Description

The pennatus species­group

The pennatus species­group can be distinguished from other Plator species by the presence of RTA of male pedipalpus (Figs 19, 24, 30, 35), and female epigyne with broad first windings of the copulatory duct system (Figs 17, 22, 27, 28, 33).

Five species, all from the fauna of southwest Asia are included in this group: P. bowo sp. nov., P. indicus Simon, 1897, P. pandeae Tikader, 1969, P. pennatus Platnick, 1976, and P. yunlong sp. nov. Here, two Chinese known species, exclude P. indicus, are redescribed with the descriptions of two new Chinese species.
