Morphological and molecular evidence gives insight into the taxonomic position of (Apiaceae, Selineae).

In this study, morphological and molecular evidences were combined to determine the taxonomic position of Hand.-Mazz. Morphologically, is similar to the species of the genus in having fibrous remnant sheaths at the stem base, pinnate and linear coexisted bracts, strongly compressed dorsally mericarps, filiform median and lateral ribs, winged marginal ribs, numerous vittae in each furrow and commissure, but can also be easily distinguished from members of by its hispid fruit and linear-lanceolate bracteoles.

Further study of two Chinese cave spiders (Araneae, Mysmenidae), with description of a new genus.

The current paper expands knowledge of two Chinese cave spider species originally described in the genus Gertsch, 1960: Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009 and Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009. With the exception of these two species, the genus is endemic to the western hemisphere, and new evidence presented here supports the creation of a new genus for the Chinese species, which we name The male of is described for the first time. Detailed illustrations of the habitus, male palps and epigyne are provided for these two species, as well as descriptions of their webs.
