“…Male individuals appear to display abdominal patterns similar to their female counterparts (Figs. 25,26 & 29), a similar trait also observed in A. mangal (Tan et al 2016). Considering the close relationship between A. chloreis and A. chloreides, it is likely that the currently undescribed male specimen of A. chloreis would share a similar, virtually featureless abdominal pattern as females of the species.…”

“…The intra-and interspecific uncorrected p-distance of Argiope chloreis and A. chloreides is summarized in Table 3. The interspecific p-distances between these two species were much higher than their intraspecific p-distances based on 13 * GenBank sequences were based on Cheng & Kuntner (2014;, Tan et al (2016) and Tan (2018).…”

“…Currently available DNA sequences of other Argiope spp. from across the globe (Cheng & Kuntner 2014;Tan et al 2016;Tan 2018) were included for comparison (Table 1) while DNA sequences of doubtful identity were omitted. The genera Gea C. L. Koch 1843 and Neogea Levi 1983 were incorporated to fully represent the subfamily of Argiopinae in these analyses.…”

“…Uncorrected pairwise genetic distances were estimated using PAUP 4.0b10 (Swofford 2003) to allow genetic comparisons between different species of Argiope. Genetic distance matrices were computed for each individual marker as well as the COI+COII, COI+COII+H3A and 16S+COI+-COII+H3A+18S datasets.…”

“…Jäger (2012) has further introduced the use of broken emboli in female specimens as a useful method in Argiope species identification. These notable works have facilitated numerous research studies on this genus, including species descriptions and synonymies, molecular and biogeographic analyses (Cheng et al 2009;Cheng & Kuntner 2014;Tan et al 2016;Agnarsson et al 2016;Tan 2018).…”

The two green-bodied Argiope chloreis Thorell 1877 and A. chloreides Chrysanthus 1961 from Southeast Asia were shown to be distinct species on the basis of morphological and multi-gene data analyses. The two species recorded interspecific uncorrected p-distances of 7.87−8.83% and 8.21−9.18% based on COI and COII datasets, respectively. Individuals of A. chloreis from Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia are considered to be conspecific based on the relatively low intraspecific p-distance as well as similarities in their epigynal structure. Phylogenetic analysis of the COI+COII+H3A dataset has demonstrated that A. chloreis and A. chloreides are sister to each other, and related to A. aemula (Walckenaer 1841) and A. anasuja Thorell 1877. The morphological and genetic characteristics of male A. chloreides were described for the first time.
