Bocusoides zhaoi sp. nov. from China.

The generic name is the combination of “oides”, meaning “having the form of”, and the similar genus name Bocus; gender masculine.

Bocusoides gen. nov. can be easily distinguished from other genera of Myrmarachnina, except Bocus Peckham & Peckham, 1892, by having an elongated carapace with an obvious postocular constriction and an anteriorly broadened sternum. It can be distinguished from Bocus by the following: 1) male cheliceral paturon abruptly broadened at base (Fig. 2C–E, G; Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 9) versus gradually broadened from the base to the middle part in Bocus (Wanless 1978a: fig. 1C, 2B); 2) carapacal postocular constriction narrower, about 1/2 the carapacal width (Fig. 2C, F; Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 9) versus broader, about 2/3 the carapacal width in Bocus (Wanless 1978a: figs 1A, 2A); 3) pedical with conical, dorsal process (Fig. 2D; Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 11) versus absent in Bocus (Wanless 1978a: figs 1H, 2D); 4) leg formula 4123 versus 4132 in Bocus (see the description by Wanless 1978a); 5) male abdomen not constricted (Fig. 2C; Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 9) versus constricted at anterior 1/3 in Bocus (Wanless 1978a: figs 1A, 2A); 6) male palp with short tibia, which is wider than long and with filiform embolus with proximal disc (Fig. 1D; Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 13) versus tibia longer, at least as long as wide, and flat embolus without proximal disc in Bocus (Wanless 1978a: fig. 3A, E); 7) epigyne with distally circled copulatory ducts, elongated spermathecae, and elongated, arched fertilization ducts (Fig. 2A, B; Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 17) versus copulatory ducts not circled, spermathecae spherical, and fertilization ducts ordinary in Bocus (Wanless 1978a: fig. 1G).

Medium-sized, ant-like spiders. Carapace elongated. Pedicel short, with dorsal, conical process. Chelicerae well developed and with paturon abruptly broadened at base in males. Endites longer than wide, distally bearing dense, dark setae. Labium slightly darker than endites. Sternum irregular, anteriorly broadened. Legs elongated, with 11 and five ventral spines on tibiae and metatarsi I, respectively. Abdomen oval, not constricted; dorsum with white guanine patches or yellow-sliver spots at the lateral sides of anterior half, and alternate dark and paler transverse bands posteriorly, entirely covered by scutum in males; venter dark-brown.

Palp: tibia wider than long, with tapered, short retrolateral apophysis and triangular flange; cymbium flat, setose, with an apical spine; bulb flat and almost round, with tapered sperm duct extending along the submargin; embolus twice coiled, the first forming a broad, flat circle, the second with an elongated, lamellar disc followed by filiform remainder.

Epigyne: with posteriorly located hood; atria paired, oval, medially located, with arched lateral ridges; copulatory openings hidden; copulatory ducts membranous at origin, followed by sclerotized portion ascending obliquely, distally coiled four circles, which are encircling or lateral to the elongated spermathecae; fertilization ducts slender, arched, originating from the anterior portions of spermathecae.

The genus currently includes the type species and B. angusticollis (Deeleman-Reinhold & Floren, 2003) comb. nov.

Zhao leg.

The specific name is a patronym in honor of Qingyuan Zhao, the collector of this new species; noun (name) in genitive case.

Bocusoides zhaoi sp. nov. closely resembles B. angusticollis comb. nov. from Borneo in having a similar habitus and copulatory organs, but it can be easily distinguished by the following: 1) width of embolic disc greater than largest diameter of visible sperm duct (Fig. 1D) versus less than 1/2 in B. angusticollis (Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 13); 2) RTA curved inward distally in ventral view (Fig. 1D) versus curved retrolaterally in B. angusticollis (Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 13); 3) tibial flange about 1/4 RTA length in dorsal view (Fig. 1E) versus more than 1/2 in B. angusticollis (Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 14); 4) male chelicerae with three distal promarginal teeth that are almost equal in size, and female chelicerae with six promarginal teeth (Fig. 2G, H) versus male chelicerae include a basal denticle among the three distal promarginal teeth and female chelicerae with only three promarginal teeth in B. angusticollis (see the description by Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003); 5) copulatory ducts partially encircle spermathecae (Fig. 2B) versus copulatory ducts lateral to spermathecae in B. angusticollis (Deeleman-Reinhold and Floren 2003: fig. 17).

The species is named after Prof. Xiaoqi Mi, who helped us greatly with this research; noun (name) in genitive case.

Euochin mii sp. nov. resembles that of E. subwanyan (Wang & Li, 2020) from China in having a tapered embolus, straight retrolateral tibial apophysis and similarly sized, paired atria, but it differs by the following: 1) embolus forming a disc at base (Fig. 5C) versus indistinct in E. subwanyan (Wang and Li 2020a: fig. 5C), 2) copulatory ducts about 1/7 diameter of spermatheca and curved anteromedially (Fig. 5C) versus about 1/4 diameter of spermatheca and twisted entirely in E. subwanyan (Wang and Li 2020a: fig. 6C). The female also closely resembles E. luzonica Logunov, 2020 from Philippines in having thin copulatory ducts and large, spherical spermathecae, but it can be easily distinguished by the distance between the atrium and epigastric furrow, which is about 2/5 the spermathecal diameter (Fig. 6) but less than 1/10 the diameter in E. luzonica (Logunov 2020: fig. 15).

Known only from the type locality in Yunnan, China.

Wang and Li (2021) mentioned that the generic position of Euochin yaoi Wang & Li, 2021 may need further confirmation. This is true for the new species and the following one as well for the same reasons.

Holotype ♀ (IZCAS-Ar42930), China: Yunnan: Xishuangbanna, Mengla County, Xiaolongha Village, Xishuangbanna Biodiversity Conservation Corridor, ravine rainforest (21°24.25'N, 101°36.32'E, ca 760 m alt.), 16.xi.2013, Q. Zhao and Z. Chen leg. Paratype 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar42931), same data as holotype.

The specific name is a patronym in honor of the late Guo Tang, a major collector of spiders from Xishuangbanna; noun (name) in genitive case.

The new species can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the presence of anteromedial accessory glands of the copulatory ducts, and the long (longer than spermathecae) and medially fold copulatory ducts (Fig. 7A–C), which lack accessory glands of the copulatory ducts, and have short (shorter than spermathecae) and not fold copulatory ducts in others (see Metzner 2022).

The specific name is a patronym in honor of Dmitri V. Logunov, who contributed significantly to the taxonomy of the genus Eupoa; noun (name) in genitive case.

Eupoa logunovi sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the long, twisted retrolateral femoral apophysis (longer than the tibia), which is absent or shorter than the tibia in others (see Metzner 2022). The female of this species resembles that of E. prima Żabka, 1985 from Vietnam in having very long copulatory ducts, but it can be easily distinguished by the presence of a concave septum (Fig. 9A) versus absent in E. prima (Żabka 1985: figs 167, 168), and by copulatory ducts that are connected to the baso-inner portions of spermathecae (Fig. 9B), whereas in E. prima they are lateral to the spermathecae (Żabka 1985: fig. 169).

Carapace yellow to dark brown, steeply sloped at posterior margin, with an inverted subtriangular yellow area extending from middle of eye field to posterior margin, bearing sparse setae at eye base. Fovea indistinct. Chelicerae pale to yellow, with two promarginal and four retromarginal teeth. Endites colored as chelicerae. Labium slightly darker than endites. Sternum almost heart-shaped, paler medially, covered with thin, brown setae. Legs yellow, with three pairs of ventral spines on metatarsi and tibiae I, respectively. Abdomen suboval, dorsum dark, somewhat mingled with blue, with longitudinal, central, narrow yellow stripe across nearly the entire surface; venter pale, setose, without markings.

Indomarengo sarawakensis Benjamin, 2004 from Indonesia by original designation.

Holotype ♀ (IZCAS-Ar42935), China: Yunnan: Xishuangbanna, Jinghong City, Meng’a Township, Wengnan Village, secondary forest (22°05.00'N, 100°22.22'E, 1137 ± 12 m alt.), 25.xii.2012, Q. Zhao and Z. Chen leg.

The specific name is derived from the name of the type locality and is a noun in apposition.

Indomarengo wengnan sp. nov. resembles that of I. yui Wang & Li, 2020 from China in having a similar habitus and L-shaped spermathecae, but it can be easily distinguished by the following: 1) atria separated from each other by more than their width (Fig. 10A–D) versus almost touching in I. yui (Fig. 11A–C); 2) copulatory ducts not coiled (Fig. 10A–D) versus distally coiled in I. yui (Fig. 11A–C). The species is also similar to Tauala elongatus Peng & Li, 2002 from China in the general habitus and the paired, separated atria, but it differs by the absence of accessory glands of the copulatory ducts and L-shaped spermathecae (Fig. 10A–D), whereas in T. elongatus the glands of the copulatory ducts are present and the spermathecae are tube-shaped (Peng and Li 2002: fig. 20).

According to the morphological characters, the new species and I. yui are similar to I. thomsoni (Wanless, 1978) and Philates chelifer (Simon, 1900) in having an elongated, flat body, a specific form of the copulatory ducts, and prominent spermathecae, which are absent in the type species of Indomarengo and Philates Simon, 1900, but both may not monophyletic and need further revision. We provisionally place our two species in Indomarengo.

The male was thoroughly diagnosed by Wang and Li (2020b). The female resembles that of I. thomsoni (Wanless, 1978) from Borneo in having a similar epigyne, but it can be easily distinguished by the paired atria and L-shaped spermathecae (Fig. 11A–C), whereas there is a single atrium and irregular spermathecae in I. thomsoni (Wanless 1978b: fig. 8B, D, E). The species also resembles Philates chelifer from Indonesia, but it can be easily distinguished by having the abdomen with pair of round patches and a transverse band anteriorly (Fig. 11E), which are absent in P. chelifer, and by the L-shaped spermathecae (Fig. 11C), which are almost U-shaped in P. chelifer (Benjamin 2004: fig. 26C).
