Paratype: 1♀ (QZMS05427), with the same data as for holotype .</p><p>Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Chinese Pinyin tán fēi (meaning “missing”), referring to the strange experience encountered during the identification of this species.</p><p>Diagnosis. The male of Lysiteles tanfei sp. nov. is characterized by its branched RTA in combination with the screwed distal embolus. It differs from the similar L. bicuspidatus Yu, Li &amp; Jin, 2017 (cf. Figs 5A–C and figs 3–6, 10–12 in Yu et al. 2017) in: 1. VTA straight and almost as long as RTA in lateral view, wider than embolus in ventral view (vs. curved and longer than RTA in lateral view, almost as wide as embolus in L. bicuspidatus); and 2. VTA ventrally with bunch of setae (vs. seta absent in L. bicuspidatus). From the also similar L. ambrosii Ono, 2001 (cf. Figs 5A–C and figs 29, 30 in Ono 2001, figs 47, 48 in Tang et al. 2007), it can be distinguished by the ventral branch of RTA larger than dorsal branch of RTA (vs. ventral branch of RTA smaller than dorsal branch of RTA in L. ambrosii).</p><p>The female of Lysiteles tanfei sp. nov. is characterized by its spherical internal genitalia. It differs from the similar L. uniprocessus Tang, Yin, Peng, Ubick &amp; Griswold, 2008 (cf.

Carapace with two black lines from PLEs to median part. Metatarsus and tarsus of legs I and II brown. Dorsal opisthosoma with two red markings and six black patches, ventral opisthosoma laterally with two black spots.</p><p>Female: Total length 3.47.

Paratypes: 2♂, 2♀ (QZMS05459–05462), with the same data as for holotype .</p><p>Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin ungula (meaning “claw”), referring to the claw-shaped tibia in basal-retrolateral view; adjective.</p><p>Diagnosis. Tmarus ungulatus sp. nov. belongs to the stellio group (Logunov 1992), which is characterized by the following morphological characteristics: male palp with a stout embolus arising from tegulum at 12 o’clock position, palpal tibia with conical RTA in dorsal position (= DTA in Logunov 1992 and Ono 1988) and epigyne with short and simple copulatory ducts in parallel run. Within the eastern Asian species of the stellio group, Tmarus ungulatus sp. nov. resembles T. makiharai Ono, 1988 (cf. Fig. 5 and figs 109–111 in Ono 2009, figs 3B, C in Tanikawa 2024), but males can be distinguished by: 1. tibia with three apophysis (vs. four in T. makiharai); and 2. embolus straight (vs. slightly curved to 3-shaped in T. makiharai), females can be distinguished by: 1. epigyne with two low hoods half-covering copulatory openings (vs. without hood in T. makiharai); and 2. copulatory ducts almost 2/3 the width of spermathecae (vs. almost half the wide of spermathecae in T. makiharai).</p><p>Tmarus ungulatus sp. nov. also resembles T. taishanensis Zhu &amp; Wen, 1981 (cf. Fig. 5 and figs 21, 22, 24, 25 in Danilov 1993), but males can be distinguished by: 1. VTA broader than embolus (vs. almost as thin as embolus in T. taishanensis); and 2. RTA pointing dorsally retorlaterad (vs. pointing anteriad in T. taishanensis), female can be recognized by: 1. epigyne without atrium (vs. with an atrium in T. taishanensis); and 2. copulatory ducts almost 2/3 the width of spermathecae (vs. thinner than half the width of spermathecae in T. taishanensis).</p><p>Description.
