ABSTRACT
Four new species of the genus Cicurina are described: C. daweishanensis spec. nov. (female), C. kekei spec. nov. (male and female), C. lichuanensis spec. nov. (male and female) and C. yuelushanensis spec. nov. (male and female). Photos of body and copulatory organs, line drawings of copulatory organs, as well as the locality map are provided. The type specimens of Cicurina eburnata Wang, 1994 were reexamined for the comparison of allied species. Photos of C. calyciforma Wang Xu, 1989 are also presented in order to compare it with two new species.

A new Linyphiinae genus Zhezhoulinyphia gen. nov. from Yunnan Province is described together with its two new species: Z.caperata sp. nov. (â) and Z.denticulata sp. nov. (â, â). Centromerusyadongensis Hu & Li, 1987 is transferred to Zhezhoulinyphia gen. nov. and a new combination, Z.yadongensis (Hu & Li, 1987), comb. nov. is proposed.
ABSTRACT
Two new cavernicolous pselaphines, Araneibatrus curvitibialis Yin and Zhou, sp. n. and Tribasodites biyun Yin and Zhou, sp. n., are described from southern China, with diagnostic characters illustrated. Both new species can be readily distinguished from their respective congeners by the male dimorphic features on the antennae, legs, and (or) metaventrite, as well as by the configurations of the aedeagi.
