Epidius ganxiensis Yin, Peng & Kim 1999, new combination
Epidius ganxiensis (Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999), new combination (Figs. 3 A–J, 7) Philodromus ganxiensis Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999: 356, Fig. 2 A–G (types in HNU, examined) Material examined. – 2 males, 3 females (HNU), Ganxi Township, Tongdao County (26°03'N 109°17'E), Hunan Province, China, coll. C. Yin, X. Peng and Y. Zhang, 1 Jun.1996. Description. – Male palp with a spatulate VTA and 6 macrosetae in a row at tibial apex, conductor transparent, twisted and concave at apex; embolus slender, apically hidden under the conductor. Epigyne with a pair of spatulate sclerotized plates posteriorly; copulatory openings slit like, copulatory ducts complexly twisted; spermathecae curved in n-shape. Diagnosis. – This species can be separated from E. gongi (Song & Kim, 1992) by: the atrium slit-shaped laterally (pit like medially); the ratio of length of palpal tibia to palp = 1.2 (5.0 in E. gongi). Distribution. – China (Hunan). Remarks. – The species was firstly placed under the spider family Philodromidae. However, the male palp has a spatulate VTA and a row of macrosetae, which are the typical diagnostic characters of the genus Epidius of family Thomisidae. Philodromus ganxiensis Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999, should be transferred to the genus Epidius as E. ganxiensis (Yin, Peng & Kim, 1999), new combination.Published as part of Tang, Guo, Yin, Changmin, Peng, Xianjin & Griswold, Charles, 2009, Six Crab Spiders Of The Subfamily Stephanopinae From Southeast Asia (Araneae: Thomisidae), pp. 39-50 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 57 (1) on page 44, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.450821

Body dark brown, legs light brown, antennae brown. Head: punctation moderately fine and moderately dense, somewhat sparser in median dorsal portion; interstices with shallow microsculpture. Eyes moderately small and composed of approximately 60 ommatidia. Pronotum with weakly convex lateral margins in dorsal view; punctation somewhat sparser than that of head; impunctate midline broad; interstices without microsculpture. Elytral punctation dense and shallow, defined to ill-defined. Hind wings completely reduced. Abdomen with fine and rather dense punctation, that of tergite VII sparser than that of anterior tergites; interstices with shallow microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII without palisade fringe. Male. Posterior margin of tergite VIII weakly convex; sternites III–VI unmodified; sternite VII (Fig. 8 A) strongly transverse, with dense dark setae in shallow median impression posteriorly, posterior margin broadly concave in the middle, pubescence unmodified, except for few modified short marginal setae near posterior concavity; sternite VIII (Fig. 8 B) transverse, with deep median impression posteriorly, posterior excision deep and symmetric, margins of this excision with short, blackish setae; aedeagus as in Figs 8 C, D, ventral process long and asymmetric; dorsal plate moderately sclerotized and thin; internal sac with a long sclerotized spine. Female. Unknown. Comparative notes. The similar shape and chaetotaxy of the male sternite VIII (posterior excision with dense short and dark setae), the morphology of the aedeagus (asymmetric ventral process; presence of a long sclerotized spine in internal sac; thin dorsal plate) and the external characters (large body; finely punctate head) suggest that L. shuguangi is allied to L. hujiayaoi Peng & Li, 2013 from Maoer Shan, Guangxi. It is distinguished from L. hujiayaoi by the lighter coloration of the body, the shallow median impression of the male sternite VII and the shape of the male sternite VIII. For illustrations of L. hujiayaoi see Peng et al. (2013). Distribution and natural history. The type locality is situated in the Wugong Shan to the south of Pingxiang, western Jiangxi. The specimen was sifted from leaf litter in mixed forests at an altitude of 1340–1400 m, together with L. taiye. Etymology. This species is dedicated to Mr. Shu-Guang Peng, the first author’s father, who supported us on our field trips.Published as part of Peng, Zhong, Li, Li-Zhen & Zhao, Mei-Jun, 2016, On the Lathrobium fauna of the Luoxiao Mountains, Central China, pp. 385-402 in Zootaxa 4158 (3) on pages 395-396, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4158.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/27221

A range test secure in the active adversary model
In ACISP 2006, Peng et al proposed a novel range test technique, which tests whether the integer encrypted in a ciphertext is in an interval range. Their solution is more efficient than any previous solution to range test. However, their technique only works in the passive adversary model, so cannot be widely applied. In this paper, the range test by Peng et al is optimised to be secure in the active adversary model. Although the new range test protocol is less efficient than the original scheme by Peng et al, it is still an efficient solution and can be employed in a much wider application area
