Three new species of the spider genus Liphistius (Araneae, Mesothelae, Liphistiidae) from Thailand.

ABSTRACT: We diagnose and describe three new species of the primitively segmented spider genus Liphistius from Thailand, based on male palp and female genital morphology: L.hatyai Zhan & Xu, sp. nov. (♂♀), L.keeratikiati Zhan & Xu, sp. nov. (♂♀), and L.inthanon Zhan & Xu, sp. nov. (♂♀). The classification of the three new species of Liphistius is discussed: L.hatyai sp. nov. and L.keeratikiati sp. nov. are assigned to the trang-group, and L.inthanon sp. nov. is placed in the bristowei-group according to male palp and female genital morphology.
