Eight cobweb spider species from China building detritus-based, bell-shaped retreats (Araneae, Theridiidae)

Eight cobweb spider species from China building detritus-based, bell-shaped retreats (Araneae, Theridiidae)

Eight cobweb spider species building a detritus-based, bell-shaped retreat from China are reported in the current paper, including five new Campanicola species and three known species: Campanicola anguilliformis Li & Liu, sp. nov., Campanicola falciformis Li & Liu, sp. nov.,...
