50041E5C9F4E4145FF14FF54FDDDFB9D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of this species is similar to the European type species, C. laticeps (Canestrini, 1868), in having a similarly shaped cymbium and tegulum (Jin et al. 2017: 230, figs 3 A – D) but can be distinguished by: 1) the tegulum being longer than wide (vs. length and width subequal in C. laticeps); 2) the tegulum being approximately 2 / 3 the length of cymbium (vs. approximately 1 / 3 the length of cymbium in C. laticeps); 3) tegular apophysis non-curved (vs. distally curved dorsally in C. laticeps); 4) the embolus being approximately half the length of the tegulum (vs. slender, almost twice the length of the tegulum in C. laticeps). For diagnosis of the female see Jin et al. (2017).	en	Liu, Chang, Zhang, Feng (2025): First record of the male of Cetonana shaanxiensis Jin, Yin & Zhang, 2017 (Araneae: Trachelidae).

50041E5C9F4E4145FF14FF54FDDDFB9D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The conspecificity of the male and female specimens can be further confirmed by a genetic distance of 0.00 % between two specimens (♂ ♀) collected and sequenced from the same location. The number of cusps on the left legs of all specimens was examined (Table 1), with the exception of one specimen missing the left legs I and II, for which the right legs were inspected instead. When our cusp count data are combined with those of C. laticeps from Jin et al. (2017), it reveals that the number of cusps is not a reliable diagnostic character within the genus Cetonana Strand, 1929.	en	Liu, Chang, Zhang, Feng (2025): First record of the male of Cetonana shaanxiensis Jin, Yin & Zhang, 2017 (Araneae: Trachelidae).
