            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The male of this species resembles  A. dang Jäger &amp; Praxaysombath, 2009 in having a similarly shaped median apophysis and broad, flat conductor, but it differs in: 1) the embolus is almost directed towards 6  o’clock apically in prolateral view (Fig. 2A), versus almost 9  o’clock in  A. dang (  Jäger and Praxaysombath 2009: fig. 38); 2) the distal end of the embolus is not expanded (Fig. 2A), versus expanded in  A. dang (  Jäger and Praxaysombath 2009: fig. 39); 3) the embolus has a distinct lamellar pendant (Fig. 2A), versus absent in  A. dang (  Jäger and Praxaysombath 2009: fig. 38). The female of the species resembles  A. macrochoera Thorell, 1891 in having the broad epigynal scape incrassated on the posterior-lateral margin but it differs in: 1) the epigynal scape is distinctly longer than wide in ventral view (Fig. 3A), versus almost as long as wide in  A. macrochoera (Levi 1983: fig. 19); 2) the septum is narrowest anteriorly in the posterior view (Fig. 3C), versus narrowest medially in  A. macrochoera (Levi 1983: fig. 20). </p>

            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> Argiope cameloides is known only from the descriptions of the holotype from Hainan, China (see Zhu et al. 1994: 33, fig. 8A-C). Because the pairing has been supported by the result of DNA barcoding, and the collection site is geographically near the type locality, we identified these specimens from Guangxi, China, as belonging to  A. cameloides . Moreover, the female of  A. macrochoera from China differs from the holotype in some details (the differences have also been noted by Yin et al. (1997)) and is almost identical to these  A. cameloides specimens, and, consequently, it is proposed as the female of  A. cameloides . </p>

            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> Argiope perforata was originally described based on the female holotype from Sichuan, China; the illustrations are poor. It was redescribed and better illustrated by Levi (1983) who based on a specimen from Guangdong, China. Herein, the opposite sexes of the new specimens were collected from the same localities, and their pairing has been supported by the result of DNA barcoding. Additionally, the male of  A. perforata , as described by Wang (1988), is considered to be mismatched and herein proposed to be the male of  A. boesenbergi Levi, 1983 due to the close resemblances in palp structure. Besides,  A. abramovi Logunov &amp;  Jäger , 2015 is almost indistinguishable from the new material of  A. perforata in the epigynal structures and generally habitus markings, except that there are some differences in the dorsal abdomen markings; thus,  A. abramovi is suggested as a synonym of  A. perforata . </p>

            <p>Material examined.</p>
            <p> China - Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region • 1♂, 1♀ (subadult) (TRU-  Araneidae -125-126), Fangchengang City, Shangsi County, Shiwandashan National Forest Park (21°53.87'N, 107°54.26'E, ca 370 m), night of 14.viii.2017, Xiaoqi Mi et al. leg.; 1♀ (TRU-  Araneidae -127), Chongzuo City, Jiangzhou District, Zuozhou Township, Guanghe Village (22°34.72'N, 107°24.94'E, ca 160 m), night of 03.vii.2019, Cheng Wang et al. leg.; 1♀ (TRU-  Araneidae -128), Chongzuo City, Longzhou County, Kouke Village (22°18.18'N, 106°42.23'E, ca 960 m), 08.vii.2019, Cheng Wang et al. leg.; China - Guizhou Province - Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture - Libo County • 1♀ (TRU-  Araneidae -129), Xiaoqikong Scenic Area (25°15.28'N, 107°42.96'E, ca 580 m), 08.vii.2017, Xiaoqi Mi et al. leg. • 5♀ (TRU-  Araneidae -130-134), Dongtang Township, Yaosuo Village, Maolan National Nature Reserve (25°16.37'N, 108°02.97'E, ca 550 m), 07-10.viii.2013, Xiaoqi Mi et al. leg. • 1♂ (TRU-  Araneidae -135),  Weng’ang Township, Jilong Village, Maolan National Nature Reserve (25°13.53'N, 107°56.18'E, ca 840 m), 10-11.viii.2013, Xiaoqi Mi et al. leg. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> The female was clearly diagnosed by Ono (2010). The male of this species resembles  A. minuta Karsch, 1879 in having the elongated median apophysis terminally divided into two branches, of which the inner branch bears a short spur. It differs in having the embolus being completely visible in prolateral view (Fig. 9A), versus partly hidden by the conductor in  A. minuta (Levi 1983: fig. 210), and in the median apophysis lacking a proximal protrusion (Fig. 9A), versus having a distinctly proximal protrusion in  A. minuta (Levi 1983: fig. 210). </p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Female described and illustrated by Ono (2010).</p>
            <p> Male (TRU-  Araneidae -125). Total length 5.21. Carapace 3.10 long, 2.88 wide; abdomen 2.37 long, 1.93 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.23, ALE 0.12, PME 0.24, PLE 0.21, AME-AME 0.23, AME-ALE 0.14, PME-PME 0.24, PME-PLE 0.22. Legs were used for DNA extraction. Carapace (Fig. 8E, F) yellow-brown, narrowed anteriorly, rounded medio-posteriorly, and flattened dorso-ventrally, covered with short thin hairs. Fovea linear. Chelicerae (Fig. 8G) brown to red-brown. Endites (Fig. 8G) dark brown and white on inner sides. Labium (Fig. 8G) pale. Sternum (Fig. 8G) heart-shaped, with irregular, median, white stripes. Abdomen (Fig. 8E-G) shield-shaped, dorsum brown, paler anteriorly and darker posteriorly, with several long hairs at the anterior margin, two pairs of muscle depressions medially, and little brown spots anteriorly and laterally; venter dark medially, with a pair of longitudinal white bands laterally. Spinnerets yellow-brown. </p>
            <p>Palp (Fig. 9A-D): tibia swollen, with two long dorsal bristles; paracymbium curved 90° medially and column-shaped posteriorly; median apophysis elongated, divided into two branches, and the dorsal one bearing a short spur; conductor ca 3 times longer than wide, touching median apophysis at base; embolus tapered, spiraled, forming ridges anterior-medially, and curved apically to a pointed tip in prolateral view.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>China (Guizhou, Guangxi); Vietnam.</p>
            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> A male and a subadult female were collected on the same web from Shiwandashan National Forest Park during the night. The embolus of the male is structurally consistent with the broken embolus found in an  A. vietnamensis female epigyne. Moreover, other male and females were also collected from Maolan National Nature Reserve. Based on these points of evidence, we propose the males as  A. vietnamensis . </p>
