03C587AB0335EB35FDAFDB60CA516F34.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new generic name is a combination of the Latin word ‘ solitudo ’ (wilderness) which reflects its habitat, and ‘ Drassodes ’ (a genus of Gnaphosidae). The gender is masculine. Diagnosis. Same as for the subfamily. Description (Figs 1 – 2). Medium-sized. Carapace oval, covered with white hair, tapering anteriorly. AME largest, ALE smallest, AER recurved, PER procurved. Fovea distinct. Body covered by white setae. Legs covered with white hair; tarsus (including palp) curved, claws not pectinated. Leg scopulae with spatulate hair ventrally; tarsus longer than metatarsus in leg I and leg II but opposite in leg III and leg IV; tarsi IV with 2 dorsal spines, dorsal scopula of tarsus IV dense. Epigyne (Figs 2 A – B) triangular, with wide M-shaped hood. Copulatory opening unobvious. Copulatory ducts short. Two pairs of spermathecae; primary spermathecae longer than wide, secondary spermathecae oval. Fertilization ducts posteriorly directed. Type species. Solitudes dushengi sp. nov. Distribution. The genus is currently known only from the type locality of the type species.	en	Lin, Yejie, Li, Shuqiang (2020): Description on Solitudes dushengi gen. et sp. nov. from Xinjiang, China (Araneae: Gnaphosidae).

03C587AB0335EB35FDAFDA0CCAE76916.taxon	materials_examined	Type genus. Solitudes gen. nov. Diagnosis. This new subfamily is similar to the subfamily Drassodinae Simon, 1893 in eyes size, habitus and chelicera, but can be distinguished by the absence of a deep notch on trochanter IV (vs. present in Drassodinae); by habitus, with the body and legs covered with dense white seate (vs. sparse short setae in Drassodinae); leg I and leg II, with the tarsus longer than metatarsus (vs. shorter in Drassodinae); scopulae consisting of spatulate hair reaching the middle of tarsus (vs. tenent setae in Drassodinae); leg III and leg IV, with tarsus curved with a long claw and lacking serration (vs. straight and claws short, with serration in Drassodinae) and leg IV tarsus with spines present (vs. absent in Drassodinae).	en	Lin, Yejie, Li, Shuqiang (2020): Description on Solitudes dushengi gen. et sp. nov. from Xinjiang, China (Araneae: Gnaphosidae).
