On small huntsman spiders (Araneae, Philodromidae) occurring in Guizhou and Hubei provinces, China

Spiders of the family Philodromidae Thorell, 1869 from Guizhou and Hubei provinces, China are studied. A total of three genera and seven species are reported and illustrated, comprising <i>Sinodromuslanyue</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> (newly recorded genus for Hubei), and all known species from both provinces: <i>Philodromusauricomus</i> L. Koch, 1878, <i>P.guiyang</i> Long & Yu, 2022, <i>P.subaureolus</i> Bösenberg & Strand, 1906, <i>P.paiki</i> Jang, Lee, Yoo & Kim, 2024 (the previously records of <i>P.spinitarsis</i> Simon, 1895 from Guizhou and Hubei are presumed to be misidentifications, and should belong to <i>P.paiki</i>), <i>P.rufus</i> Walckenaer, 1826 (new record for Hubei) and <i>Tibellusjaponicus</i> Efimik, 1999 (new record for Hubei). Detailed descriptions, diagnoses, and illustrations of <i>S.lanyue</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> and <i>P.guiyang</i> are given, and the male of <i>P.guiyang</i> is diagnosed and described in English for the first time. The other five species are also re-illustrated. Their DNA barcodes were obtained for species delimitation, matching of sexes and future use.
