Abstract

Background

Although there have been many recent taxonomic revisions and large-scale faunistic surveys focusing on spiders from Jiangxi Province, many taxa still remain unknown, such as the Anyphaenidae spiders. Therefore, none of the anyphaenid species has been recorded from this Province.

New information

Anyphaenidae spiders were collected from Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve, Jiangxi Province, China, during the past ten years. A new tube spider species, Anyphaenaleidashi Yao & Liu, sp. nov. is diagnosed, described and illustrated. Moreover, three species including A.mogan Song & Chen, 1987, A.wuyi Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2005 and Rathalosxiushanensis (Song & Zhu, 1991) are recorded from Jiangxi Province for the first time. Distributions records are given for all investigated species.

The spider family Anyphaenidae is one of the largest families of spiders in the world. They usually occur in the foliage of trees, leaf litter, sometimes in bamboo crust. It consists of 646 species in 58 genera (World Spider Catalog 2024). Of these, 15 species in 3 genera have been reported from China, including Anyphaenacibagou Wang & Mi, 2024 (Xizang), A.grovyle Lin & Li, 2021 (Hainan), A.linzhi Wang & Mi, 2024 (Xizang), A.mogan Song & Chen, 1987 (Zhejiang and Hunan), A.rhynchophysa Feng, Ma & Yang, 2012 (Yunnan), A.sceptile Lin & Li, 2021 (Hainan), A.shenzhen Lin & Li, 2021 (Guangdong), A.shufui Wang & Mi, 2024 (Xizang), A.tibet Lin & Li, 2021 (Xizang), A.wuyi Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2005 (Fujian, Guizhou and Taiwan), A.yejiei Wang & Mi, 2024 (Xizang), A.taiwanensis Chen & Huang, 2011 (Taiwan), Rathalostreecko (Lin & Li 2021) (Hainan), R.xiushanensis (Song & Zhu, 1991) (Sichuan, Hubei and Chongqing), Sinophaenabivalva (Zhang & Song, 2004) (Guangxi) and S.xiweni Lin & Li, 2021 (Sichuan) (World Spider Catalog 2024). It seems these species are distributed widely in the south area of this huge country. However, no species were recorded from Jiangxi Province.

Jiangxi Province is not a biodiversity hotspot for researchers and has not been given enough attention in last ten years in China. Recently, about 100 new species have been discovered from Jiangxi Province, including those such as Agelenidae (Liu et al. 2020a, Liu et al. 2021), Dictynidae (Liu et al. 2018), Oonopidae (Liu et al. 2016, Liu et al. 2019), Phrurolithidae (Liu et al. 2020b, Liu et al. 2020c, Liu et al. 2021, Liu et al. 2022d, Liu et al. 2023), Salticidae (Liu et al. 2017b, Ying et al. 2021, Liu et al. 2022a), Thomisidae (Liu et al. 2017a, Liu et al. 2022c), Gnaphosidae (Liu et al. 2022b), Leptonetidae (Liu et al. 2023) and Anyphaenidae (this study). These discoveries in species diversity are well demonstrated by spiders. However, there are still many species requiring study. While examining spiders collected from Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve in southwest area of Jiangxi, we found these four species belonging to Anyphaena, described a new species with photographs and provided distribution map for them.

Materials and methods

Specimens were examined using a SZ6100 stereomicroscope. Both male and female copulatory organs were dissected and examined in 80% ethanol using an Olympus CX43 compound microscope with a KUY NICE CCD camera. Epigynes were cleared with pancreatin solution (Álvarez-Padilla and Hormiga 2007). Maps were made using the software Arcgis (V. 10.8). Specimens, including dissected male palps and epigynes, were preserved in 75% ethanol after examination. Types are deposited in the Animal Specimen Museum, College of Life Science, Jinggangshan University (ASM-JGSU).

The measurements were taken using a stereomicroscope (AxioVision SE64 Rel. 4.8.3) and are given in millimeters. The body lengths of all specimens exclude the chelicerae and spinnerets. Terminology of the male and female genitalia follows Ramírez (2014) and Baba and Tanikawa (2017). The abbreviations used in the figures and text are: ALE − anterior lateral eye, AME − anterior median eye, At – atrium, CD − copulatory duct, CO − copulatory opening, Con – conductor, d – dorsal, Em – embolus, FD − fertilization duct, Fe – femur, GA − glandular appendage, MA − median apophysis, p – prolateral, Pa – patella, r – retrolateral, RTA − retrolateral tibial apophysis, Spe – spermatheca, Ti – tibia, v – ventral.

Diagnosis

Males of this new species are similar to those of Anyphaenataiwanensis Chen & Huang, 2011 (Chen and Huang (2011): 80, figs 4, 5) and A.yoshitakei Baba & Tanikawa, 2017 (Baba and Tanikawa (2017): 31, fig. 1F, G) in having the shoe-shaped tibial apophysis with an upward thick hook-shaped branch at base, the hook-shaped median apophysis curved ventrally and the flagelliform embolus, but can be distinguished from it by the translucent trapezoidal conductor with a triangular-shaped tip (vs the oval conductor with a long nose-shaped tip in A.taiwanensis and the sub-trapezoidal conductor with a blunt saddle-like tip in A.yoshitakei) (Fig. 2A−C). Female of this species can be easily distinguished from that of A.taiwanensis (Chen and Huang (2011): 80, figs 8, 9) and A.yoshitakei (Baba and Tanikawa (2017): 31, fig. 1C, D) by the slender atrium (vs relatively broad in A.taiwanensis and A.yoshitakei) and the parallel inner margin of spermathecae (vs slightly splayed in A.taiwanensis and convergent in A.yoshitakei) (Fig. 2D, E).

Etymology

The specific name is a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality, Chinese characters "雷打石".

Distribution

Known only from the type locality in Jiangxi Province, China (Fig. 3).

Biology

Specimens were mainly collected under the bark in a broad-leaved forest.

Distribution

Known from Jiangxi (new record, Fig. 3), Hunan (Yin et al. 2012) and Zhejiang (Song and Chen 1987), China.

Notes

This species has been reported from Jiangxi Province first time andmay be more widespread in outh China than we actually know.

Description

See Zhang et al. (2005) for both sexes.

Distribution

Known from Jiangxi (new record, Fig. 3), Fujian (Zhang et al. 2005), Guizhou (Zhang et al. 2005) and Taiwan (Chen 2010), China.

Notes

This species has been reported from Jiangxi Province first time. The distribution may be more widespread in South China than we actually know. This hypothesis will be confirmed or rejected in the future when more materials can be collected.

Description

See Song and Zhu (1991) for both sexes.

Distribution

Known from Jiangxi (new record, Fig. 3), Sichuan (Song and Zhu 1991), Hubei (Song and Zhu 1991, Lin et al. 2022) and Chongqing (Lin et al. 2022), China.

Notes

The genus Rathalos Lin & Li, 2022 was established by Lin et al. (2022) based on the type species of Anyphaenaxiushanensis. Besides the type locality, it has been recorded from bushes in diverse locations of Jiangxi, Sichuan and Hubei. It seems that widely distributed in southern China. This hypothesis will be confirmed or rejected in the future when more materials can be collected.

Discussion

Occurrence of these four anyphaenida species, Anyphaenaleidashi sp. nov., A.mogan Song & Chen, 1987, A.wuyi Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2005 and Rathalosxiushanensis (Song & Zhu 1991) in Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve unexpected one of the National Nature Reserves from Jiangxi rovince. The highest species diversity of nyphaenida in South China was reported in Xizang (five species) and Hainan (four species) (Lin et al. 2021, Lin et al. 2022, Li et al. 2024, World Spider Catalog 2024). diversity on anyphaenids species in Jiangxi is relatively high. It suggests that some anyphaenida species will also be found in other Nature Reserves or mountains in Jiangxi Province. However, this still needs to be confirmed by future collecting works.
