Species Diversity And Distribution Of The Family Sparassidae (Arachnida:Araneae)

The thesis is about the research on Sparassidae(Arachnida: Araneae)in China,which is divided into four parts,including the species diversity,morphological classification,systematic evolution and geographical distribution of Sparassidae in China.Based on the literature reviews and experimental data,the thesis has sorted out the species of Sparassidae in China to date,which includes 171 species of 12 genus,recorded the genus and distinguishing characteristics of representative species,and summarized the search table to the genus of Sparassidae in China.The four new species of the genus Sinopoda in China(S.hongruii,S.jiangzhou,S.yanjin.S.yanzi),one new record species of the genus Sinopoda in China(S.kalaw),and one new species of the genus Sinopoda from Thailand(S.saiyok)have been reported,all of which were accompanied by feature maps.The new species were classified in branch order and the morphological identification results were verified by molecular research methods and discussed.Through long-term field investigations,the habitat characteristics of spiders in the family Sparassidae were described;using data collected in the laboratory of Insititute of Zoology,Chinese Academy of Sciences for many years,the geographical distribution of the Sparassidae spiders in China was confirmed,and the habitat speculation distribution of Sparassidae spiders,including the new species of the genus Sinopoda and the genus Sinopoda,has been studied.Innovation of this thesis:1.Four new species of the genus Sinopoda in China,one new record species of the genus Sinopoda in China,and one new species of the genus Sinopoda from Thailand were for the first time reported.2.The habitat speculation distribution of the new species of the genus Sinopoda and the genus Sinopoda has been studied.
