Abstract

Four morphologically similar species of the Pholcus yichengicus species group, occurring in geographic proximity of China’s Qinling Mountains, were recognised, based on morphology and four methods of molecular species delimitation. They comprise two new species, namely Pholcus ankangsp. nov. and P. baojisp. nov. and two previously described species: P. ovatus Yao & Li, 2012 and P. taibaiensis Wang & Zhu, 1992. Their DNA barcodes were obtained to estimate p-distances and K2P distances. In addition, an identification key for the four closely-related species is presented.

中国秦岭崖柏种群（鹤形目，崖柏科）四个近缘种的分类研究：综合形态学和分子方法

根据形态学和四种分子物种划分方法，确认了出现在中国秦岭附近的四种形态相似的Pholcus yichengicus物种群。它们包括两个新种，即 Pholcus ankangsp：P. ovatus Yao & Li, 2012 和 P. taibaiensis Wang & Zhu, 1992。它们的DNA条形码被用来估算p-距离和K2P距离。此外，还给出了这四个近缘种的鉴定检索表。

期刊介绍： Zoosystematics and Evolution, formerly Mitteilungen aus dem Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, is an international, open access, peer-reviewed life science journal devoted to whole-organism biology. It publishes original research and review articles in the field of Metazoan taxonomy, biosystematics, evolution, morphology, development and biogeography at all taxonomic levels. The journal''s scope encompasses primary information from collection-related research, taxonomic descriptions and discoveries, revisions, annotated type catalogues, aspects of the history of science, and contributions on new methods and principles of systematics. Articles whose main topic is ecology, functional anatomy, physiology, or ethology are only acceptable when of systematic or evolutionary relevance and perspective.
