― A new jumping spider species, Chinattus prabodhi sp. nov. is described based on female speci mens collected from Assam State of India. Females of the new species can be distinguished from other known congeners by the epigyne lacking a distinctive circular median pocket, the long, narrow and arching copulato ry ducts, aligned posteriorly at the copulatory openings, and the oblong spermathecae. With the discovery of the new species, the genus Chinattus Logunov 1999 is reported for the first time from India.

of web-building spider reported in this paper is only one of the versatile predatory tactics of C. severum , as has been reported in N. soloripes which forages prey by cursorial hunting and web-building, as well as by web-invading (Jackson & Poulsen 1990). Further field studies and laboratory experi ments are needed to reveal the prevalence of araneophagy in corinnid spiders, and how they specialize in eating spiders. Abstract ― In this short paper, we report the predation of an orb-weaving spider Neoscona sp. (Araneae: Ara -neidae) by a corinnid sac spider Corinnomma severum (Araneae: Corinnidae) from Thailand. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of predation of web-building spider by a spider of the genus Corinnomma observed in the field.

― A new species of Araneus is described under the name Araneus reizan n. sp., by using specimens collected from Honshu, Japan. The female of the species can be distinguished from related species by the epigynal opening directing inward. The male of the species closely resemble A. macacus , but can be separated from the latter by the wider conductor, thinner projection of the conductor, and larger projection of the tegulum. The pairing of male and female specimens of the species was confirmed by DNA barcoding using mt-COI partial sequencing data.

― A new gnaphosid genus of the subfamily Zelotinae is described under the name of Aponetius n. gen. The new genus is related to Zelotes in having an intercalary sclerite in the male palp, but is distinguished from the latter by the male palp with an embolar radix reduced, a long embolus arising ventrally and a curved ridge on the retrolateral side of the cymbium, and the female genitalia with internal ducts complexly winding. Three species previously assigned to Zelotes are transferred to the new genus: Aponetius gladius (Kamura 1999) n. comb., A. ryukyuensis (Kamura 1999) n. comb. and A. flexuosus (Kamura 1999) n. comb. Two new species belonging to this new genus are described under the names of A. ogatai n. sp. and A. watarii n. sp. from Amami-Ōshima Island, Southwest Japan.
