Abstract

The gnaphosid spider Coillina baka Yin & Peng, 1998, originally described from Yunnan, China is newly recorded from Chin State, Myanmar. While its holotype (male) was the only known record of the spider so far, the female is described and illustrated herein for the first time. The detailed structures of the male palp and female genitalia of this species are depicted, and its possible relationship with some species of Synaphosus Platnick & Shadab, 1980 is briefly discussed.
