“…Differences in speciation rates, population size and sampling bias may cause over‐ or underestimation of the number of species (Pentinsaari et al, 2017; Renner et al, 2017; Talavera et al, 2013). The multi‐locus method of BPP has been shown to be more reliable than single‐locus methods for species delimitation (Leaché et al, 2016; Xu et al, 2022; Yang & Rannala, 2010) and usually better reflects observations of morphological divergence (Lin et al, 2018; Yang & Rannala, 2017). Nevertheless, some authors have cast doubt on the ability of multispecies coalescent‐based methods such as BPP to delimit species consistently (Leaché et al, 2019; Sukumaran & Knowles, 2017).…”

The genus Chanohirata Hayashi & Machida, including the herein synonymized monotypic genus Reticuluma Cheng & Li, is the second most speciose genus in the tribe Penthimiini after Penthimia Germar and is almost exclusively endemic to China. This study presents the first phylogeny of Chanohirata based on three mitochondrial markers (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and II and 16S ribosomal RNA) and one nuclear fragment (28S ribosomal RNA). Reticuluma syn. n. is recovered nested within Chanohirata with strong support. Reticuluma is, therefore, proposed as a junior synonym of Chanohirata, and a new combination is proposed: Chanohirata citrana (Cheng & Li) comb. n. Molecular species delimitation analyses were conducted by combining six molecular delimitation methods with morphological evidence. The results of the species delimitation analyses confirm the status of eight described species of Chanohirata and support the recognition of three new species: Chanohirata cornicula Wang & Zhang sp. n., Chanohirata elongata Wang & Zhang sp. n. and Chanohirata serrata Wang & Zhang sp. n. Molecular dating and biogeographic analyses suggest that Chanohirata likely originated during the late Eocene in southern China. During the late Miocene to early Pleistocene, the uplift of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau and climatic oscillations probably triggered several dispersal and vicariance events in Chanohirata lineages, leading to most speciation events.

“…A partial fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (CO1) gene was amplified and sequenced for one male and one female specimen, respectively, using the primers LCOI1490 (5’-GGTCAACAAATCATAAAGATATTG-3’) and HCOI2198 (5’-TAAACTTCAGGGTGACCAAAAAAT-3’) ( Folmer et al 1994 ). For additional information on extraction, amplification and sequencing procedures, see Xu et al (2022) . Sequences were trimmed to 652 bp.…”

Tmarus Simon, 1875 is a relatively large spider genus, currently includes 227 species distributed worldwide. Fanjing Mountain Nature Reserve is one of China’s most biodiverse regions. However, Tmarus can be regarded as being poorly represented in Fanjing Mountain, with only one species having been recorded so far: T. fanjing Yang & Yu, 2022. Recently, various expeditions to Fanjing Mountain Nature Reserve were carried out by the authors. In this paper, two Tmarus species were brought to light by those expeditions: T. fanjing Yang & Yu, 2022 and T. circinalis Song & Chai, 1990. T. fanjing is redescribed, based on new material and the female is described and illustrated for the first time. The supplementary micrographs of T. circinalis are given for the first time. The DNA barcodes and a distribution map of both species are provided for future use.
