Validifemur gen. n. is described with two new species, V. pedodontus sp. n. and V. zapparolii sp. n., from the Shanxi Province of North China. These new taxa have some exceptional morphological characters, especially the strong protuberance on the last pair of legs in male. Both species are described based on both male and female specimens.

A review of Chinese occurences of the genus Cermatobius Haase, 1885 (Lithobiomorpha: Henicopidae) is based on both male and female specimens. Diagnoses, descriptions, distributions, and figures are presented for the two Chinese species, C. longicornis (Takakuwa, 1939) and C. longitarsis (Verhoeff, 1934a); at the same time, we designated a neotype for C. longicornis.

The pholcid spiders from Tibet, China, are reviewed. Seven species belonging to three genera are recorded. A new genus, Tibetia, is established, and four new species, Pholcus medog, P. zham, Belisana gyirong and B. mainling are described. And two new combinations are formed: Tibetia everesti (Hu & Li 1987) is transferred from Pholcus, and Belisana yadongensis (Hu 1985) is transferred from Spermophora.

The cribellate amaurobiid genus Taira, which is suggested to be most similar to the genus Amaurobius and some other related genera, is revised based on genital characters. Eight species, one from Japan and seven from China, are included. Five new species from China are described: T. cangshan, T. concava, T. latilabiata, T. obtusa, and T. sulciformis. Titanoeca decorata Yin & Bao 2001 is newly transferred to this genus and its male is described for the first time. Taira lunaris Wang & Ran 2004 is newly synonymized with T. liboensis Zhu, Chen & Zhang 2004.

The present paper deals with nine genera and 32 species of the family Pisauridae from China, including two new genera, Dianpisaura (type species, Pisaura lizhii Zhang 2000) and Qianlingula (type species, Qianlingula bilamellata new species), and 11 new species, Dolomedes costatus, D. raptoroides, Eurychoera banna, Hygropoda argentata, H. campanulata, H. menglun, H. yunnan, Qianlingula bilamellata, Q. jiafu, Q. turbinata and Thalassius paralbocinctus. The genus Eurychoera Thorell 1897 and the species Perenethis sindica (Simon 1897) are newly recorded from China. The males of the species Dianpisaura lizhii (Zhang 2000) and Dolomedes mizhoanus Kishida 1936 are described for the first time. The study indicates that Thalassius bottrelli Barrion & Litsinger 1995 and T. balingkinitanus Barrion & Litsinger 1995 from the Philippines should be transferred to the genus Hygropoda. The species Dolomedes insurgens Chamberlin 1924 and D. pallitarsis Dönitz & Strand 1906 are shown to be the junior synonyms of D. saganus Bösenberg & Strand 1906, and the species D. strandi Bonnet 1929 is considered to be a junior synonym of D. senilis Simon 1880. Scanning electron microscopy is used to study the spigot morphology of several pisaurids. The SEM results indicate the differences of pisaurid spigots at the generic level, both in shape and numbers. A cladistic analysis of 21 species from China is presented.

The present paper deals with two new species of the genus Bothropolys Wood, 1862 (Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae), recently discovered in China. Bothropolys stoevi sp. n. was found in Hebei and Shanxi Provinces, and Bothropolys edge-combei sp. n. was found in Sichuan Province. We present a key and distributional map of the Chinese Bothropolys species.

The entire mitochondrial genome of the bristletail Pedetontus silvestrii (Mendes) (Archaeognatha: Machilidae) was sequenced. The genome is 15,879 bp and bears the standard set of genes common to all arthropods. Genome features like nucleotide composition and codon use are compared with three other bristletails. The gene trnQ was inverted compared with the order in other hexapods. The major noncoding region (the A+T-rich region or control region) between the small ribosomal subunit (rrnS) and the trnI gene includes one extensive repeat region, which has two tandem repeats of a 128-bp sequence. A+T content is higher than in other known species of Archaeognatha and Zygentoma but is similar to that in Collembola and Pterygota.

The present paper describes a new species of the genus Australobius Chamberlin, 1920 (Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae) recently discovered in Tibet, China. Australobius anamagnus from Lhünze County, Shannan City. The cephalic shield, tergites, coxosternum and certain other diagnostic characters of the new species are illustrated.
... For nearly half a century, only Park et al. (2016) conducted mitochondrial DNA research on unnamed species of Bothropolys; Ganske et al. (2020) studied the sequence fragments of 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, 16S rRNA and COI for four species of Bothropolys. Scholars Wang and Mauriès (1996) reviewed and listed four species of Bothropolys in China, Ma et al. (2008a) reviewed and listed seven species of Bothropolys in China, Ma et al. (2008b) have described and published two new species, Ma (2012) documented the two described species within the Hengshui Lake National Nature Reserve, Ma et al. (2014) reviewed and listed nine species of Bothropolys in China, Qin et al. (2017) have described and published one new species, bringing the number of Bothropolys species known from China to a total of eleven. It is therefore evident that the taxonomy of the genus Bothropolys is relatively poorly advanced both domestically and internationally, with most studies focusing on external morphological descriptions and seldom addressing molecular sequence data, especially in molecular phylogenetic analyses. ...

... Though Hu and Li (1987) illustrated P. pandeae, their identification was based on the original illustrations of Tikader (1969) rather than the re-examination of the types. Since the original illustrations of P. pandeae are less informative to diagnose this species reliably, the subsequent identifications of this species from China (Hu & Li 1987;Hu 2001;Zhu et al. 2006) could be wrong. To provide a clear taxonomic identity to Indian Plator species, we have re-examined the type materials available in the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata and the results are presented below. ...

... The family Agelenidae C.L. Koch, 1837 has been under review for over two centuries, with most genera transferred out of the family to other families such as Amaurobiidae Thorell, 1870, Dictynidae O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871, Hahnii-dae Bertkau, 1878, Linyphiidae Blackwall, 1859, Pisauridae Simon, 1890and Zodariidae Thorell, 1881(Roth 1956, 1965Lehtinen 1967). The distinguishing characters of this family are a paired colulus and elongated posterior pair of spinnerets (Dippenaar-Schoeman and Jocqué 1997;Lehtinen 1967;Zhang et al. 2005). An extensive revision has also been suggested within the family, whereby species are from time to time attributed to different genera. ...
