Abstract
The present paper deals with two new species, Yaginumaella pulchella sp. nov. and Yaginumaella hubeiensis sp. nov. Distributional data, as well as illustrations of body and copulatory organs, are provided. Descriptions of their morphology are given. The differences between the new species and their related taxa are discussed.
Highlights
Yaginumaella Prószyński, 1979 was based on the type species Y. striatipes (Grube, 1861)
While we examined the specimens collected from Wuling Mountain (Hunan, Hubei), two new species of Yaginumaella were identified and are described here
A total of 46 species have been described mainly from subtropical Bhutan, China, India, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Nepal, and Russia (World Spider Catalog 2018), and Ptocasius (Simon, 1885) only contains 13 species described from China, India, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam (World Spider Catalog 2018)
Summary
Yaginumaella Prószyński, 1979 was based on the type species Y. striatipes (Grube, 1861). All the 46 species of Yaginumaella have been described from Asia (World Spider Catalog 2018). Eighteen species have been described from China (Prószyński 1979; Żabka 1980, 1981; Song & Chai 1992; Xie & Peng 1995; Yang et al 1997; Peng et al 2002, 2008; Zhu et al 2005; Zhang & Zhu 2007; Liu et al 2016). While we examined the specimens collected from Wuling Mountain (Hunan, Hubei), two new species of Yaginumaella were identified and are described here. European Journal of Taxonomy 488: 1–10 (2018)
