Theridium yunohamense Bösenberg &amp; Strand, 1906</p><p>Diagnosis. Yunohamella species resemble those of Takayus Yoshida, 2001, both with a large tegulum that covers most of the palp in retrolateral view, relatively small and globular theridiid tegular apophysis, and no distinct groove or boundary between the surfaces of the conductor and tegulum ( Yunohamella: Figs 2, 4A–F; Yoshida 2003, figs 235, 238, 242; Takayus: Yoshida 2003, figs 225, 229, 232). However, Yunohamella can be distinguished from Takayus by the following characteristics: generally dark and cryptic body coloration (Fig. 1B–I; Yoshida 2003, figs 572, 573) (vs bright yellowish to orangish in Takayus) (Yoshida 2003, figs 569–571); wavy cardiac pattern on the dorsum of the abdomen (Fig. 1; Yoshida 2003, figs 572, 573) (vs feather-like flecks in Takayus) (Yoshida 2003, figs 569–571); females with highly variable epigynal morphology among species, with the type species Y. yunohamensis bearing a large angular scape, while others lack a scape or possess a pair of semicircular epigynal processes (Figs 3, 4G, I; Yoshida 2003, figs 233, 236, 239) (vs relatively uniform epigynal morphology in Takayus, with a small triangular scape on the posterior margin of the epigynal plate) (Yoshida 2003, figs 222, 227); males with palps bearing a thinner and more slender embolus (Figs 2B, E, 3B, E; Yoshida 2003, figs 235, 238, 241) (vs thicker embolus in Takayus) (Yoshida 2003, figs 224, 229, 232); and a relatively slender conductor with shape varying among species, branching, twisted or spatulate (Figs 2, 4A–F; Yoshida 2003, figs 235, 238, 241) (vs conductor relatively broad, short, and blunt in Takayus) (Yoshida 2003, figs 224, 229, 232).</p><p>Additionally, both genera differ in microhabitat preference: Takayus spiders typically build tangle webs under leaves or among branches of shrubs, whereas Yunohamella species inhabit shaded, moist, and cryptic environments such as rocky precipices along streams and waterfalls or the surfaces of tree trunks (Yoshida 2007).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/057387FDFF84FFB0B7D4FA3BFB29FE62	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Abdomen 2.00 long, 1.99 wide.</p><p>Coloration and markings (Fig. 1C, G–H). Same as the male, slightly brighter. Genitalia (Figs 3A–C, 4D, E): epigyne with oval atrium; pair of semicircular, pigmented, sclerotized epigynal processes positioned anterolaterally on epigynal plate; copulatory openings located laterally on epigynal processes; copulatory ducts convoluted with tight loops, entering spermathecae at an angle nearly parallel to orientation of basal portion of the fertilization ducts; spermathecae spherical; fertilization ducts arising posteriorly from spermathecae, with simple curve and pointed tip.</p><p>Variations. Some female specimens collected in Saga and Oita, Kyushu, Japan, had darker markings on the cephalic region and dark annulations on the middle part of the femur of legs, as well as darker abdomen compared with those of the type specimen and specimens from other regions (Fig. 5C).</p><p>Remarks. Zhong et al. (2025) treated Yunohamella mneon as a junior synonym of Y. lyrica, based on the redescription made by Dupérré (2023), citing the similarity in the epigynal morphology. However, we argue that the type specimen of Y. mneon can be clearly distinguished from Y. lyrica based on several morphological features. Yunohamella mneon has a dark marking anteriorly to the fovea of the carapace, and mottled lateral margins, the blackish annulations on the middle portion of the leg segment are absent (Fig. 1A; Bösenberg &amp; Strand 1906, fig. 286; Dupèrrè 2003, fig. 73A), and has internal genitalia with more convoluted copulatory ducts with tight loops (Dupèrrè 2003, fig. 73B, C). On the other hand, females of Y. lyrica possess uniformly reddish-brown carapace, legs with dark brown annulations on both terminals and middle region of each segment, and relatively short and less convoluted copulatory ducts (Figs 1D, E, I, 3E, F, 4J).</p><p>The type locality of Y. mneon is assumed to be Kinryu-cho, Saga Pref., where Kompira (Kotohira) Shrine is located (Ichiba 1975, fig. 6). Additional specimens were collected from Kosegawa-choseichi balancing reservoir, only 4 km south from Kompira Shrine (Fig. 6C). These specimens showed consistency in key morphological characters with the type specimen illustrated by Bösenberg &amp; Strand (1906), with some intraspecific variations in coloration and markings, as described above.</p><p>In the molecular phylogeny (Fig. 7), specimens of Y. mneon in both Japan and Korea formed a monophyletic group with high support values, and the p-distances between specimens in Korea and Japan varied between 0.0018 and 0.0091. Judging from both morphological comparison and molecular phylogenetic analysis among numerous Japanese and Korean specimens of Yunohamella species, males identified as Yunohamella varietas are well-grouped with the females of Yunohamella mneon (Fig. 7). Therefore, they are considered conspecific, and Y. mneon should be treated as a senior synonym of Y. varietas syn . nov.</p><p>Natural History. In Japan, Y. mneon has primarily been found in grasslands on riverbeds and lakeshores, where it was observed constructing a tangle web between grasses near the ground. In the Republic of Korea, Y. mneon was collected from paddy fields and forest plantations (Lee &amp; Kim 2021; this study). In contrast, Y. lyrica and other Yunohamella species are typically associated with shaded, moist forest or cliffs and rocky walls along mountainous streams, and tree trunks (Yoshida 1987, 2003). These observations suggest that Y. mneon prefers open landscapes, in contrast to at least some of its congeners.</p><p>Distribution.

Males of Y. lyrica can be distinguished from congeners by the twisted, flame-like, distally sharper tip of conductor (Fig. 2D–F) (vs in other Yunohamella species, tip of conductor is blunt or truncated, bifurcated or quadrifurcated) (blunt or truncated: e.g., Marusik &amp; Tsellarius 1986, fig. 2; Esyunin &amp; Efimik 1996, figs 1, 2; Yoshida 2003, fig. 238; Yoshida 2012, fig. 7; Zhong et al. 2025, fig. 4C); (bifurcated: e.g., Gao &amp; Li 2014, figs 107–109; Zhong et al. 2025, figs 2C, 5C); (quadrifurcated: e.g., Yoshida 2003, fig. 235). Females of Y. lyrica closely resemble those of Y. mneon stat. rev. in the shape of the epigyne, as both have a pair of semicircular sclerotized epigynal processes and a broad atrium, but can be distinguished by the uniformly reddish-brown carapace; legs with dark brown annulations on both the terminal and middle regions of each segment; a dark reddish-brown abdomen bearing a diamond-shaped whitish marking with pink spots; a pair of large blackish markings on the anterior side of the abdomen; and copulatory ducts that are relatively short compared to the width of the spermathecae and less convoluted (Figs 1E, 3D–F, 4, I, J).</p><p>Description.

Platnickina adamsoni is commonly found in tropical America, and widespread across the world including Asia (Yoshida 2003; World Spider Catalog 2025). Although the general appearance of P. adamsoni resembles Y. mneon, they can clearly be distinguished by the genital morphology (Figs 2A–F, 3A–F, 4A–J vs 8C–E). Moreover, P. adamsoni usually display synanthropic habits, inhabiting walls of buildings, gardens and yards (Fig. 8A, B; Yoshida 2003).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/057387FDFF8AFFBEB7D4FF0AFE4BFE8E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
