... More than 460 species in 50 genera have been recorded in China (Li, 2020;WSC, 2024). Although the number of Chinese araneid species has increased in recent years (Gan et al., 2020;Mi & Li, 2021a, 2021bMi et al., 2023aMi et al., , 2024aMi et al., , 2024bWang et al., 2021;Wu et al., 2023), some significant problems in Chinese araneid taxonomy have not been addressed. First, the type genus Araneus has been used as a "dumping ground" for vaguely similar species. ...

... The taxonomic study of the family from China has a relatively long history, but it has been in rapid development until recently four decades (WSC 2024). A series of continuous taxonomic studies from some tropical areas, such as Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, and Hainan provinces, and taxonomic studies and revisions on several genera of Chrysillini Simon, 1901 andEuophryini Simon, 1901 have significantly increased our knowledge (Wang et al. 2023;WSC 2024). Peng et al. (1993) and Peng (2020) also conducted two comprehensive taxonomic works. ...

The true diversity of species is likely to still remain largely undiscovered, awaiting further investigation. ...

... Hainan, the second-largest Chinese Island, has presented very high species diversity (Tang and Li 2010). As in most Chinese regions, the taxonomic study of jumping spiders from this island began at the end of the 20 th century (Song et al. 1988), but knowledge has rapidly increased in the last more than three decades, with the series of taxonomic studies and biodiversity surveys conducted (Song et al. 1988;Song 1991;Song and Chai 1991;Peng and Kim 1997;Song and Zhu 1998;Zhang and Li 2005;Peng and Li 2006;Guo 2011;Guo et al. 2011a, b;Barrion et al. 2013;Zhou and Li 2013;Xu et al. 2021;Wang and Li 2022b;Yu et al. 2022).

It is worth mentioning that although the known species diversity of Eupoinae has dramatically increased in the past decade (Zhou and Li 2013;Logunov and Marusik 2014;Lin and Li 2020;Ying et al. 2021;Wang and Li 2022;Wang et al. 2023;Logunov 2024), we expect that many more species remain to be discovered. Future thorough comparative morphological studies, especially on the genitalic organs, will help to pinpoint the synapomorphies for the clade containing Eupoinae and Spartaeinae, as well as different lineages within Eupoinae. ...
