4F3F5182DED7567F80EC075F0E84E938.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The genus name is derived from a Latin word “ mutatio ”, meaning “ variable ”, referring to the unique combination of characters in this new genus. Unlike the similar genera Lingulatus, which possesses only a tegular sheet, and Xilithus, which features only prolateral tegular apophysis, the new genus exhibits both characteristics in the male palp. Gender masculine.	en	Mu, Yannan, Wang, Luyu, Zhang, Feng, Zhang, Zhisheng (2025): Mutatus gen. nov., a new genus of Phrurolithidae (Arachnida, Araneae) from China, with descriptions of four new species.

4F3F5182DED7567F80EC075F0E84E938.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of new genus resembles those of the genera Lingulatus and Xilithus in having both tegular sheet and prolateral tegular apophysis, but Mutatus can be differentiated by the absence of a ventral tibial apophysis (present both in Lingulatus and Xilithus), tegular sheet present in both Mutatus gen. nov. and Lingulatus (absent in Xilithus), and sperm duct V-shaped in both Mutatus gen. nov. and Lingulatus (U-shaped in Xilithus). The female of new genus resembles Xilithus in having a pair of large concavities (atria), a pair of small bursae, and clavate spermathecae, but it can be differentiated by the presence of a protuberance at the middle part of the lateral margin of the atrium (absent in Xilithus).	en	Mu, Yannan, Wang, Luyu, Zhang, Feng, Zhang, Zhisheng (2025): Mutatus gen. nov., a new genus of Phrurolithidae (Arachnida, Araneae) from China, with descriptions of four new species.
