2019a) corrected to dorsal conductor and anterior conductor; tegular apophysis in Li et al. (2019a) corrected to posterior conductor; retrolateral tibial apophysis in Li et al. (2019a) corrected to lateral tibial apophysis; ventrolateral tibial apophysis in Li et al. (2019a) corrected to retrolateral tibial apophysis (Fig. 1A–C); atrium with longitudinal setae plexus, copulatory ducts and spermathecae located anteriorly, medially or posteriorly (Fig. 1D, E). Li et al. (2019a) and Okumura & Zhao (2022) proposed Vappolotes, Longicoelotes Wang, 2002, Platocoelotes Wang, 2002, Papiliocoelites Zhao & Li, 2016 and Spiricoelotes Wang, 2022 are sister groups belonging to lacking epigynal teeth clade, as: {[(Vappolotes + Papiliocoelotes) + Spiricoelotes] + Longicoelotes} + Platocoelotes.Published as part of Li, Bing, Zhao, Zhe & Li, Shuqiang, 2023, Three new species of the genus Vappolotes Zhao & Li, 2019 (Araneae, Agelenidae) from southwest China, pp. 325-336 in Zootaxa 5270 (2) on page 326, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5270.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/786501

No full textMilema Zhao & Li, gen. nov. Type species. Milema nuichua Zhao & Li, sp. nov. Diagnosis. This genus can be distinguished from Telema by the following characters: the ratio of the length of embolus/carapace 0.25–0.30 (vs. 0.50–0.65), the presence of a prolateral cymbial apophysis (vs. absence), belt-shaped tibial glands (vs. plate-shaped), the ratio of the length of embolus/bulb 0.38–1.10 (vs. smaller than 0.32); spermatheca sac-like or globular (vs. cane shaped). Description. Total length 0.90–1.15 in male, 0.95–1.20 in female. Carapace 0.40–0.51 long, Carapace pear shaped, pale or dark brown. Six eyes encircled by black or absent. Tibia I 0.52–0.94. Leg formula 1243, leg glands belt shaped. Abdomen blue or for males, bulb small relative to carapace, the length ratio of bulb/carapace 0.25–0.30. Length of cymbium> femur> tibia> patella; cymbial apophysis present prolaterally. Distribution. Southern Vietnam and Southern Thailand. Etymology. The generic name is a combination of the first two letters of millet (referring to the small size) and the latter four letters of Telema (type genus of the family); feminine in gender. Species included. Milema lorkor Zhao & Li, sp. nov., Milema nuichua Zhao & Li, sp. nov. and Milema sai Zhao & Li, sp. nov. Biology. Habitats of this genus are diverse. The type species, M. nuichua Zhao & Li, sp. nov. inhabits leaf litter; M. sai Zhao & Li, sp. nov. is found at cave entrances; and M. lorkor Zhao & Li, sp. nov. is found deep in caves. These spiders have particular morphological characters adapting to their diverse habitats.Published as part of Lin, Yejie, Zhao, Huifeng, Koh, Joseph K H & Li, Shuqiang, 2022, Taxonomy notes on twenty-eight spider species (Arachnida: Araneae) from Asia, pp. 198-270 in Zoological Systematics 47 (3) on page 245, DOI: 10.11865/zs.2022303, http://zenodo.org/record/717585

Burmalema Zhao & Li 2022, gen. nov.
No full textBurmalema Zhao & Li, gen. nov. Type species. Burmalema shan Zhao & Li, sp. nov. Diagnosis. The new genus resembles Telema Simon, 1882 by lacking a cymbial apophysis, but it can be distinguished by the following: belt-shaped tibial glands (vs. plate-shaped); ratio of embolus/bulb lengths ca. 0.80 (vs. less than 0.42), and twisted embolus (vs. triangular or nearly needle-shaped); females can be distinguished by the L-shaped endogyne with long and sclerotized tubes (vs. cane shaped, with membranous tubes). The new genus can be distinguished from all the other genera of Telemidae by the absence of a cymbial apophysis (vs. presence). Description. Total length 1.25–1.53, carapace 0.52–0.90 long. Eyes vestigial. Carapace, sternum, endites, labium and legs light brown. Endites longer than wide; labium wider than long. Tibia I 0.90–1.00. Leg formula 1243. In male, length of cymbium> femur> tibia> patella; prolateral cymbial apophysis absent; embolus spiraled and long relative to bulb. Endogyne simple, with tube inside, expended distally. Distribution. Myanmar. Etymology. The generic name is derived from “ Burma ”, referring the name of type locality, Myanmar, and “-lema” is a convention from Telema, the type genus of the family; feminine in gender. Species included.

Troglocoelotes Li & Zhao & Zhang & Li 2019, gen. n.
No full textGenus Troglocoelotes Z. Zhao & S. Li gen. n. (Figs 1–15) Type species. Troglocoelotes yumiganen sis Z. Zhao & S. Li gen. n. Etymology. The generic name refers to the cave habitat and coelotine spiders. The gender is masculine. Diagnosis. Troglocoelotes is closely related to Guilotes Z. Zhao & S. Li 2018 based on the copulatory organs morphology but can be distinguished by having 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth (Fig. 1D) vs. with 5–6 promarginal and 5 retromarginal teeth in Guilotes, eyes reduced (Fig. 1A) or absent (Fig. 1B) vs. normal in Guilotes (Fig. 1C); male palp: median apophysis slice-shaped and with a bent tip (Figs 5 B–C, 8B–C, 10B–C, 12B– C) vs. spoon-shaped, cymbium not suddenly narrowing (Figs 5C, 8C, 10C, 12C), conductor without outgrowth, tegulum and bulbus not intumescent as in Guilotes (Figs 5A, 8A, 10A, 12A); epigyne: epigynal teeth located anteriorly (Fig. 1 E–F) or medially (Figs 7A, 9A) vs. posteriorly, spermathecae ellipsoidal, anterior parts specialized, coiled by copulatory ducts, slender and long (Fig. 1 G–H) vs. spermathecae long and heads fused with copulatory ducts. Description. Small to medium sized with a total length between 3.83–9.28. Coloration: carapace and chelicerae brown; abdomen and spinnerets pale; legs yellowish or pale. Prosoma, posterior radial furrows and both sides of fovea, and chelicerae covered with hairs. Chelicerae with 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth. Eyes reduced or absent. Legs without black annular striations, leg formula 4123. Abdomen covered with hairs, with cardiac pattern in the most species, without any other marks. Spinnerets: the proximal segment is as long as the basal segment. Male palp: patellar apophysis long in the most species (Figs 8 B–C, 12B–C), but short in T. liangensis (Fig. 5 B–C), wide at base in T. tortus (Fig. 10 B–C); VTA wide and short (the tip just over patellar tibia) (Fig. 5 B–C); RTA about 1/2 the length of VTA (Figs 5C, 8C, 10C, 12C); cymbial furrow in most species long (Figs 5C, 8C, 10C), about 1/2 the length of cymbium in T. yumiganensis (Fig. 12C); embolus filiform, beginning at 6 to 7 o’clock position (Figs 5 A–C, 8A–C, 10A–C, 12A–C); conductor simple but in most species with a blunt dorsal apophysis (Figs 8 B–C, 10B–C) and a lamella (Figs 5B, 10B, 12B); median apophysis slice-shaped with bent tip (Figs 5 B–C, 8B–C, 10B–C, 12B–C). Epigyne: atrium small (Figs 3A, 4A, 6A, 7A, 9A, 11A, 13A); epigynal teeth vary in shape but point medially in the most species (Figs 3A, 4A, 6A, 7A, 9A, 13A); hoods absent; copulatory ducts long and semi-transparent with light color, spermathecae ellipsoidal with dark color, anterior parts specialized, coiled by copulatory ducts, slender and long (Figs 3B, 4B, 6B, 7B, 9B, 11B, 13B). Natural history. All species of Troglocoelotes gen. n. were collected from the deep zone of moist and dark caves (Fig. 15). Characteristics like reduced eyes and pale body coloration indicate they are true troglobionts. Distribution. Guizhou and Guangxi, China (Fig. 14). Comments. The relationships of coelotine spiders were recently analyzed using 8 genes from 286 species in 19 genera (Zhao & Li 2017). The molecular topologies supported Troglocoelotes as a new genus and suggested that Guilotes is the sister-group (Fig. 2).Published as part of Li, Bing, Zhao, Zhe, Zhang, Chuntian & Li, Shuqiang, 2019, Troglocoelotes gen. n., a new genus of Coelotinae spiders (Araneae, Agelenidae) from caves in South China, pp. 219-238 in Zootaxa 4554 (1) on pages 220-222, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4554.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/262352
