Revision of the taxonomic status of two coelotine species (Araneae: Agelenidae) from Japan

Abstract

Taxonomic accounts of two species belonging to the subfamily Coelotinae from Japan are reviewed. Iwogumoa portus Nishikawa 2009 originally described from Osaka, Japan and Coelotes plancyi Simon 1880 described from Beijing, China are considered to be conspecific. Therefore the former is synonymized with the latter, and C. plancyi is transferred to the genus Iwogumoa Kishida 1955. Coelotes inabaensis Arita 1974 described from Tottori, Japan is placed under the genus Dichodactylus Okumura 2017.
