@article {500, title = {Revision of the genus Draconarius Ovtchinnikov 1999 (Agelenidae: Coelotinae) in Yunnan, China, with an analysis of the Coelotinae diversity in the Gaoligongshan Mountains}, journal = {Zootaxa}, volume = {2593}, year = {2010}, note = {ZOOR14611080331}, month = {2010}, pages = {1-127}, abstract = {A total of 71 species of the spider subfamily Coelotinae are recorded from Yunnan, China. The seven species that belong to the Coelotes pseudoterrestris species group were revised by Wang et al. (2009). Three species of the genus Pireneit- ega, one species of the genus Platocoelotes will be studied in a future revision of the genera. The rest of the 60 Dracon- arius species are described in this study, including 26 new species. All the new species were collected during a 10 year inventory of the Gaoligongshan Mountains in western Yunnan by the California Academy of Sciences and the Hunan Normal University: Draconarius adnatus sp. nov. ([male][female]), D. anceps sp. nov. ([female]), D. catillus sp. nov. ([male]), D. curvus sp. nov. ([female]), D. duplus sp. nov. ([female]), D. euryembolus sp. nov. ([male]), D. gigas sp. nov. ([male]), D. guoi sp. nov. ([female]), D. improprius sp. nov. ([female]), D. kavanaughi sp. nov. ([male]), D. laticavus sp. nov. ([female]), D. latusincertus sp. nov. ([male][female]), D. levyi sp. nov. ([female][male]), D. longlingensis sp. nov. ([male]), D. mikrommatos sp. nov. ([female]), D. olorinus sp. nov. ([female]), D. paraspiralis sp. nov. ([male][female]), D. pseudoagrestis sp. nov. ([male][female]), D. pseudospiralis sp. nov. ([male][female]), D. quattour sp. nov. ([female]), D. renalis sp. nov. ([female]), D. spiralis sp. nov. ([male][female]), D. tangi sp. nov. ([male]), D. tridens sp. nov. ([male]), D. xuae sp. nov. ([female]), and D. yani sp. nov. ([female]). Five species are transferred from Coelotes to Draconarius: Draconarius degeneratus (Liu \& Li 2009) comb. nov., D. introhamatus (Xu \& Li 2006) comb. nov., D. laohuanglongensis (Liu \& Li 2009) comb. nov., D. noctulus (Wang, Yin, Peng \& Xie 1990) comb. nov. and D. uncatus (Liu \& Li 2009) comb. nov. The males are described for the first time for D. capitulatus Wang 2003, D. pseudobrunneus Wang 2003 and D. pseudocapitulatus Wang 2003. Significant morpho- logical variation in the epigynum and vulva was found in some relatively widespread species, particularly the D. incertus species group, although the males show relatively consistant palpal morphology. Some Draconarius species placement remains uncertain, we prefer to leave them in this genus for now. Gaoligongshan Coelotinae is found to have high levels of species diversity and endemism, and is similar to the species from central and southern China, Himalayas and Thai- land. In addition to many species with their own unique characteristics, members belonging to seven species groups are recognized from Gaoligongshan, including Coelotes pseudoterrestris group species from Yunnan and Thailand; Dracon- arius spiralis group species endemic to Gaoligongshan; Draconarius incertus group species from southwestern China; Draconarius lutulentus group species from the Himalayas to central and southern China; Draconarius laticavus group species from Himalayas and Yunnan; Draconarius gurkha group species from Himalayas and Yunnan; and Draconarius terebratus group species from Yunnan. But no Draconarius venustus group species, which are widespread in East Asia, has been collected from Gaoligongshan.

Discovery of the male decades later brought surprises, especially in the morphology of the male pedipalp, which features (among other things) a retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA). The presence of an RTA is synapomorphic for a large clade of spiders exclusive of Eresidae. A molecular data matrix based on four loci was constructed to test two alternative hypotheses: (1) penestomines are eresids and the RTA is convergent, or (2) penestomines belong within the RTA clade. Taxon sampling concentrated on the Eresidae and the RTA clade, especially outside of the Dionycha and Lycosoidea. Evolution of the cribellum, conventionally characterized as a primitive araneomorph spinning organ lost multiple times, is explored. Parsimony optimization indicates repeated appearances of the cribellum. Exploration of asymmetric rates of loss and gain in both a likelihood framework and using a Sankoff matrix under parsimony reveals that cribellum homology is supported when losses are two times more likely than gains. We suggest that when complicated characters appear (under parsimony optimization) to evolve multiple times, investigators should consider alternative reconstructions featuring a relatively high rate of loss. Evolution of other morphological characters is also investigated. The results imply revised circumscription of some RTA-clade families, including Agelenidae, Amaurobiidae, Cybaeidae, Dictynidae and Hahniidae. Some nomenclatural changes are formally proposed here; others await further investigation. The family Penestomidae (NEW RANK) is established. Tamgrinia, not Neoramia, is the cribellate sister clade of the ecribellate Agelenidae. Tamgrinia and the subfamily Coelotinae are transferred from the family Amaurobiidae to the family Agelenidae. Zanomys and its relatives are not coelotines but belong to a clade tentatively identified as Macrobuninae. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
