Philates grammicus Simon, 1900 from Philippines by original designation. Comments. The genus Philates is belonging to the tribe Ballini and is represented by ten species distributed from Southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea ( Maddison 2015 ; WSC 2022 ). A recent re-defined of the genus was also provided by Benjamin (2004) , who diagnosed the genus by the absence of carapace protuberance, and the presence of leaf-like setae ventrally on tibiae I. However, certainly, the genus definition is too broad and that has also been noted by Benjamin (2004) , who mentioned the Papuan New Guinea species could be divided into another genus. Herein, a proper definition of the genus is not discussed, and we placed Philates zhoui sp. nov. into the genus due to it possesses the leaf-like setae ventrally on tibiae I and shares a similar carapace shape with the generotype.
