A32DAF09FFC7FFD9FF1EFEB5A2CDFB73.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The genus name Asiagone is a combination of the words “ Asia ” and “ Erigone ”, the gender is feminine.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2014): New species and records of linyphiid spiders from Laos (Araneae, Linyphiidae). Zootaxa 3841 (1): 67-89, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3841.1.3
A32DAF09FFC7FFD9FF1EFEB5A2CDFB73.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new genus is distinguished from all other linyphiids by its peculiar structure of the embolic division, notably, by the long embolus forming a wide loop that is partly covered by a large, flat and complex convector (after Tanasevitch 1998, 2011). The embolus has a structure in the middle or in the distal part, which resembles an exfoliated chitinous tunic of a special, “ flag-like ” shape (“ F ” in Figs 5, 6, 13).	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2014): New species and records of linyphiid spiders from Laos (Araneae, Linyphiidae). Zootaxa 3841 (1): 67-89, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3841.1.3
A32DAF09FFC7FFD9FF1EFEB5A2CDFB73.taxon	discussion	Phylogenetics. Monophyly of Asiagone is supported by two putative synapomorphies, derived from the morphology of the male palp, i. e., the coiled embolus partly covered with chitinous tunic and the presence of the large, flat and complex convector, which holds and protects the embolus. Unfortunately, the peculiar structure of the palp, coupled with the absence of corresponding female material makes it difficult yet to hypothesize the closest relatives of this genus. Such are likely to be found among other Southeast Asian erigonines.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2014): New species and records of linyphiid spiders from Laos (Araneae, Linyphiidae).

A32DAF09FFC0FFDDFF1EFA4BA26CFE3B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The monotypic genus Paranasoona Heimer, 1984 was established for the Vietnamese P. cirrifrons Heimer, 1984. A revision of the type material of P. cirrifrons has shown that it is definitely congeneric with Atypena superciliosa Simon, 1894 (the type species of Atypena). This is clearly supported by the somatic characters, e. g., the size, the modified carapace, and the chaetotaxy, as well as by the similar structure of the male palp, e. g., shape of tibia, well-developed distal suprategular apophysis, embolic division with a short, thick embolus directed forward, presence of the embolic tail, as well as very long, stylet-shaped radical apophysis directed downward. They also share the general appearance of the epigynum. Thus, Paranasoona Heimer, 1984 becomes a junior subjective synonym of Atypena Simon, 1894 n. syn. The genus Diplophrys Millidge, 1995 was erected for two similar species, D. pallida Millidge, 1995 (the type species) from Thailand and D. crocatoa Millidge, 1995 from Indonesia. Later, Platnick (1998) proposed the replacement name Millplophrys Platnick, 1998, as the Millidge’s generic name turned out to be preoccupied by Diplophrys Barker, 1868 (see Platnick 2014 for details). A comparison of the figures and the original descriptions of M. pallida and M. crocatoa, as in case of P. cirrifrons (see above), leave no doubt that both species are congeneric with Atypena superciliosa (the type species of Atypena). Therefore, Millplophrys should also be considered a junior subjective synonym of Atypena, n. syn. Thus, the genus Atypena besides five species mentioned in Platnick’s Catalogue (2014) should include three other species, viz., A. cirrifrons (Heimer, 1984), A. pallida (Millidge, 1995) and A. crocatoa (Millidge, 1995), all n. comb.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

A32DAF09FFCDFFD2FF1EF9C5A0EDFD20.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Hylyphantes birmanica Thorell, 1895 was previously considered a Southeast Asian vicariant of the Palearctic H. graminicola (see Tanasevitch 2010). These species differ in the position of a denticle in the distal part of the male palpal tibia, as well as in the location, more exactly, inclination of the receptacles of the epigynum. A study of material, both new and old, from different parts of the Palaearctic shows that all those minor differences reflect individual variations. Thus, a H. graminicola male collected from Muang Sing, Laos has a denticle, versus its full absence in a syntopic male. Similarly, the location, size and even presence of a denticle is often observed in H. graminicola from various parts of the Palearctic. The degree of the inclination of the epigynal’s receptacles also varies individually, depending as well on the extent of chemical maceration of the supporting tissues during epigynum clearing.

A32DAF09FFCCFFD2FF1EFCD7A2CDF979.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Laogone n. gen. is diagnosed by combined presence of a convector (see Tanasevitch 1998, 2011) and a membrosclerum (Tanasevitch 1996, 2008), by the extremely long median membrane, as well as the peculiar shape of the paracymbium.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

A32DAF09FFCCFFD2FF1EFCD7A2CDF979.taxon	discussion	Phylogenetics. The putative autapomorphies of Laogone n. gen. are the diagnostic features mentioned in the previous section. In spite of the presence of the convector, Laogone n. gen. has no any other affinities to the known genera with this sclerite, e. g., Asiagone n. gen., Oedothorax Bertkau, 1883, Gongylidioides Oi, 1960, Batueta Locket, 1982, Nasoona Locket, 1982, etc. The modified paracymbium is presented in the Indian Paracymboides Tanasevitch, 2011, and the extremely long median membrane is existing in the Far Eastern Parasisis Eskov, 1984, but the new genus have not any other similarity to the mentioned genera. Close relative genera are likely to be found among other Southeast Asian erigonines.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2014): New species and records of linyphiid spiders from Laos (Araneae, Linyphiidae).

Gorbothorax Tanasevitch, 1998 new synonymy (type species Gorbothorax comatus Tanasevitch, 1998, by original designation).	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V. (2014): New species and records of linyphiid spiders from Laos (Araneae, Linyphiidae). Zootaxa 3841 (1): 67-89, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3841.1.3
A32DAF09FFCEFFD0FF1EFD4BA0B9F8D8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genus Gorbothorax Tanasevitch, 1998 was erected for five Nepalese erigonine species, based exclusively on males, with G. comatus Tanasevitch, 1998 as type species (Tanasevitch 1998). A comparison of Gorbothorax representatives with species of the Southeast Asian genus Nasoona reveals a similar palp conformation, a similarly modified carapace, the same chaeto- and trichobothriotaxy, as well as a variegated body. The type species of both these genera are considered congeneric, thus, Gorbothorax Tanasevitch, 1998 becomes a junior subjective synonym of Nasoona Locket, 1982 n. syn. One of the characteristic features of Nasoona is the presence of an additional sclerite in the embolic division connected through a membranous tissue with the embolus, but lacking a duct (see Figs 33 – 35; 39 – 42). This sclerite seems to support and protect the embolus. A similar structure is found in species of numerous erigonine genera, e. g. Oedothorax Bertkau, 1883, Gongylidioides Oi, 1960, etc. Merrett (1963) termed this sclerite a “ lamella ”, putting it in quotation marks to emphasize its provisional designation, which would later be replaced by a special name. To designate this additional sclerite in the embolic division in Oedothorax, Tanasevitch (1998) proposed the term “ convector ”, which in Latin means “ companion. ” In addition to a convector, the embolic division in Nasoona has another additional sclerite, small, tightly adjoined to the distal part of the convector, which is to be named here as a paraconvector (see Figs 35, 41). Locket (1982), in his paper on West Malaysian linyphiids, designated this sclerite a “ hinged lamella ” while the convector was referred to as the “ radical part of the embolus ”. Both homology propositions seem to be incorrect. The sperm duct running from the suprategulum, through the loose membranous tissue of the column, to the embolic division misses the so-called “ radical part ” before entering the flagelliform embolus (see Figs 33, 34). This sclerite that does not have the sperm duct going through it is homologized here to the convector (“ lamella ”, in the sense of Merrett (1963); “ radical part of the embolus ” in the sense of Locket (1982 )). Species included. The genus comprises 12 species, including seven currently known in Nasoona (see Platnick 2014) and further five newly transferred from Gorbothorax: N. asocialis (Wunderlich, 1974) n. comb., N. comata (Tanasevitch, 1998) n. comb., N. conica (Tanasevitch, 1998) n. comb., N. setifera (Tanasevitch, 1998), and N. wunderlichi (Brignoli, 1983) n. comb.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

A32DAF09FFCEFFD5FF1EF8F8A26DF9E2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Both species, Oedothorax asocialis and Gorbothorax ungibbus, were described from Nepal, the former from a female, the latter from a male (Wunderlich 1974, Tanasevitch 1998).

Hence, of Gorbothorax ungibbus Tanasevitch, 1998 becomes a junior subjective synonym of Oedothorax asocialis Wunderlich, 1974 n. syn., whereas O. asocialis, because of the synonymy of Gorbothorax with Nasoona, becomes Nasoona asocialis (Wunderlich, 1974) n. comb.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

A32DAF09FFD0FFCEFF1EFF0BA244FBFD.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin word “ hamatus, - a, - um ”, meaning “ hook-shaped ” and refers to the peculiar shape of the cymbium; adjective.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

A32DAF09FFD0FFCEFF1EFF0BA244FBFD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is similar to T. tricaudata, but differs well by the hook-shaped posterior cymbial outgrowth (versus nipper-shaped in T. tricaudata), as well as by the shape of the more compact terminal apophysis.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.

A32DAF09FFD0FFCEFF1EFF0BA244FBFD.taxon	description	Description. Male holotype. Total length 1.40. Carapace unmodified, 0.63 long, 0.51 wide, pale brown. Eyes normal. Chelicerae 0.23 long. Legs yellow, with longitudinal dark stripes. FeI, 0.78, Leg IV, 2.45 long (0.68 + 0.18 + 0.58 + 0.63 + 0.38). Chaetotaxy unknown (usually, all tibia with two dorsal spines), spines mostly lost, in type species all tibiae with 1 dorsal spine, no femoral or metatarsal spines. Metatarsi I – III with a trichobothrium each. TmI, 0.16. Palp (Figs 75 – 80): Tibia without special spine. Cymbium with a large, proximal hook-shaped outgrowth. Paracymbium relatively small, toothless. Lamella characteristica totally reduced. Terminal apophysis large, well-sclerotized, looks like lamella characteristica. Embolus with Fickert’s gland inside, thumb present. Opisthosoma 0.75 long, 0.48 wide, dark grey with vague, irregular, white, small spots. Female. Unknown. Taxonomic remarks. The monotypic genus Theoa was erected by Saaristo (1995) for Theonina tricaudata Locket, 1982, which had originally been described from West Malaysia (Locket 1982) and later found in the Seychelles (Saaristo 1995). The palp structure, i. e., modified cymbium, totally reduced lamella characteristica and the position of Fickert’s gland inside the embolus, clearly supports the generic inclusion of the new species in genus Theoa.	en	Tanasevitch, Andrei V.
