Abstract

A new genus, Yinanyphaena Wang & Mi, gen. nov., of the family Anyphaenidae Bertkau, 1878, is proposed based on molecular phylogenetic results and morphological evidence. Five new species collected from the Qomolangma National Nature Reserve, Xizang, China are described: Y. haochuni Wang & Mi, sp. nov. (♂♀), Y. jinhuai Wang & Mi, sp. nov. (♂♀), Y. qomolangma Wang & Mi, sp. nov. (♂♀), Y. shikaii Wang & Mi, sp. nov. (♀), and Y. xufeii Wang & Mi, sp. nov. (♀). In addition, seven new combinations transferred from Anyphaena Sundevall, 1833 are also proposed: Y. cibagou (Wang & Mi, 2024), comb. nov., Y. linzhi (Wang & Mi, 2024), comb. nov., Y. rhynchophysa (Feng, Ma & Yang, 2012), comb. nov., Y. shufui (Wang & Mi, 2024), comb. nov., Y. tibet (Lin & Li, 2021), comb. nov., Y. wuyi (Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2005), comb. nov., and Y. yejiei (Wang & Mi, 2024), comb. nov. Diagnostic photos of the new species and Y. wuyi, along with a distributional map for the genus are provided.
