This paper provides a morphological description of a newly recorded species from Taiwan, Cheiracanthium insigne O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1874, based on newly collected materials. Both male and female C. insigne specimens are analysed, redescribed, and photographed. We applied DNA barcoding validation for matching sexes and reviewed taxonomic issues of C. insigne with other related species. The results of maximum likelihood tree and Kimura two-parameter genetic distance confirm the correct matching of male and female C. insigne specimens from Taiwan (mean intraspesific distance as 1.15%). In addition, the phylogenetic analysis suggests that previous female specimens of Cheiracanthium triviale from Assam, India, could potentially be conspecific to C. insigne from Taiwan. |
