The spider genus Plator Simon (1880) is a small and little-known group in the spider family Trochanteriidae. Species of Plator are called flat-spiders in Chinese for the extremely flat habitus (Zhu & Wang 1963). Up to now, 11 Plator species have been recorded from India, China, Korea and Japan. Six of them, P. insolens Simon (1880), P. pandeae Tikader (1969), P. pennatus Platnick (1976), P. sinicus Zhu & Wang (1963), P. yunlong Zhu et al. (2006) and P. bowo Zhu et al. (2006) are reported from China (World Spider Catalog 2016). Zhu et al. (2006) suggested two species groups for at least all Chinese Plator species, the P. insolens group and the P. pennatus group. The former can be recognized by the absence of RTA of male pedipalp, and the narrow first windings of the copulatory duct system of female epigyne and the latter, distinguished by the presence of RTA and the broad first windings of the copulatory duct system.
板蛛属（Plator Simon，1880）是板蛛科中一个鲜为人知的小类群。在中国，板蛛属物种因其极为扁平的体型而被称为扁蛛（朱传典和汪广昭，1963）。截至目前，印度、中国、韩国和日本共记录有11种板蛛。其中6种，即奇异板蛛（Plator insolens Simon，1880）、潘氏板蛛（P. pandeae Tikader，1969）、羽状板蛛（P. pennatus Platnick，1976）、中华板蛛（P. sinicus Zhu & Wang，1963）、云龙板蛛（P. yunlong Zhu et al.，2006）和波沃板蛛（P. bowo Zhu et al.，2006）在中国有报道（世界蜘蛛名录，2016）。朱传典等人（2006）提出至少所有中国板蛛物种可分为两个类群，即奇异板蛛类群和羽状板蛛类群。前者的特征是雄蛛触肢器无胫节突，雌蛛外雌器交媾管系统的起始盘绕狭窄；后者的特征是有胫节突，交媾管系统的起始盘绕宽阔。
