Abstract

Six species of the genus Notiocoelotes Wang, Xu & Li, 2008, including four species newly described here, are known from Hainan Island, China. These are: N. lingulatus Wang, Xu & Li, 2008 (female); N. membranaceus sp. nov. (male); N. orbiculatus sp. nov. (female, male); N. palinitropus (Zhu & Wang, 1994) (female, male); N. pseudolingulatus sp. nov. (female); and N. spirellus sp. nov. (female, male). All of these species are illustrated and taxonomically distinguished via a dichotomous key.
