Taxonomic review of the Asian Trogloneta species (Araneae, Mysmenidae)

Abstract

Five Trogloneta species from Southwest China and Japan are reviewed that two new combinations and a new synonymy are proposed in the current paper: T. nojimai (Ono, 2010), comb. n. is transferred from Mysmena, T. yunnanense (Song & Zhu, 1994), comb. n. (= T. denticocleari Lin & Li, 2008, syn. n.) is transferred from Pholcomma of the Theridiidae, T. speciosum Lin & Li, 2008, T. uncata Lin & Li, 2013, and T. yuensis Lin & Li, 2013. The female of T. yuensis is described for the first time. An identification key and diagnoses are provided for these species, as well as new photographs or illustrations of the genital organs and habitus of T. yuensis and T. yunnanense.
