Abstract

Five new genera of the spider family Ochyroceratidae with remarkable palpal and epigynal characters are described: Luzonacera Li & Li, gen. nov., Qiongocera Li & Li, gen. nov., Relictocera Li & Li, gen. nov., Sinoderces Li & Li, gen. nov., and Thaiderces Li & Li,gen. nov. Six new species are described based on specimens collected in China, Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand: Luzonacera chang Li & Li, sp. nov., Luzonacera duanLi & Li, sp. nov.,Qiongocera hongjunensisLi & Li, sp. nov., Relictocera qiyiLi & Li, sp. nov., Sinoderces nawanensisLi & Li, sp. nov., and Thaiderces jianLi & Li, sp. nov. In addition, two Psiloderces species are transferred to other genera: Sinoderces exilis (Wang & Li, 2013) comb. nov. and Thaiderces vulgaris (Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995) comb. nov. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZCAS) in Beijing.
