Abstract

One more new species of the genus ChaerilusSimon, 1877 is described from Hon Ba Nature Reserve, which is located about 60 km to the south-west of Nha Trang, in the Khanh Hoa Province in the south of Vietnam. The new species is placed in the variegatus Species Group and compared with other Chaerilus species previously described from Vietnam. Relationships are discussed with Chaerilus longimanusKovařík & Lowe, 2015, also described from the Nha Trang region. As in previous studies, the present one suggests that different species of Chaerilus are not strongly morphologically distinct but rather correspond with micro-endemic populations. Future molecular studies should provide further evidence for or against this hypothesis.
