Description

See Song and Zhu (1991) for both sexes.

Distribution

Known from Jiangxi (new record, Fig. 3 ), Sichuan ( Song and Zhu 1991), Hubei ( Song and Zhu 1991, Lin et al. 2022) and Chongqing ( Lin et al. 2022), China.

Notes

The genus Rathalos Lin & Li, 2022 was established by Lin et al. (2022) based on the type species of Anyphaena xiushanensis . Besides the type locality, it has been recorded from bushes in diverse locations of Jiangxi, Sichuan and Hubei. It seems that widely distributed in southern China. This hypothesis will be confirmed or rejected in the future when more materials can be collected.
