A900954A8A7CFFB1A6006C91FB9238E6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Heliophanoides closely resembles Heliophanus C. L. Koch, 1833 in habitus, but it can be easily distinguished by the absence of femoral and patellar apophyses of male palp, the unmodified bulb similar to that of many chrysillines, the median located, oval or round atrium, the reduced copulatory ducts, and much larger spermathecae (Figs 2, 3 A – B; Prószyński 1992: figs 50 – 51, 55; Lei & Peng 2013: figs 4 a – b, 8 a – b, d – g), whereas often the presence of femoral and patellar apophyses of male palp, the protruding bulb, varied atria, much longer copulatory ducts, and much smaller spermathecae in Heliophanus (Wesołowska 1986; Metzner 2023). The genus also somewhat resembles Phintella Strand, 1906, but it can be easily distinguished by the male palp having two tibial apophyses (Fig. 2; Lei & Peng 2013: figs 4 a – b, 8 a – b), and by the female having a medially located, oval or round atrium (Fig. 3 A; Prószyński 1992: figs 49, 53 – 54; Lei & Peng 2013: fig. 8 d – e), whereas only one tibial apophysis, and without similarity-shaped atrium in Phintella (Żabka 1985: figs 403 – 441; Peng 2020: figs 208, 209 b – c, 212 c – e, g – h; Metzner 2023).	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).

A900954A8A7CFFB1A6006C91FB9238E6.taxon	discussion	Comments Phintella tengchongensis Lei & Peng 2013 is consistent with the generotype of Heliophanoides (H. epigynalis Prószyński, 1992) in the habitus and epigynal structure, hence it is transferred to Heliophanoides. Phintella longlingensis Lei & Peng 2013 (only known from single holotype) is also transferred because it shares a similar habitus and palpal structure with P. tengchongensis. Moreover, species of Heliophanoides possess a tegular bump, which is characteristic of the tribe Chrysillini (Maddison 2015). And so, the genus could be assigned to the tribe Chrysillini.	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).

A900954A8A77FFBEA6066AACFB8E39AA.taxon	discussion	Comments Phintella indica (Simon, 1901) is documented as an Indo-Chinese species (Wesołowska 1986). The examined specimen is almost identical to the syntype of P. indica in palpal structure. Based on that, it was identified as P. indica. Moreover, P. indica possesses some unique features of Icius, e. g., having a dorsal cheliceral crest (Wesołowska 2017). Meanwhile, the habitus and palpal structures of this species resemble those of Icius more than those of species of Phintella, so, it is being transferred to Icius herein. Moreover, both males of Icius koreanus described by Xiao (1993), and Pseudicius koreanus described by Peng et al. (1993) are consistent with the examined specimen in palpal structure, and so, they are considered to be misidentified. Moreover, the female of Pseudicius koreanus described by Peng et al. (1993) could also be misidentified, and it may be the true female of I. indicus.	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).

A900954A8A6AFFA2A6216913FDC23D3C.taxon	discussion	Comments The female of Phintella arcuata is considered to be mismatched and identified as P. subpanda sp. nov. below. Both the male of P. arcuata and the female of P. levii were collected from Huping Mountain National Nature Reserve and their collection localities are close to each other. Moreover, they share a similar habitus, and are consistent with P. pygmaea in palpal and epigynal structures, respectively (e. g., the male has a sub-oval carapace, three transverse white bands medially on the dorsum of the abdomen, a medially located retromarginal cheliceral tooth, and similarly shaped copulatory ducts). Based on that, it is safe to consider P. arcuata and P. levii as the same species. According to the rules, P. levii is assigned as a synonym of P. arcuata.	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).

A900954A8A4AFF8CA60B6D7CFC373DE8.taxon	discussion	Comments The species is provisionally placed in Ptocasius because it shares a similar habitus and male palpal structure with the generotype and its congeners. However, it possesses the median septum, prominent, spherical spermathecae, and lacks epigynal hoods that are different from the female of those species. And so, the generic position of the species needs further confirmation.	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).

A900954A8A47FF8FA5C16EAFFD333EE8.taxon	discussion	Comments Yaginumaella and Ptocasius are currently placed into the subtribe Plexippina (Maddison 2015; Metzner 2023), and their relationship has always been controversial (Li et al. 2018). In the present work, we provisionally place Ptocasius subhubeiensis sp. nov. into the genus because it closely resembles P. hubeiensis (Li, Wang, Irfan & Peng, 2018). However, the latter was originally placed in Yaginumaella, and it was transferred together with 36 congeners by Patoleta et al. (2020) only based on the similarity of the copulatory organs. Moreover, it shares a consistent habitus with species of Yaginumaella rather than the Ptocasius generotype and its congeners. And so, the generic position of those 37 species and P. subhubeiensis may need further confirmation.	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).

A900954A8A36FFFDA65C6DB4FBFF394D.taxon	discussion	Comments According to the morphological feature, Thyene should be polyphyletic. Some Asian species of Thyene, such as T. bivittata, T. calebi, T. orientalis, T. typica, T. yuxiensis and T. xingrenensis sp. nov. could be separated into a new genus, or at least should be divided into a group because some unique features which are different from the generotype and its congeners, such as they have the sub-square carapace, which lacks anterior-lateral long setae, the bifurcated retromarginal cheliceral fissidentate tooth, short embolus coiled less than two circles, pair of epigynal hoods, and the consistent copulatory ducts which forming ridges medially and several coils terminally (vs the carapace mostly oval, having a pair of anterolateral long setae, and expanding anterior-laterally in males, just having one retromarginal cheliceral tooth, embolus coiled at least two circles, lacking epigynal hood and with copulatory ducts not forming ridges in generotype and its congeners; see Deeleman-Reinhold 2010: figs 148 – 162; Metzner 2022). Moreover, Thyene zhangi (Peng, Yin, Yan & Kim, 1998) comb. nov., and T. bilaguncula (Xie & Peng, 1995) comb. nov. are transferred from Plexippoides Prószyński, 1984 and Ptocasius Simon, 1885, respectively, because they are consistent with the above-mentioned species in having a very similar habitus, epigyne, and a bifurcated retromarginal cheliceral fissidentate tooth.	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).

It also somewhat resembles that of T. yuxiensis Xie & Peng, 1995 in the general shape of the palp, but it can be easily distinguished by the tegular flap, which is directed towards 9: 00 o’clock position in ventral view (Fig. 48 B), whereas about 12: 00 o’clock position in T. yuxiensis (Xie & Peng 1995: fig. 4 b). The female also resembles T. orientalis in the general shape of epigyne, but differs in the epigynal hood, which is triangular (Fig. 49 A), whereas slit-shaped in T. orientalis (Fig. 51 A).	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).

However, it is certain that our current knowledge does not represent the true diversity of Chinese jumping spiders, as most of the Chinese regions remains poorly studied and taxonomic studies are very limited. The taxonomic study of jumping spiders from Xishuangbanna is a convincing example. Before 2016, Xishuangbanna, like most regions of China, was known only from several sporadic described species, but thanks to the conduction of “ All Species Inventory ” of spiders from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, the number of known species in this region has risen to 145, including 58 new to science. According to the prediction of the eventual total number of Chinese spider species by Li (2020), the true diversity of Chinese jumping spiders will reach ca 1500 species. It might be expected most of them will be discovered in southern China, especially the tropical area and southwest mountain area. Among those, some large tribes, and some leaf-litter dwellers genera will present a very high diversity.	en	Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiao-Qi, Wang, Wei-Hang, Gan, Jia-Hui, Irfan, Muhammad, Zhong, Yang, Peng, Xian-Jin (2023): Notes on twenty-nine species of jumping spiders from South China (Araneae: Salticidae).
