KW - Wadotes willsi [Virginia / / Grayson County AB - The coelotine agelenid genus Wadotes, exclusive of the single described Palaearctic species W. primus, is a monophyletic assemblage of species endemic to eastern North America. Diagnoses, descriptions, distributions, natural history notes, a key, and a phylogeny are presented for eleven species, five of which (W. carinidactylus, W. deceptis, W. mumai, W. saturnus, and W. willsi) are described as new. W. convolutus and W. carolinus are synonymized with W. bimucronatus. The male palpal tarsus and the female epigynum of the Nearctic group is described in detail. Mating behavior of Wadotes is described for the first time. VL - 15 SN - 0161-8202 UR - ://ZOOREC:ZOOR12500011459 N1 - ZOOR12500011459 ER -
