New species and new combinations of the spider genus Baiyuerius Zhao, B. Li & S. Q. Li, 2023 (Araneae, Agelenidae, Coelotinae)
The spider genus Baiyuerius established by Zhao, B. Li & S. Q. Li, 2023 contains 10 species distributed in China and Vietnam. In this paper, twelve new species of the genus Baiyuerius are described from China: B. arcticus sp. nov. (), B. carcharus sp. nov. (), B. chongzu sp. nov. (), B. cuii sp. nov. (), B. digitus sp. nov. (), B. fengbini sp. nov. (), B. jiquanyui sp. nov. (), B. imitatus sp. nov. (), B. loong sp. nov. (), B. shaanensis sp. nov. (), B. shenyunxiaoi sp. nov. () and B. wenshanensis sp. nov. (). The male of Baiyuerius daxi Zhao, B. Li & S. Li, 2023 is described for the first time. Additionally, we transfer one previously described Coelotes Blackwall, 1841 species and one Draconarius Ovtchinnikov, 1999 species: C. processus Xu & Li, 2007 and D. subyanlingensis (Liu & Xu, 2020) to Baiyuerius. All 24 Baiyuerius species are divided into five morphological species groups.
