Abstract

Background

Yongxing Island (about 1.85 km2) is the largest island of the Xisha Islands. It is located in the Western South China Sea and belongs to the tropical ocean monsoon climate zone. Yongxing Island is quite rich in biological resources, for example, plants and birds which have been well documented. However, there are limited reports on spider resources in Yongxing Island.

New information

A preliminary checklist of spiders of the Yongxing Island is provided, based on a short-term study undertaken in January 2008. A total of 23 species, belonging to 21 genera and 11 families, were recorded from the area, which forms baseline information of spiders of the Yongxing Island. Amongst these, Oonopidae, Pholcidae, Araneidae and Salticidae were found to have more species in the area. Brignolia parumpunctata (Simon, 1893), Opopaea apicalis (Simon, 1893), Opopaea deserticola Simon, 1891 and Xyphinus baehrae Kranz-Baltensperger, 2014 were firstly reported from China, for which we provide taxonomic description in this paper.

Introduction

Yongxing Island (Fig. 1), also known as Woody Island of the Paracel Islands and originating from coral reef, is the largest island of the Xisha Islands (Ye 1996). This area belongs to tropical marine monsoon climate, characterised by dampness and heat (Zhao et al. 1994). The annual mean lowest and highest temperatures are 22.9°C and 28.9°C and the annual rainfall is about 1505 mm (Zhao et al. 2017). Soil of Yongxing Island consists of phosphatic lime type and was formed in the late Holocene (Yu et al. 1995). The above environmental conditions endow the Island with suitable natural habitat and high biodiversity potential. In the sea, tropical marine organisms abound, while on land, tropical plants are luxuriant, with many bird species and other terrestrial organisms (Zhao et al. 1994). Nevertheless, the reports of spiders in the locality are extremely limited up to now.

Oonopids are tiny haplogyne spiders with usually six eyes often gathered together (Tong 2013). According to World Spider Catalog (2021), the family consists of 1874 species in 114 genera distributed mainly in the Tropics and Subtropical Regions. Up to now, a total of 14 genera with 85 species of oonopids are known in China (World Spider Catalog 2021). In the present paper, four species belonging to three genera are reported and illustrated from China for the first time, thereby increasing the total of oonopids to 89 species.

Materials and methods

Specimens were collected through intensive hand searching and afterwards stored in 75% alcohol and examined using a Leica M205C stereomicroscope. Further details were studied under a Leica DM2500 compound microscope. All illustrations were made using a drawing tube and inked on ink jet plotter paper. Vulvae of females were cleared in lactic acid.
