Abstract
In an ongoing effort to expand knowledge of the Chinese cobweb spider fauna (Theridiidae), the genus Meotipa Simon, 1894 is reviewed. Two new species are described, Meotipa pseudopicturatasp. nov., Meotipa striatasp. nov., and five known species are redescribed: Meotipa argyrodiformis (Yaginuma, 1952), Meotipa pulcherrima (Mello-Leitão, 1917), Meotipa picturata Simon, 1895, Meotipa spiniventris (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1869), and Meotipa vesiculosa Simon, 1895.
