The genusConotheleThorell, 1878 belonging to the subfamily Ummidiinae of Halonoproctidae,can be distinguished from other genera of the family (except forUmmidia) by the presence of clavate trichobothria on the dorsal side of tarsi, and a saddle depression present on tibia Ⅲ. Morphologically,ConotheleandUmmidiaare undistinguishable, but theConothelecan be distinguished fromUmmidiaby the burrow behavior and the distribution: spiders ofConotheleoften construct a short and superficial burrow, parallel to the surface of ground or the tree trunk, the burrow ofUmmidiahaving a long and deep tunnel; spiders ofConotheledistributed in the Orient and Australasian regions,Ummidiadistributed in the America and Mediterranean regions. Presently, this genus including 30 species, 11 of which were found in China (WSC, 2021).
During the study of collections of MHBU, we found twoConothelespecies of Tibet. One of them isConothelelinzhiH. Liu, Xu, Zhang, F. Liu &Li, 2019, it is the firstConothelespecies described from Tibet, but known only from the female;here, this study reports the male ofC.linzhifor the first time.Another one is confirmed to be a new species:Conothelemedogasp. nov.. All measurements are in millimeters.
ConothelelinzhiH.Liu,Xu,Zhang,F.Liu&Li,2019(Fig.1a-g;Fig.2a-h)
Materialexamined2♂3♀,Baishuwang Garden, Bayi Town, Nyingchi City, Tibet, China, July 2002, leg. M. Zhu, Feng Zhang and Junxia Zhang (MHBU).
DiagnosisFemales ofC.linzhican be distinguished from other congeneric members by the large irregularly syncretic sigilla presents on the central sternum (Fig.2b), the distal part of stalks slightly Z-shaped and the terminal lobes of spermathecae hemisphere-shaped (Fig.2d); by the presence of long clavate setae on the ventral side of legs Ⅰ-Ⅲ (Fig.2f-h). Males morphologically resembleC.cangshan,C.deqinandC.taiwanensis, but can be distinguished fromC.cangshanandC.taiwanensisby a relatively slender palpal tibia without a proximal hump on the prolateral side; can be distinguished fromC.deqinby the fish-hook tooth at the tip of embolus not well-developed (Fig.1e-g).

Conothelemedogasp.nov.(Fig.3a-g)
MaterialexaminedHolotype♀. Dexing Town, 95.218 8 °E, 29.359 1 °N,1 900 m elev., Medog County, Nyingchi City, Tibet, China, 15 June 2020, leg. L. Yuan (MHBU).
EtymologyThe specific name is a noun refers to the type locality; noun (name) in apposition.
DiagnosisThe female of new species can be distinguished from otherConothelespecies by the terminal part of stalk thickening and coiled, the terminal lobes of spermathecae hemisphere-shaped (Fig.3e); by the corners of lateral edges of carapace slightly lower than the horizontal line of fovea (Fig.3a); can be distinguished fromC.linzhiby the absence of long clavate setae on the ventral side of legs Ⅰ-Ⅲ.
DistributionKnown only from the type locality.
锥螲蟷属Conothele隶属于盘腹蛛科Halonoproctidae潮螲蟷亚科Ummidiinae[1],其与同科其他属(除潮螲蟷属Ummidia)区别在于所有跗节背侧具有棒状听毛、第Ⅲ步足胫节背面具1马鞍形凹陷.该属与潮螲蟷属在形态上尚无法区分,但近年的分子系统学研究支持该2属各自的单系性[1].该属可与潮螲蟷属区别于巢穴形态与分布区域:锥螲蟷属的巢穴通常极浅,仅能容身,潮螲蟷属的巢穴有长而深的洞道;锥螲蟷属分布于东洋区至澳洲区,潮螲蟷属分布于美洲与地中海地区.锥螲蟷属蜘蛛营穴居生活,在土表或树干上做短而浅、仅能容身的巢穴,并在巢穴入口覆以可开合的丝盖.目前,该属已知30种,均分布于东洋区至澳洲区,其中,中国已报道11种[4].
经鉴定河北大学博物馆馆藏标本,发现了2种产于中国西藏地区的锥螲蟷.其中,一种为林芝锥螲蟷ConothelelinzhiH. Liu, Xu, Zhang, F. Liu & Li, 2019,但目前仅记录雌性[2],本文首次报道了林芝锥螲蟷的雄性.另一种经鉴定确定为1新种:墨脱锥螲蟷Conothelemedogasp. nov.,本文对其进行正式命名与描述.文中所有测量单位为mm.
