Eight cobweb spider species building a detritus-based, bell-shaped retreat from China are reported in the current paper, including five new species and three known species: Li & Liu, , Li & Liu, , Li & Liu, , Li & Liu, , Li & Liu, , (Chen, 1993), (Bösenberg & Strand, 1906), and (Zhu, 1998). Among them, the male of (Zhu, 1998) is described for the first time. We provide photographs of all species and descriptions for new species in the current paper. The type of bell-shaped retreat is rare in theridiid, and found only in four related genera. A natural next step upon completing this taxonomic study would be to analyse and understand the evolution of the retreat and related traits.
本文报道了来自中国的8种构建以碎屑为基础的钟形隐居处的圆蛛物种,包括5个新物种和3个已知物种:李&刘, ,李&刘, ,李&刘, ,李&刘, ,李&刘, ,(陈,1993年), (博森贝格&施特兰德,1906年),以及 (朱,1998年)。其中,(朱,1998年)的雄性首次被描述。我们在本文中提供了所有物种的照片和新物种的描述。钟形隐居处的类型在球蛛科中很罕见,仅在四个相关属中发现。完成这项分类学研究后的自然下一步将是分析和理解隐居处及相关特征的进化。
