Treatment

Anyphaena shenzhen Lin & Li View in CoL , sp. nov. ( Figs 5A–E View Figure 5 , 6A–B View Figure 6 , 13A View Figure 13 , 14E–F View Figure 14 )

Diagnosis. Males of A. shenzhen Lin & Li , sp. nov. are similar to those of A. rhynchophysa Feng, Ma & Yang, 2012 and A. tibet Lin & Li , sp. nov. in the absence of a VTBA, but they can be distinguished by the dog head-shaped C (vs. C thin and curved in A. rhynchophysa and A. tibet Lin & Li , sp. nov.), and the RTA is wider than long (vs. RTA longer than wide in A. rhynchophysa and A. tibet Lin & Li , sp. nov.). Female can be easily distinguished by the C-shaped Cos, and the CDs have 4 spirals.
