Type species by original designation Chanea suukyii Miller, Griswold &amp; Yin, 2009: 54.</p><p>Composition.</p><p>Chanea suukyii Miller, Griswold &amp; Yin, 2009 and Chanea voluta sp. n.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Yunnan, Tibet)</p><p>Comments.</p><p>The genus Chanea was previously described in 2009 as monotypic (Miller et al. 2009). The type species, Chanea suukyii, was known only from the type locality in the Gaoligongshan Mountains, Yunnan Province, China. This spider species mainly live in leaf litter of the subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest. According to Miller et al. (2009), the diagnostic features of this genus differs from other mysmenids by the long embolus coiled into at least 5 loops encircles the conductor and subtegulum (figs 49A, 51B; Figs 2 A–B, 3 A–B), the entire distal part of the cymbium (fig. 49A; Fig. 3 C–D), the widely spaced anterior median eyes (fig. 52B; Fig. 1A) and pair of macrosetae on the clypeus in male (fig. 52B), and the long copulatory ducts coiled around the fertilization ducts or coiled around fertilization ducts no less than 10 loops in female (fig. 49C; Fig. 4 C–D). Miller et al. (2009) mentioned that the presence of a pair of clypeal marcosetae in male is also treated as one of the generic characters. But these are lacking from Chanea voluta sp. n. (Figs 1A, 1C). Therefore, we think that the extremely long, coiled embolus and the long, coiled copulatory ducts and/or fertilization ducts may be the main diagnoses for this genus. The paired macrosetae on the clypeus in male may just be an identifying character to this type species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9A12EDFB10B0CB2B0718831E220EEEB5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In recent years, research on species description reports of this genus mainly comes from China (Miller et al. 2009; Lin and Li 2008, 2013a, 2013b), Japan (Ono 2010), Queensland (Lopardo and Michalik 2013) and Canada (Lopardo et al. 2008). Lopardo and Hormiga (2015) suggested that Calodipoena, Itapua, Calomyspoena, Tamasesia, and Kekenboschiella are synonymized with Mysmena basing on the results of phylogeny and evolutionary of the family Mysmenidae . Several optimized synapomrophies shared by most of this genus were proposed, include the spermatic duct switchback distally benting at a right angle, the presence of a long ventral scape, the weakly sclerotized fertilization ducts and the vulva with a distinguishable wall (Lopardo and Hormiga 2015).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/79DC1F8703A71A068C2F057BFBBCCE29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
