A Revision of the Genus Cladothela (Araneae: Gnaphosidae) from Japan

Abstract

Although the genus Cladothela has been represented by only C. boninensis KISHIDA, 1928, it is confirmed that Drassodes oculinotatus BOSENBERG et STRAND, 1906 and Drassodes unciinsignitus BOSENBERG et STRAND, 1906 are also members of Cladothela. These three species are redescribed, and a new species, Cladothela parva, is described from Japan. Zelotes x-notatus (BOSENBERG et STRAND, 1906) is synonymized with Cladothela unciinsignita (BOSENBERG et STRAND, 1906). © 1991, Arachnological Society of Japan. All rights reserved.
