The spider genus Desis Walckenaer, 1837 is the type genus of the spider family Desidae Pocock, 1895. Desis spiders hide in silk sacs between rocks or shells during high tide and forage during low tide (Baehr et al. 2017). Four Desis species have been recorded from Asia: Desis gardineri Pocock, 1904 (India), Desis inermis Gravely, 1927 (India), Desis japonica Yaginuma, 1956 (Japan) and Desis martensi L. Koch, 1872 (Malaysia) (World Spider Catalog 2020). Until now, only one species of the family Desidae, Badumna tangae Zhu, Zhang Yang, 2006, has been reported from China (Zhu et al. 2006). Here, we describe a new species of Desis and report the genus from China for the first time.
蜘蛛属德西斯(Desis Walckenaer,1837年)是蜘蛛科德西蛛科(Desidae Pocock,1895年)的模式属。德西斯蜘蛛在涨潮时躲在岩石或贝壳之间的丝囊中,在退潮时觅食(Baehr等人,2017年)。亚洲已记录有四种德西斯蜘蛛:加德纳氏德西斯(Desis gardineri Pocock,1904年,印度)、无刺德西斯(Desis inermis Gravely,1927年,印度)、日本德西斯(Desis japonica Yaginuma,1956年,日本)和马滕氏德西斯(Desis martensi L. Koch,1872年,马来西亚)(《世界蜘蛛名录》,2020年)。到目前为止,中国仅报道过一种德西蛛科蜘蛛,即邓氏巴杜蛛(Badumna tangae Zhu、Zhang Yang,2006年)(Zhu等人,2006年)。在此,我们描述一种新的德西斯蜘蛛,并首次报道该属在中国的存在。
