Notes.
Phoroncidia is represented by a group of spiders characterised by the eye region strongly overhanging the carapace, and by having a large sclerotized ring around the spinnerets ( Gao and Li 2014). It contains 83 species distributed worldwide ( WSC 2025). Among the species, 53 (nearly 60 %) are known only from a single sex, and at least 20 species cannot be acutely identified due to a lack of enough diagnostic drawings or photos. Currently, nine species, including five endemics, are known from China ( WSC 2025).
