Guilotes, a new genus of Coelotinae spiders from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China (Araneae, Agelenidae).

A new genus of the subfamily Coelotinae F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893, Guilotes Z. Zhao & S. Li, gen. n. from China is described, as well as four new species: G.ludiensis Z. Zhao & S. Li, sp. n. (♂♀, type species), G.qingshitanensis Z. Zhao & S. Li, sp. n. (♂♀), G.xingpingensis Z. Zhao & S. Li, sp. n. (♂♀) and G.yandongensis Z. Zhao & S. Li, sp. n. (♀). The DNA barcodes of all species are documented for future use.

Introduction

The spider subfamily (, ) comprises 743 valid species belonging to 30 genera (World Spider Catalog 2018; Li and Quan 2017). are recorded only in the Nearctic, Palearctic, and Indo-Malaya regions with 89% of the species distributed in Asia, 7% in Europe, and 4% in North America. New coelotine genera and species had been recently discovered (Chen et al. 2015a, b, 2016a, b; PageBreakZhang and Marusik 2016; Zhang et al. 2016a, b; Zhao and Li 2016; Komnenov 2017; Okumura 2017; Quasin et al. 2017; Zhang and Zhao 2017; Zhang et al. 2017; Zhu et al. 2017; Li et al. 2018a, b). Zhao and Li (2017) studied the evolutionary history and biogeography of using molecular data (8 genes, ~ 6.5 kb) on 18 genera and 286 coelotine species. The well resolved phylogeny of coelotine spiders promoted the new taxa erecting and taxonomic revisions (Chen et al. 2016b; Zhao and Li 2016; Li et al. 2018a, b). So far, there are 387 coelotine species (about 52% of the total) from 24 genera reported from China. However, in the karst regions of China, there are still many poorly known species with unusual characters which are not belonging to any known coelotine genera (World Spider Catalog 2018).

In this study, Z. Zhao & S. Li, gen. n. is proposed to include four new species. The new genus was confirmed by the phylogenetic framework of coelotine spiders (Zhao and Li 2017). The molecular topologies supported as a monophyletic group in Guangxi groups. The new species of are compared with those of the morphological similar genus Wang, Xu & Li, 2008. All specimens of were collected from karst regions in southern China.

Materials and methods

Specimens were examined with a LEICA M205C stereomicroscope. Photographs were captured with an Olympus C7070 wide zoom digital camera (7.1 megapixels) mounted either on an Olympus SZX12 dissecting microscope or on an Olympus BX51 compound microscope. Photos from multiple focal ranges were combined using Helicon Focus (Version 3.10) photo stacking software. Female epigyne and male palp were dissected form the body to be proper examined. The epigyne was removed and treated in a warmed 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution before study. Measurements were obtained with a LEICA M205C stereomicroscope and are given in millimeters. Eye diameters were measured as the maximum diameter from either dorsal or frontal views. Leg measurements are given as: total length (femur, patella + tibia, metatarsus, tarsus). Images of the male left palp are presented. Terminology of the structures follows Wang (2002), Chen et al. (2015b) and Zhang et al. (2016b).

Etymology.

The generic name is derived from the pinyin word “Gui”, referring to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Gui is a short name for Guangxi) where the genus is distributed, and “-lotes” as part of , which is similar to the new genus. The gender is masculine.

Diagnosis.

The males of the genus are similar to those of the genus by cymbial furrow long (Figs 1C, 3C, 5C) and embolus long and filiform (Figs 1B, 3B, 5B), but can be distinguished by the chelicerae with 5–6 promarginal and five retromarginal teeth; the presence of a patellar apophysis (Figure 1C) and conductor short not reaching the embolus base (Figure 1B). The females of the genus are similar to those of the genus by atrium oval and posterior (Figs 2A, 4A, 6A, 7A), hoods absent, copulatory ducts large, but can be distinguished by the chelicerae with 4–6 promarginal and 5–6 retromarginal teeth, the absence of a tongue-shaped atrial scape (Figure 2A), and the presence of two epigynal teeth (Figure 2A, absent in sp. n. (Figure 4A)).

Description.

Medium sized spiders, with total length 4.17–8.66. Carapace yellowish brown; cephalic area, labium, endites and sternum brown; chelicerae dark brown (Figs 2C–E, 4C–E, 6C–E, 7C–E). Abdomen gray with dark gray chevron stripes (Figs 2C–D, 4C–D, 6C–D, 7C). Spinnerets yellowish brown (Figs 2C–E, 4C–E, 6C–E, 7C–E). Legs yellowish brown with dark rings (Figs 2C–E, 4C–E, 6C–E, 7C–E). Chelicerae usually with 4–6 promarginal and 5–6 retromarginal teeth. Anterior lateral spinnerets larger than posterior median spinnerets but smaller than PageBreakPageBreakposterior lateral spinnerets; colulus slide-shaped; distal article of the spinneret longer than coxa. Leg formula 4123. Palp: patellar apophysis finger-shaped, RTA large and LTA small (Figs 1C, 3C, 5C). Cymbial furrow equal to (Figs 1C, 5C) or longer (Figure 3C) than 1/2 length of cymbium. Embolus long and filiform, beginning at 4 to 5 o’clock position (Figs 1B, 3B, 5B). Conductor short and broad with an outgrowth (Figs 1A, 3A, 5A) and a dorsal lamella (LC = lamella of conductor; Figs 1C, 3C, 5C). Median apophysis broad (Figs 1C, 5C) or thin, sharp and elongated (Figure 3C). Epigyne: with two teeth (Figs 2A, 6A, 7A, absent in sp. n. (Figure 4A)). Atrium oval and posterior (Figs 2A, 4A, 6A, 7A). Hoods absent. Copulatory openings centrally located (on corners of the atrium; Figs 2A, 4A, 6A, 7A). Copulatory duct expanded and sac-like (Figs 2B, 6B, 7B) or elongate and convoluted (Figure 4B). Spermathecae long, spermathecae heads long, stretched to the back (Figs 2B, 4B, 6B, 7B).

Natural history.

All species of this genus were collected from moist caves with soluble rock.

Comments.

The new genus was supported as monophyletic within the Guangxi group (Zhao and Li 2017: 993, figure 3 - see ZZ391, ZZ392, ZZ890, and ZZ892). Males and females of each species were collected from the same caves and double-checked using DNA barcoding.

The divergence time analyses showed the split of gen. n. and other close related clades early than 30 million years ago (Zhao and Li 2017: figure 3, S8). and are very similar in morphology and present similar distribution areas (Wang et al. 2008, Liu et al. 2010, Zhang et al. 2016b); thus, it is meaningful to distinguish between them.
