Pronoides brunneus Schenkel, 1936.	en	Zhang, Xiao-Xiao, Zhang, Feng, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2010): A review of the Asian orb weaving spider genus Pronoides (Araneae: Araneidae). Zootaxa 2642 (1): 59-67, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2642.1.6, URL: https://biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.2642.1.6
03CA4C5BFFE0FFFDFF6913D0FD99F49D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Pronoides can be recognized by the following characters: carapace about 1.2 times longer than its width; female, juvenile and adult, abdomen with a pair of obvious anterior humps dorsally (Figs. 1, 10); epigynal plate with a depression on each lateral side (Figs. 2, 11); male femora I with more than six prolateral macrosetae (Figs. 6, 16); palpal embolus strongly curved and L-shaped in prolateral view (Figs. 9, 13). Pronoides is similar to Pronous Keyserling, 1881 in the arrangement of eyes, but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characters: the PMEs are far from the PLEs, while the PMEs are near to PLEs in Pronous (Schenkel 1936, Levi 1995); the fourth legs are shorter than the first legs, while the fourth legs are longer than the first legs in Pronous (Levi 1995); epigynum with scape, while a scape is absent from the epigynum of Pronous (Levi 1995). Pronoides is similar to Cnodalia Thorell, 1890 in body shape, but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characters: abdomen longer than wide, while abdomen wider than long in Cnodalia; epigynal scape longer than that of Cnodalia; male femora I with more than six prolateral macrosetae, while with two or three prolateral macrosetae in Cnodalia.	en	Zhang, Xiao-Xiao, Zhang, Feng, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2010): A review of the Asian orb weaving spider genus Pronoides (Araneae: Araneidae).

03CA4C5BFFE0FFFDFF6913D0FD99F49D.taxon	description	Description. Carapace yellow brown, pear-shaped, longer than wide. Cephalic region raised. Both eye rows recurved, posterior eye row wider than anterior one. MOA trapezoidal, wider than long, narrower in front than in back; PMEs largest. Clypeal height is larger than AME diameter. Labium wider than long. Sternum shield-shaped, longer than wide. Legs strong, with a few macrosetae. Leg formula: 1243. Abdomen longer than wide, with a pair of anterior humps dorsally in females. Epigynal scape short and ligulate. Spermathecae one pair, large and spherical. Male smaller, abdominal dorsum lacking a pair of anterior humps. Palpal patella with two long macrosetae; conductor membranous, median apophysis large, with a distal hook. Composition. The genus Pronoides comprises two species, P. brunneus Schenkel, 1936 and P. sutaiensis n. sp., both distributed in the eastern Palaearctic. Pronoides ampliabdominis Song, Zhang & Zhu, 2006 was described based on a single female holotype collected from Fanjing Mountains, Guizhou Province, China. To date, no male has been found. After reexamining the female holotype (deposited in MHBU, Hebei Province), we found its abdomen wider than long, a short epigynal scape with lateral rim, and in particular, legs I and II with extremely long prolateral tarsal claws. All of these characters conform to the diagnosis of Cnodalia, not Pronoides. We therefore transfer this species to Cnodalia, and form a new combination, Cnodalia ampliabdominis (Song, Zhang & Zhu, 2006) new comb., see note below.	en	Zhang, Xiao-Xiao, Zhang, Feng, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2010): A review of the Asian orb weaving spider genus Pronoides (Araneae: Araneidae).

03CA4C5BFFE3FFF8FF6911DAFDA9F70E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In his list of specimens, Schenkel (1936) did not explicitly designate a holotype for P. brunneus, and all specimens collected during the 1930 expedition could possibly be syntypes. But according to his description, we deduced P. brunneus to be originally described based on a female juvenile from “ K 8 ”, i. e. China, Gansu Province, “ Tan-chang, Acker am Gebirgshang ”. In his original description, Schenkel identified detailed somatic characters, e. g. cephalothorax is about 1.5 times as long as wide; MOA is trapezoidal; PMEs is largest; both eye rows are recurved; sternum is shield-shaped; chelicerae have three retromarginal teeth; leg formula is 1243; and the peculiar, abdomen has two obvious anterior humps dorsally. All these characters fit the diagnostic characters of P. brunneus. Hu (1984) identified as P. brunneus the adult female specimens he collected from Shaanxi and Gansu (the type locality). Subsequently, Yin et al. (1997) also described P. brunneus from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Sichuan Provinces, and they described the male of this species for the first time. Geographically, the Chinese distribution areas are widespread. Additionally, P. brunneus is a common and often collected species in China. We have collected a large number of P. brunneus specimens from various areas of China, e. g. Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Guizhou, Hebei, Fujian and Guangxi Provinces. We base our identifications of adult P. brunneus specimens on the descriptions by Hu (1984) and Yin et al. (1997) which we believe accurately follow and expand Schenkel’s description of the juvenile.	en	Zhang, Xiao-Xiao, Zhang, Feng, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2010): A review of the Asian orb weaving spider genus Pronoides (Araneae: Araneidae).

03CA4C5BFFE5FFFBFF69152FFDC3F2B5.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The genus Pronoides has a close relationship with the genus Gasteracantha, according to Yin et al.

We agree with Tanikawa’s opinion and here provide accurate illustrations and detailed character descriptions of two Pronoides species to advance the phylogenetic studies of this family.	en	Zhang, Xiao-Xiao, Zhang, Feng, Zhu, Ming-Sheng (2010): A review of the Asian orb weaving spider genus Pronoides (Araneae: Araneidae).
