Abstract

Background: Solifugae, commonly known as camel spiders, sun spiders or wind scorpions, is a relatively understudied order of predominantly nocturnal, cursorial and predatory arachnids, characterised by their formidable two-segmented chelicerae, voracious appetite and impressive speed. It is one of the meso-diverse arachnid orders, comprising 15 families, 144 genera, over 1200 described species and five monotypic fossil genera. Karschia Walter, 1889 is a small genus within the solifugid family Karschiidae, which, until now, had contained 32 species distributed in North Africa, Middle East and Central Asia, with 12 of these described from western regions of China.

New information: Two new species of the genus Karschia Walter, 1889 are described from Xizang, China: Karschia (Karschia) shannan sp. nov. and Karschia (Karschia) trisetalis sp. nov. Detailed morphological descriptions, photographs of the bodies and a distribution map of these two new species are provided.

来自中国西藏的 Karschia Walter, 1889 的两个新种（Solifugae, Karschiidae）。

背景：蛛形纲（Solifugae）俗称骆驼蜘蛛、太阳蜘蛛或风蝎，是一种研究相对较少的蛛形纲，主要为夜行性、草食性和捕食性蛛形纲，其特点是具有可怕的两节螯肢、贪婪的食欲和惊人的速度。它是中生代蛛形纲之一，包括 15 科、144 属、1200 多个已描述物种和 5 个单型化石属。Karschia Walter, 1889 是独角虫科 Karschiidae 中的一个小属，到目前为止，该科共有 32 个种，分布于北非、中东和中亚，其中 12 个种描述于中国西部地区：新信息：从中国西藏描述了 Karschia 属的两个新种：和 Karschia (Karschia) trisetalis sp.本文提供了这两个新种的详细形态描述、虫体照片和分布图。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
