New data on Asianopis (Aranei: Deinopidae) in Southeast Asia
Three new species, Asianopis lini sp. nov. (), A. naumenkoi sp. nov. (), and A. apo sp. nov. () are described from Malaysia (Borneo), and Philippines (Luzon, Mindanao). Asianopis liukuensis (Yin, Griswold & Yan, 2002) is reported from Borneo for the first time and its male redescribed. The record of the A. liukuensis is the easternmost for its whole range. A new species group, the Asianopis apo-group, is proposed. Detailed descriptions, digital photographs and a distributional map are provided.
