03FD87FE6156FFA4FF32FA33CAC23142.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Neriene variegata Blackwall, 1841	en	Zhai, Hui, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2008): Two new species of the spider genus Poeciloneta Kulczyn'ski, 1894 (Araneae: Linyphiidae) from China. Zootaxa 1850: 61-64, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.183397
03FD87FE6156FFA4FF32FA33CAC23142.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Poeciloneta is similar to Lepthyphantes Menge, 1866 from which it is distinguished by having a very long and narrow lamella characteristica, which is usually split into several parallel, spine-shaped branches. Poeciloneta females are distinguished by its pseudoscape and the spinulated metatarsi.	en	Zhai, Hui, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2008): Two new species of the spider genus Poeciloneta Kulczyn'ski, 1894 (Araneae: Linyphiidae) from China.

03FD87FE6156FFA5FF32F8A0CB643250.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality.	en	Zhai, Hui, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2008): Two new species of the spider genus Poeciloneta Kulczyn'ski, 1894 (Araneae: Linyphiidae) from China. Zootaxa 1850: 61-64, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.183397
03FD87FE6156FFA5FF32F8A0CB643250.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is similar to P. theridiformis (Emerton, 1911). The male can be distinguished from other species in the genus by the shape of lamella characteristica, which is long, almost parallel with radix, split into four apical branches, the distal part turned abruptly. The female can be distinguished by the obviously broader basal part of pseudoscape and the longer stretcher.	en	Zhai, Hui, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2008): Two new species of the spider genus Poeciloneta Kulczyn'ski, 1894 (Araneae: Linyphiidae) from China.

03FD87FE6154FFA6FF32FF4FCB643233.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name is from Latin ancora and refers to the anchor-shape pseudoscape.	en	Zhai, Hui, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2008): Two new species of the spider genus Poeciloneta Kulczyn'ski, 1894 (Araneae: Linyphiidae) from China.

03FD87FE6154FFA6FF32FF4FCB643233.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is close to P. variegata (Blackwall, 1841). The male can be distinguished from other species in the genus by the bifid proximal cymbium apophysis and the lamella characteristica with three long and narrow apical branches, one of them membranous. The female can be diagnosed by the anchor-shaped pseudoscape; the long and narrow stretcher.	en	Zhai, Hui, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2008): Two new species of the spider genus Poeciloneta Kulczyn'ski, 1894 (Araneae: Linyphiidae) from China.
