Abstract

Three new species of Synaphosus Ovtsharenko, Levy et Platnick, 1994 are described from Southeast Asia: S. jaegeri sp. n. (♂♀, Laos), S. lehtineni sp. n. (♂♀, Sulawesi, Indonesia) and S. dubius sp. n. (♀, Thailand). Two species, S. femininis Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 and S. evertsi Ovtsharenko, Levy et Platnick, 1994 are redescribed. Synaphosus kris Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001, syn. n. known from Bali is synonymised with S. evertsi known from Ivory Coast. Synaphosus evertsi is reported from the Philippines for the first time.
