“…7), it has long remained ambiguous which species is the original Solenysa mellotteei described by Simon (1894). The type material of Solenysa mellotteei was not located (Tu and Li 2006), and the original description by Simon (1894) did not provide detailed information about the type locality. According to Ono (2011), the French diplomat A. Mellottée, who had spent only two years in Japan, stayed in the foreign settlement at Yokohama and collected spiders in the surrounding area.…”

“…For that reason, Ono (2011) inferred the type locality of Solenysa mellotteei should be Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. In the first review of the genus by Tu and Li (2006), the redescription of Solenysa mellotteei was based on a pair of specimens sent by a Japanese scholar and did not include any collecting data. In the phylogenetic revision of Solenysa (Tu and Hormiga 2011), the supplementary material of the same species did not come from the type locality, but from Esuzaki, Susami-cho, Wakayama Prefecture.…”

“…Other Solenysa species were described successively from other places in Japan, the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, and the Korean Peninsula (see review by Tu and Li 2006). In recent studies, several new species were sorted from the Solenysa collections deposited in the Department of Zoology, National Museum of Nature and Science (ex National Science Museum, Tokyo), Japan (Tu et al 2007, Tu and Hormiga 2011, Ono 2011).…”

“…Small in body size, similar in somatic features and genital morphology, it is difficult to distinguish them from each other without examining their genitalia in detail (Tu and Hormiga 2011). Consequently, all Solenysa spiders collected from the islands of Japan have long been identified as Solenysa mellotteei (Oi 1960, Yaginuma 1986, Irie and Saito 1987, Chikuni 1989, Lee et al 2004, Tu and Li 2006). Redescriptions for the species currently bearing the generotype name, Solenysa mellotteei , in reviews of Solenysa were not based on the type material (Tu and Li 2006, Tu and Hormiga 2011) and the species are different from those collected from the places more adjacent to the inferred type locality (Ono 2011).…”

It is necessary to make a review to distinguish the species of the Solenysa mellotteei group and to establish the identity of the generotype Solenysa mellotteei .…”

The present paper gives a review of Solenysa species from Japan and provides a solution for the species bearing the generotype name Solenysa mellotteei Simon, 1894. A total of six species are recorded, including two new species Solenysa macrodonta sp. n. and Solenysa trunciformis sp. n. The species collected from Kawasaki (NSMT-Ar 11154) and Hachioji should be the generotype Solenysa mellotteei, with Solenysa akihisai Tu, 2011, syn. n. as its junior synonym. To distinguish these congeneric species from each other, their genital characters are provided in detail based on images collected by scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy.

Higher‐level phylogenetics of linyphiid spiders (Araneae, Linyphiidae) based on morphological and molecular evidence

This study infers the higher-level cladistic relationships of linyphiid spiders from five genes (mitochondrial CO1, 16S; nuclear 28S, 18S, histone H3) and morphological data. In total, the character matrix includes 47 taxa: 35 linyphiids representing the currently used subfamilies of Linyphiidae (Stemonyphantinae, Mynogleninae, Erigoninae, and Linyphiinae (Micronetini plus Linyphiini)) and 12 outgroup species representing nine araneoid families (Pimoidae, Theridiidae, Nesticidae, Synotaxidae, Cyatholipidae, Mysmenidae, Theridiosomatidae, Tetragnathidae, and Araneidae). The morphological characters include those used in recent studies of linyphiid phylogenetics, covering both genitalic and somatic morphology. Different sequence alignments and analytical methods produce different cladistic hypotheses. Lack of congruence among different analyses is, in part, due to the shifting placement of Labulla, Pityohyphantes, Notholepthyphantes, and Pocobletus. Almost all combined analyses agree on the monophyly of linyphioids, Pimoidae, Linyphiidae, Erigoninae, Mynogleninae, as well as Stemonyphantes as a basal lineage within Linyphiidae. Our results suggest independent origins of the desmitracheate tracheal system in micronetines and erigonines, and that erigonines were primitively haplotracheate. Cephalothoracic glandular specializations of erigonines and mynoglenines apparently evolved independently. Subocular sulci of mynoglenines and lateral sulci (e.g. Bathyphantes) evolved independently but glandular pores in the prosoma proliferated once. The contribution of different character partitions and their sensitivity to changes in traditional analytical parameters is explored and quantified.

In this paper we carry out a taxonomic revision and phylogenetic analysis of the linyphiid spider genus Solenysa Simon, 1894. A total of 12 species is treated here, including five new species collected from China and Japan: Solenysa akihisai Tu sp. nov., Solenysa lanyuensis Tu sp. nov., Solenysa retractilis Tu sp. nov., Solenysa tianmushana Tu sp. nov., and Solenysa yangmingshana Tu sp. nov. Solenysa circularis Gao, Zhu & Sha, 1993 is a junior synonym of Solenysa protrudens Gao, Zhu & Sha, 1993. We have assembled two different character matrices to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of Solenysa. In the first matrix (Matrix 1), five representative species of Solenysa were added to the morphological dataset of Miller & Hormiga to test the monophyly of the genus and its placement within Linyphiidae. The genitalic structures and somatic morphology of Solenysa were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy for the first time. To infer the species-level phylogenetic relationships of Solenysa we produced a second matrix (Matrix 2) that includes all 12 Solenysa species and six outgroup species chosen from the results of the analysis of the first matrix. The two most parsimonious trees from the analysis of Matrix 1 support the monophyly of Solenysa and its placement within the 'Distal Erigonines' clade. The single most parsimonious tree resulting from the analysis of the second matrix suggests that the Solenysa clade includes four monophyletic groups, each group represented by a distinct genitalic pattern. The morphology of Solenysa, both somatic and genitalic, is highly autapomorphic.
