... A total of 64 samples from 28 batches have been collected from field surveys or market commodity in China since 2015. All samples were identified into five nominal species according to characteristics recorded by Siriwut et al. [1], Kang et al. [2], Song et al. [18], and Zhang and Wang [19]. e sample information is summarized in Table 1. ...

... Remarks. According to Attems (1930) and Chao (2002), tergites 5-20 have two complete paramedian sutures, but Song et al. (2004) reported these sutures at tergites 4-21 and oblique sutures in the anterior corners of tergites 3-4. The recently studied specimens have complete paramedian sutures at tergites 8-18 (Fig. 2C). ...

... Eight species have been recorded in China (Lewis 2003;Song et al. 2005;Niu et al. 2021), all assigned to the subgenus Otostigmus. These species belong to four of the nine groups mentioned by Lewis (2010): ...

... Its southern region, the Himalaya, exhibits a pronounced vertical stratification of ecosystems and is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot for the study of animal taxonomy as well as biological evolution (Cai et al. 2018;Li et al. 2022). A century ago, seventeen centipede species have been documented in Xizang, comprising eight species of Scolopendromorpha and seven species of Lithobiomorpha (Lewis 2010;Song et al. 2010;Ma et al. 2014;Qiao et al. 2019;Niu et al. 2021;Chen et al. 2023). However, understanding of the soil centipede species diversity in Xizang remains quite limited. ...

... Tanikawa (2000) placed four Japanese orb-weaving spider species, three of which were previously listed in Zilla C.L. Koch, 1834, into Eriophora Simon, 1864, after he added these species to Scharff & Coddington's (1997) comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of orbweaving spiders. This generic placement was later adopted for Chinese and Taiwanese species of similar morphology (Chang & Tso, 2004;Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2006). However, Tanikawa (2000) had already noted considerable differences in genital morphology and eye pattern between the Asian and true Eriophora. ...

... Currently, more than 85 species of ground spiders from 15 genera have been recorded in Mongolia (World Spider Catalog 2022). Gnaphosids are distributed throughout the most of the drylands on earth, but their diversity is higher within temperate zone (Zhang & Zhu 2008). Among gnaphosids, Coreodrassus Paik 1984 is a small, Central and East Asian genus, currently comprising only four described species (World Spider Catalog 2022). ...

... Recently, a large number of new species of Pholcus have been reported from these two areas. In China, Zhang and Zhu (2009) reviewed 55 species of the genus, including 20 newly described species. Tong and colleagues (Tong & Ji 2010;Tong & Li 2010;Liu & Tong 2015) reported 12 new species mostly from Hebei and Liaoning Provinces. ...

... The wolf spider, Pardosa pseudoannulata (Araneae: Lycosidae), primarily feeds on a variety of agricultural pests such as planthoppers, leafhoppers, and other Lepidoptera pests (Preap et al., 2001;Wang et al., 2006;Huang et al., 2018). It is wide-spread, has a high adaptability to its environment, and is commonly found in moist habitats at the edges of bodies of water (Yang et al., 2018(Yang et al., , 2022Wang et al., 2021;Lv et al., 2021b). ...
