A New Anyphaena Species From China (Araneae: Anyphaenidae)
Abstract
Anyphaena wuyi sp. nov. is described by means of two males and two females from Wuyi Mountain of Fujian Province, China. It is also recorded from Daozhen County of Guizhou Province, China. According to examined characters it belongs to the pacifica-group. The species Anyphaena liuyangensis Xu, Yin & Yan, 2002 is considered a junior synonym of Cheiracanthium fibrosum Zhang, Hu & Zhu, 1994 (new synonymy).

Anyphaena wuyi sp. nov. is described by means of two males and two females from Wuyi Mountain of Fujian Province, China. It is also recorded from Daozhen County of Guizhou Province, China. According to examined characters it belongs to the pacifica-group. The species Anyphaena liuyangensis Xu, Yin & Yan, 2002 is considered a junior synonym of Cheiracanthium fibrosum Zhang, Hu & Zhu, 1994 (new synonymy).
The genus Luppetiana Brescovit, 1996 composed actually by nine species, from which five are herein described as new is revised: L. manauara from Brazil; L. levii from Dominican Republic; L. eberhardi from Costa Rica; L. piedra from Cuba; and L. bimini from Bahamas Islands. The species L. perpusilla (Banks, 1909) is synonymyzed with L. parvula (Banks, 1903). Lectotype and paralectotype of L. parvula are designated. The known geographical distribution of the genus ranges from United States of America to north of Brazil.
Anyphaenidae are diagnosed by the pattern of tracheal system, the forwardly advanced tracheal spiracle, and the lamelliform claw tuft setae. Cladistic analyses of the relationships of the anyphaenid genera are made from a selection of 9 exemplar taxa scored for 20 characters. In result, three subfamilies are proposed. Malenellinae subfam. n. is erected for Malenella nana gen. & sp. n. from southern Chile. This subfamily is considered as the sister group of all other anyphaenids. Anyphaeninae and Amaurobioidinae form a monophyletic group united by the orientation of the claw tuft setae and the grooved cymbial tip. Anyphaeninae are diagnosed by three characters associated with the advancement of the spiracle toward the epigastric furrow. Amaurobioidinae are diagnosed by the ingression of the median hematodocha in the male tegulum, and a characteristic secondary conductor. The relationships among the genera of Amaurobioidinae are discussed. The complex tracheal system of anyphaenids develops, during ontogeny, from a simple four-branched system. The genera Aysenia (from Clubionidae), Philisca (from Miturgidae) and Sanogasta (from Corinnidae) are transferred to Anyphaenidae: Amaurobioidinae.
The present paper deals with a new species of the Genus Anyphaena (Fam. Anyphaenidae) named Anyphaena liuyangensis sp. nov. The type is deposited in the College of Life Science, Human Normal University. All the measurements are given in mm. Anyphaena liuyangensis sp. nov. Holotype ♀, Liuyang County(28*12′N,113*36′E), Hunan Province, June,1995, collected by YAN Heng-mei. Holotype ♀, total length 6.00, cephalothorax 3.00 × 2.20, abdomen 3.00 × 1.80. This new species is similar to Anyphaena xiushanensis Song et Zhu, 1991, but can be distinguished by the following aspects:1) the shapes of atrium obviously different:2) the shapes of receptacuna duct different. The specific name is derived from the type locality.
All the taxa discussed, except for one, are barely known from the Middle East. The spider families Anyphaenidae and Hahniidae are recorded from Israel for the first time. Although Anyphaena syriaca was known from its sole record from Beirut, Lebanon, over ninety years ago, the European Hahnia candida reported here from Israel is the first hahniid found in the Middle East. The Ctenidae was known from this part of the world only by the record of a very young specimen collected in Israel in 1865. Newly collected adults and young proved to belong to Anahita, a genus not formerly known from west Asia. Zoridae that were reported from Israel by Strand in 1915 are misidentifications of Zora manicata, not formerly known from the Middle East. In addition, a new zorid genus and new species, Israzorides judaeus, are described. Of the Hersiliidae with the exceptionally long spinnerets, only very few specimens of Hersilia caudata, not formerly known from Israel, were collected in the southern parts of the country. Hersiliids with relatively short spinnerets are represented in Israel by two species: the rather common Hersiliola simonii and the less abundant H. macullulata. The latter is recorded for the first time from Israel. The following new synonyms are recognized: Zora jaffana Strand, 1915 = Zora manicata Simon, 1878; and Hersiliola lucasii O.P.-Cambridge, 1876 = Hersiliola simonii (O.P.-Cambridge, 1872).
