Males of O. tongbiguan sp. nov. resemble O. dian Lu & Li, 2023 in having a similar shaped embolus and a distally sclerotized conductor, but can be distinguished from the latter by: 1) the retrolateral tibial apophysis bifurcated basally (Figs 2 C, 4 C; vs. apically bifurcated in O. dian, see Lu et al. 2023: figs 5 C, 6 C); and 2) embolus originating at 8 - o’clock position ventrally (Figs 2 B, 4 B; vs. at 9 - o’clock position in O. dian, see Lu et al. 2023: figs 5 B, 6 B). Females are most similar to the females of O. shaanxi Li & Yao, 2023 in possessing a membranous epigynal window and spherical spermathecae, but differs by: 1) the width of the epigynal window about 1.5 times its height (Figs 3 A, 4 D; vs. width about 3 times its height in O. shaanxi, see Chu et al. 2023 a: fig. 2 A); 2) copulatory ducts narrow (Figs 3 B, 4 E; vs. wide in O. shaanxi, see Chu et al. 2023 a: fig. 2 B).	en	Zhang, Haibin, Mu, Yannan, Zhang, Feng (2025): Two new species and a new synonym of Oedignatha Thorell, 1881 from China (Araneae: Liocranidae).

03D487F5EB2CFFF0FF2C7502FD8DFB83.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Based on the descriptions and accompanying figures of Koppe ninger Chu & Li, 2023 (Chu et al. 2023 b: figs 1 – 2) and Oedignatha dian (Lu et al. 2023: figs 3 – 4), it is evident that the former and the latter refer to the same species. Therefore, we consider K. ninger to be a junior synonym of O. dian.	en	Zhang, Haibin, Mu, Yannan, Zhang, Feng (2025): Two new species and a new synonym of Oedignatha Thorell, 1881 from China (Araneae: Liocranidae).
