A new Gongylidioides Oi, 1960 from Taiwan (Aranei: Linyphiidae)

Abstract

A new species, Gongylidioides protegulus sp.n., is described from Chiayi and Pingtung counties of Taiwan. The new species differs from the known congeners by the structure of the copulatory organs, mainly by the long, thin, looped embolus and conically protruded, membraneous protegulum, as well as by the shape of the epigynal ventral plate.
