Two new cave-dwelling <i>Spiricoelotes</i> species (Araneae, Agelenidae) from Hubei, China.

ABSTRACT: Two new cave-dwelling Spiricoelotes (Wang, 2002) species are described: S.metyr sp. nov. (♂♀) and S.zhengi sp. nov. (♂♀). Moreover, Spiricoeloteszonatus (Peng & Wang, 1997) is redescribed due to the high similarity to S.zhengi sp. nov. All these three species are illustrated, and their collection localities are mapped. To ensure the correct gender match, the COI sequences data are provided.
