Reclassification of Coelotes songae (Araneae: Agelenidae: Coelotinae) with description of its unknown female confirmed by morphology and DNA barcoding

Abstract

The genus Sinocoelotes Zhao & Li, 2016 is recorded from Vietnam for the first time based on the reclassification of Coelotes songae Liu, Li & Pham, 2010 as Sinocoelotes songae (Liu, Li & Pham, 2010) comb. nov. The previously unknown female is described for the first time from type locality, as confirmed through DNA barcoding and morphological analysis.
