Recently, Zhang Zhisheng's research team at Southwest University discovered two new spider species for the first time in Jinyun Mountain, Beibei District. Professor Zhang introduced that the team collected these two spider specimens in 2010, because the ovate spider is small, less than 3 mm, and the identification is difficult. Subsequently, after cooperating with the team of Professor Tong Yanfeng of Shenyang Normal University and Li Shuqiang, a researcher at the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the two spiders were confirmed to be new species. The results were published in the European Journal of Taxonomy at the end of April this year, and two new species are also included in the World Spider List. It is understood that most species of oval spiders are covered with hard shells on the surface, and the hard shells on the back of the abdomen and the ventral surface are called the dorsal plate and the web plate respectively, and the two are separated at the rear end on both sides, which is called the spider "wearing a cheongsam". The body is mostly orange and brown. Most species have 6 eyes, some species have 4 eyes or no eyes.
