88ED1591BFA45D14B9760A840B58C4F1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The genus can be distinguished from Savarna Huber, 2005 by the male chelicera with a sclerotized distal apophysis (da) on the front-lateral surface and a hooked frontal apophysis (fa 2), by the male palpal trochanter apophysis extremely short (as long as wide) and not attached to the femur, by the male palpal femur with a retrolateral apophysis (ra), and by the epigyne with a posterior lip (pl) in nearly half of the species.	en	Li, Jinglin, Zhang, Baisensen, Li, Shuqiang, Yao, Zhiyuan (2025): Taxonomic notes on four closely related spider species of the genus Khorata (Araneae, Pholcidae).

DF88E5ABC2E15000AD5192397912BF9B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species can be distinguished from K. yuhaoi by the procursus with a bifurcated prolatero-distal apophysis (pda 1) (Fig. 2 C vs psa not bifurcated, Fig. 4 E), by the male cheliceral frontal apophyses (fa 1) wedge-shaped (pointed in lateral view, Fig. 3 D vs blunt, arrow in fig. 6 D in Xu et al. 2020), by the anterior arch (aa) lacking sclerites (as) (Fig. 3 B vs present, Fig. 4 F), and by the pore plates (pp) nearly triangular (Fig. 3 B vs nearly elliptical, Fig. 4 F).	en	Li, Jinglin, Zhang, Baisensen, Li, Shuqiang, Yao, Zhiyuan (2025): Taxonomic notes on four closely related spider species of the genus Khorata (Araneae, Pholcidae).
