7DC578FA3E8657968B3BCDD4387AE989.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The generic name is a combination of the first three letters of China and the latter half of Mysmena. The gender is feminine.	en	Lin, Yucheng, Li, Shuqiang (2022): Chimena gen. nov., a new spider genus (Araneae, Mysmenidae) from China, with descriptions of two new species and a new combination.

7DC578FA3E8657968B3BCDD4387AE989.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Chimena gen. nov. differs from other mysmenid genera by the presence of strong spines on the chelicerae of males (as in some Chinese species of Gaoligonga Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009 and Mysmena Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009; see fig. 38 A in Miller et al. 2009, fig. 8 C in Lin and Li 2014, and figs 5 E, 6 A, 7 E in Lin and Li 2008); a very long embolus spiralling around the bulb at least 5 times; and the spermathecae near the posterior margin of the epigyne; the copulatory ducts are highly coiled and extend anteriorly. Chimena gen. nov. is morphologically similar to Chanea Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009 in having an extremely coiled embolus (cf. Figs 3 A, 5 A; figs 49 A-B, 51 A-B in Miller et al. 2009; figs 3 A in Lin and Li 2016) and a membranous, translucent, wrinkled scape (Figs 4 J, 6 J, 7 F; fig. 4 D in Lin and Li 2016). Males can be distinguished by the presence of a cymbial process (CyP 1, CyP 2), which is absent in Chanea (Figs 3 D, 3 F, 5 B, 5 G vs. 49 A, 49 B in Miller et al. 2009 and figs 2 C, 3 C in Lin and Li 2016). Females differ by having the spiral rod-shaped spermathecae close to the posterior margin of the epigyne, versus globular spermathecae located anteriorly in Chanea, as well as the copulatory ducts not being entwined with the fertilization ducts [intertwined in Chanea (Figs 4 I, J, 6 I, J, 7 E-F vs. fig. 49 C in Miller et al. 2009 and fig. 4 C-D in Lin and Li 2016)].	en	Lin, Yucheng, Li, Shuqiang (2022): Chimena gen. nov., a new spider genus (Araneae, Mysmenidae) from China, with descriptions of two new species and a new combination.

7DC578FA3E8657968B3BCDD4387AE989.taxon	description	Description. Carapace pear-shaped, cephalic part distinctly raised in male; clypeus slightly concave. Ocular area black, AME black, others white; AER procurved, PER recurved or straight; ALE adjoined to AME and PLE, AMEs separated by at least its diameter; further separated in males than in females. Two or three pairs of strong spines on anterior surface of male chelicerae (Figs 4 E, 6 E). Labium fused to sternum. Sternum triangular, slightly plump, posteriorly truncated, light colour anteriorly and centrally. Each leg segment proximally pale yellow, distally darkish grey. Male with a mesal clasping spine and a distal, small nodule prolaterally on metatarsus I (Fig. 3 C), female with weakly sclerotized spot on femur I. Abdomen dorsally rounded, surrounded by stripe of white pigmentation laterally and posteriorly. Venter black between epigastric furrow and spinnerets (Figs 4 B, D, 6 B, D, 7 B). Male palp. Tibia swollen, proximally narrow and distally broad, larger number of long setae on dorsally than ventrally (Figs 3 F-G, 5 G-H). Cymbium translucent, encloses ventral and prolateral sides of bulb (Figs 3 G, 5 E, H). Paracymbium flat, wide, with a few long setae and a horn-shaped process (CyP 2) distally (Figs 3 D, F, 5 B, D). Distal part of cymbium extends to form an apical cymbial conductor (CyC), with horn-shaped or dentoid process (CyP 1) attached to lateral margin of cymbial conductor (Figs 3 E, F, 5 B-D, G-H). Tegulum flat, without any process or projection (Figs 3 F, 5 D, F). Embolus slender, filiform, elongate, encircles the bulb multiple times, end extends to apex of cymbial conductor (Figs 3 F, 5 E, G-H). Epigyne and vulva. Genital area covered with sparse setae, sclerotized spermathecae faintly visible through tegument (Figs 4 H, 6 H, 7 D). Scape wrinkled, membranous, finger-like, short. Spermathecae rod-shaped, spiral, near epigynal posteromargin, separated from one another by about their length. Most of copulatory ducts membranous, extending anteriorly, coiled, overlapped with anterior end of spermathecae. Fertilization ducts relatively long, wide, originating at distal part of spermathecae, middle and proximal parts entwined with spermathecae, distal part thins gradually, inflexed (Figs 4 I-J, 6 I-J, 7 E-F).	en	Lin, Yucheng, Li, Shuqiang (2022): Chimena gen. nov., a new spider genus (Araneae, Mysmenidae) from China, with descriptions of two new species and a new combination.
