Two new species of Cydrela thorell (Araneae: Zodariidae) from Thailand

Abstract

Two new species of the spider genus Cydrela Thorell, 1873 (Zodariidae: Cydrelinae) are described from. Thailand. Cydrela pristina, new species (male + female), was collected in primary montane cloud forests near the summit of Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain culminating at 2,563 m asl. Cydrela decidua, new species (female), was collected from a mixed deciduous forest of Phu Phan, a series of mountainous ranges situated in the northeastern part of the kingdom. The species previously described from Tibet, C. linzhiensis (Hu, 2001), new combination, is here transferred from Storena Walckenaer, 1805. © National University of Singapore.
