Linyphia waldea Chamberlin & Ivie, 1943: 27 (name for specimens identified by Emerton, 1882 as Linyphia clathrata ).

Material examined. Hubei: Luotian County, Tiantangzai National Forest Park, 31.11°N, 115.73°E, 946m, 26.ix.2009, X. Xu & H.J. Xie leg., 1M (CBEE); Liaoning: Fushun City, Qingyuan County, Dasuhe Town , Great lake ecological Station , 41.85°N, 124.94°E, 529m, 31.vii.2007, Y.F. Tong leg., 1M and 3FF ( SYNU) .

Diagnosis: This species is very similar to Neriene furtiva (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1871) . These two species can be distinguished from other Neriene species by the following combined characters: rather simple paracymbium without branches distally, distal suprategular apophysis with hook-shaped tip of dorsal arm but without membranous ventral tip, terminal apophysis with slightly more than three coils, semicircular atrium opening ( Figs 18–19 , 20 C–E). This species can be distinguished from N. furtiva by the following characters: 1, the embolus with small rounded appendage distally of spermduct-tooth N. clathrata ( Figs 18F , 19E ), but with large appendage in N. furtiva (Van Helsdingen, 1969) ; 2, the tip of terminal apophysis with many lappets in N. clathrata ( Figs 18E , 19D ), but not in N. furtiva (Van Helsdingen, 1969) ; 3, the tegulum conspicuously tapering to a point anteriorly in N. furtiva (Van Helsdingen, 1969) , but not conspicuous in N. clathrata ( Figs 18C , 19 B–C); 4, the atrium opening small in N. clathrata compared with N. furtiva ( Figs 18D, 18G , 20 C–D); 5, the dorsal wall of vulva not prolonged into a parmula, posterior margin nearly straight in N. clathrata ( Figs 18H , 20E ), but not in N. furtiva (Van Helsdingen, 1969) .

Description: See Van Helsdingen (1969). Distribution: China (Jilin, Hebei, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Yunnan, Heilongjiang, Shanxi, Gansu, Anhui, Hubei, Guizhou); Japan; North Korea; Europe; Siberia; North America ( Fig. 69 ).
