Abstract
This study reviews the Chinese representatives of Amaurobius, and a new genus, Sinoamaurobius Kong, Zhang & Wang, gen. nov., is described to accommodate seven species, including three new species and four species transferred from Amaurobius: Sinoamaurobiusguangwushanensis (Wang, Irfan, Zhou & Zhang, 2023), comb. nov., S.songi (Zhang, Wang & Zhang, 2018), comb. nov., S.spinatus (Zhang, Wang & Zhang, 2018), comb. nov., S.wulongdongensis (Wang, Irfan, Zhou & Zhang, 2023), comb. nov., S.baima Kong, Zhang & Wang, sp. nov. (♀, Sichuan), S.chengkou Kong, Zhang & Wang, sp. nov. (♂♀, Chongqing) and S.yintiaoling Kong, Zhang & Wang, sp. nov. (♂♀, Chongqing). Additionally, we also describe three new Amaurobius species: A.foping Kong, Zhang & Wang, sp. nov. (♀, Shaanxi), A.pingwu Kong, Zhang & Wang, sp. nov. (♂♀, Sichuan) and A.yushen Kong, Zhang & Wang, sp. nov. (♂♀, Chongqing and Hubei). For all new species, morphological descriptions and photos of habitus and copulatory organs are provided.
