Abstract

Four new species of the genus Camptoscaphiella Caporiacco, 1934 are described from Xizang, China, i.e., C.metok Tong & Li, sp. nov. (♂), C.shannan Tong & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀), C.trifoliata Tong & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀) and C.zayu Tong & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀). Morphological descriptions, photographic illustrations and a distribution map of the four new species are given.

Introduction

The family Oonopidae is one of the most diverse spider families worldwide, comprising 115 extant genera and 1952 species, and 3 fossil genera and 45 species (WSC 2024). Camptoscaphiella Caporiacco, 1934 is a small genus, distributed mainly in montane tropical and subtropical regions in Asia, mostly within the Himalayan Plateau (WSC 2024). Baehr and Ubick (2010) revised this genus, with two species re-described and nine new species described from China, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand, and a key to the known 15 species provided. Two other species were later recorded in the Pacific Island of New Caledonia (Baehr and Harvey 2013) and five species were documented from Yunnan, China (Huang et al. 2021; Wang et al. 2023). Altogether, 23 species have been recorded in the world (WSC 2024).

Up to now, seven species belonging to three genera of oonopid spiders have been recorded in Xizang of China (Cheng et al. 2021; Tong et al. 2023). Although there are no records of the genus Camptoscaphiella from Xizang, many species have been described from the adjacent areas, including one from Bhutan, three from India, seven from Nepal, and eight from Yunnan Province of China (Tong and Li 2007; Baehr and Ubick 2010; Huang et al. 2021; Wang et al. 2023).

In this paper, Camptoscaphiella is recorded for the first time from Xizang and four new species of the genus are described and photographed.

Materials and methods

The specimens were examined using a Leica M205C stereomicroscope. Details were studied under an Olympus BX51 compound microscope. Photos were captured with a Canon EOS 550D zoom digital camera (18 megapixels) mounted on an Olympus BX51 compound microscope. Endogynes were cleared in lactic acid. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken under high vacuum with a Hitachi S-4800 after critical-point drying and gold-palladium coating. All measurements were taken using an Olympus BX51 compound microscope and are in millimeters. The type material is deposited at the Shenyang Normal University (SYNU) in Shenyang, China.

The following abbreviations are used in the text and figures: ALE = anterior lateral eyes; ap = apodemes; as = anterior sclerite; cd = copulatory duct; dp = dorsal process; mp = median plate; mpr = median process; np = narrow process; PLE = posterior lateral eyes; PME = posterior median eyes; pro = prolateral outgrowth; rlf = retrolateral fold; tfp = trifurcate process; tls = thread-like structure; vo = ventral outgrowth; vp = ventral process; wlo = wing-like outgrowth.

Taxonomy

Family Oonopidae Simon, 1890

Genus. Camptoscaphiella

Caporiacco, 1934

2ED1307A-BD55-5620-BA97-EE67EFFA5F76

Type species.

Camptoscaphiellafulva Caporiacco, 1934, by monotypy.

Diagnosis.

Males of this genus are similar to those of Opopaea Simon, 1892 in the extremely large, club-shaped palpal patella, but can be distinguished by the spination of the legs I–II (tibia I and II with four pairs of long spines, and metatarsus I and II with two pairs of long spines) vs. without spination; the cymbium not fused with the bulb vs. fused; and the reduced abdominal scuta vs. complete scuta. Females of this genus are similar to those of Ischnothyreus Simon, 1893, but can be separated by lacking the distinct, darkly sclerotized, strongly winding duct of endogyne and the uniquely shaped atrium.

Distribution.

China (Xizang, Yunnan), South Asia (Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka), Southeast Asia (Thailand) and New Caledonia.

Diagnosis.

Males of this new species are similar to those of C.yujufeng Tong & Yang, 2023, but can be distinguished by lacking a cluster of black, strong setae on the labium (Fig. 6D) vs. setae cluster present (Wang et al. 2023: fig. 5D) and psemblous with trifurcate process (tfp, Fig. 7D, K) vs. with semicircular, prolateral rim and trifurcate ventral process (Wang et al. 2023: fig. 6E, J). Females of the new species are similar to those of C.zayu sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the fusiform median plate (Fig. 8H) vs. pear-shaped (Fig. 11H) and the long copulatory duct, which extends beyond the postgastric scutum (Fig. 8I) vs. just reaching groove between posterior spiracles (Fig. 11I).
