Abstract

Five new species of the spider family Symphytognathidae (Araneae) are described and illustrated from southern China: Patu bicorniventris spec. nov., P. nigeri spec. nov., P. quadriventris spec. nov., P. shiluensis spec. nov. and P. spinathoraxi spec. nov. These spiders were collected in the leaf litter and tree canopy of tropical rainforests by sieving and fogging. The genus Patu Marples, 1951, known from Colombia, Hispaniola, Oceania, and African Seychelles Islands, except that web structure and web-building behavior of undescribed Patu species were reported before, is described from Asia for the first time.
