Asianopis zhuanghaoyuni Lin &amp; Li, 2020, from China (Fujian Province).</p><p>Notes. When describing the genus, Lin et al. (2020b) initially divided all Asian species into two groups: the liukuensis -group containing two species ( A. dumogae (Merian, 1911) and A. liukuensis), and the zhuanghaoyuni - group comprising five species ( A. celebensis (Merian, 1911), A. konplong (Logunov, 2018), A. wangi Lin &amp; Li, 2020, A. wuchaoi Lin &amp; Li, 2020, and A. zhuanghaoyuni Lin &amp; Li, 2020). Later, another species, A. goalparaensis (Tikader &amp; Malhotra, 1978), from India and Nepal was added to the liukuensis -group (Basumatary et al. 2020), while A. gorochovi Fomichev &amp; Omelko, 2023, from Sumatra, was added to the zhuanghaoyuni -group (Fomichev et Omelko 2023). Several Asian species remain unassigned to either of these known groups. Asianopis aruensis (Roewer, 1938) from Indonesia exhibits features of both groups (“epigyne with an anchor-shaped median plate, distinct copulatory openings, and a copulatory duct with 10 coils”); therefore, Lin et al. (2020a) did not assign it to any group. Two more species, A. fasciculiger and A. kollari, whose copulatory organs are not illustrated, cannot be assigned to any group until they are redescribed. Additionally, two species from the Philippines, A. labangan (Barrion-Dupo &amp; Barrion, 2018) and A. luzonensis (Barrion-Dupo &amp; Barrion, 2018), known only from schematic black-and-white illustrations of habitus and copulatory organs, also cannot be reliably assigned to existing species groups (see also notes section for A. naumenkoi sp. nov.). Chamberland et al. (2022) transferred twenty non-Asian species (from Africa, the New World, New Guinea, and Australia) from Deinopis to Asianopis, without assigning them to any existing species groups.</p><p>All Asian species of Asianopis, except A. liukuensis, are local endemics and known mostly from single records. Asianopis liukuensis is the only species with a wide distribution, ranging from India to Borneo (WSC 2024 and new data).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AA5287B1A9375B18FF69D0D9FF3EF819	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

HOLOTYPE ♂ (ZMMU), MALAYSIA: Borneo, Sabah Prov., <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=116.1&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=5.4" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 116.1/lat 5.4)">Crocker Mts</a>, 5°24’N 116°6’E, on grass, 1050 m., 9.02.1993 (A.M. Emelyanov).</p><p>Etymology. The specific name is a patronym in honour of Yejie Lin (Beijing, China), well-known Chinese arachnologist, one of the authors who established Asianopis and described several new species in it.</p><p>Comments. Although several species of Asianopis known only from females occur in Southeast Asia, we consider that A. lini sp. nov. cannot be conspecific with any of them, as the ranges of all known species in the genus, except for A. liukuensis, are local, and none of these species occur in Borneo.</p><p>Diagnosis. By the structure of the palp (shape of median apophysis and presence of embolic terminal apophysis) the new species is similar to A. wuchaoi (China, Yunnan Prov.) and A. gorochovi (Indonesia, Sumatra Is.). The male of A. lini sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from that of A. wuchaoi by carapace lacking lateral bands (vs. with distinct bands; cf. Fig. 1 and Lin et al. 2020b: fig. 13C), significantly longer carapace length (5.32 vs. 4.0) and the strongly curved embolic terminal apophysis ( ETA) (vs. straight; cf. Fig. 34 and Lin et al. 2020b: fig. 21B). From A. gorochovi it can be differed by the light brown body color (vs. dark gray; cf. Figs 1–2 and 3–4), cephalic part the same color as thoracic part (vs. contrasting white; cf. Figs 1 and 3) and by embolus originates at ca. 1 o’clock and ending at 12 (vs. 6 and 4 o’clock, correspondingly; cf. Fig. 22 and 25).</p><p>Description. Male. Total length 16.95. Carapace: 5.32 long, 4.04 wide. Abdomen: 12.14 long, 2.76 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances:AME 0.19,ALE 0.33, PME 0.60, PLE 0.32, AME–AME 0.29, AME–ALE 0.97, PME–PME 0.21, PME–PLE 0.75, AME–PME 0.21. Palp measurements: 7.58 (3.73, 0.99, 1.26, -, 1.60). Leg measurements: I: 70.58 (17.32, 2.45, 20.32, 24.54, 5.95). II: 50.18 (14.92, 2.60, 14.39, 12.48, 5.79). III: 30.08 (10.06, 1.83, 8.22, 8.37, 1.60). IV: 30.4 (9.56, 1.93, 8.84, 8.65, 1.42).</p><p>Coloration. Clypeus yellow. Areas around AME, ALE, PLE covered with sparse whitish setae. Chelicerae yellow with gray lateral sides, 3 pro-, 1 retrolateral teeth and number of retrolateral denticles. Carapace light brown with poorly visible median band, lateral bands absent. Sternum yellow with couple of black dots on lateral edges. Labium and endites yellow.</p><p>Palpal femur, patella and tibia yellow, cymbium brown. Legs coloration. Coxae grayish ventrally, yellow laterally; femora yellow; patellae and tibiae yellow; metatarsi I–II light brown, III–IV yellow; tarsi I–II brown proximally and yellow distally, III–IV yellow.</p><p>Abdomen light yellow dorsally, with brown longitudinal stripe. Sides of abdomen yellow. Ventral part of abdomen light yellow with dark gray areas around epigastric fold, in front of spinnerets and with couple of small black dots medially. Spinnerets brown.</p><p>Male palp as shown in Figs 21–23, 30, 34. Femur twice as long as cymbium, length/width ratio ca. 2.52. Patella 1.4 times shorter than tibia. Tibia 2.7 times shorter than femur. Cymbium 1.3 times longer than tibia. Cymbial length/width ratio 1.1. Tegulum and sperm duct completely hidden behind embolic coils. Centrally located median apophysis (MA) consists of two lobes: proximal (PL) and distal (DL). Proximal lobe reverse comma-shaped, situated along the longitudinal axis of bulb. Distal lobe almost diagonal to PL. Embolus (Em) long, its coils cover whole tegulum except for its central part, originates at 1 o’clock, coiling ca 1440° around MA and ending at 12 o’clock. Distal part of embolus with curved terminal apophysis ( ETA), tip of embolus widened.</p><p>Female unknown.</p><p>Notes. Judging by the structures of the male palp (tegulum partly obscured by embolic coils; embolus long and strongly coiled around median apophysis more than 1400°, widened subapically; median apophysis with two lobes) Asianopis lini sp. nov. belongs to zhuanghaoyuni -group. Thus, this group now consists of seven species: A. celebensis, A. gorochovi, A. konplong, A. lini sp. nov., A. wangi, A. wuchaoi and A. zhuanghaoyuni .</p><p>Distribution.

Currently, two species of Asianopis are known from the Philippines: A. labangan and A. luzonensis (Mindanao and Luzon, respectively). Both of these species are known only from the original descriptions (Barrion-Dupo &amp; Barrion 2018) by females. Unfortunately, a precise comparison between the species previously known from Philippines and the newly described Asianopis naumenkoi sp. nov. and A. apo sp. nov. is difficult because the original description is accompanied by only very schematic black-and-white illustrations, and for A. luzonensis, the internal structures of the epigyne are not illustrated. We sent photographs of our new Asianopis species to Mrs. Barrion-Dupo for comparison with the types of A. labangan and A. luzonensis, and received a response stating, ‘…these may be different…’, but unfortunately, extensive searches for the types in the museum collection were unsuccessful. It is important to note that A. naumenkoi sp. nov. and A. apo sp. nov. were found far from the type localities of A. labangan and A. luzonensis . The type locality of A. apo sp. nov. and the locality of A. labangan differ in elevation, with the former occurring in high-altitude areas and the latter in low-altitude areas. The distance between the type locality of A. naumenkoi sp. nov. and A. luzonensis is about 170 kilometers, with the species found in isolated mountain ranges. Given these geographical differences, as well as the morphological distinctions indicated in the diagnoses, we believe that A. naumenkoi sp. nov. and A. apo sp. nov. are distinct species, and the likelihood that they are junior synonyms of known Philippine species is very low.</p><p>Distribution.
