First description of the male of Platocoelotes uenoi (Yamaguchi & Yaginuma 1971), n. comb. and a new record of Draconarius coreanus (Paik & Yaginuma 1969) (Araneae: Coelotidae) from Kyushu, Japan

Abstract

The male of Platocoelotes uenoi (Yamaguchi & Yaginuma 1971), n. comb. is described for the first time on the basis of specimens collected from Fukue Island, Kyushu, Japan. The species is transferred from the genus Coelotes. Draconarius coreanus (Paik & Yaginuma 1969) is recognized for the first time from Japan on the basis of a female specimen collected from Tsushima Island. The spider was first recorded as Coelotes sp. from the same island by Yaginuma et al. (1976).
