Comments

. Unlike the typical Mangora species, the two new species in this region both lack trichobothria on the tibia of leg III, but they have some common characters with Mangora , such as the cephalic region of the carapace is about half the maximum width of the thoracic region, the palp with one patellar bristle, and the abdomen oval; thus, we place the two species in Mangora , and phylogenetic analysis will focus on the placement of the two new species.
