On small huntsman spiders (Araneae, Philodromidae) occurring in Guizhou and Hubei provinces, China.

ABSTRACT: Spiders of the family Philodromidae Thorell, 1869 from Guizhou and Hubei provinces, China are studied. A total of three genera and seven species are reported and illustrated, comprising Sinodromuslanyue sp. nov. (newly recorded genus for Hubei), and all known species from both provinces: Philodromusauricomus L. Koch, 1878, P.guiyang Long & Yu, 2022, P.subaureolus Bösenberg & Strand, 1906, P.paiki Jang, Lee, Yoo & Kim, 2024 (the previously records of P.spinitarsis Simon, 1895 from Guizhou and Hubei are presumed to be misidentifications, and should belong to P.paiki), P.rufus Walckenaer, 1826 (new record for Hubei) and Tibellusjaponicus Efimik, 1999 (new record for Hubei). Detailed descriptions, diagnoses, and illustration
