Brignoliolus Ovchinnikov, 1999: 74 (as a subgenus of Coelotes Blackwall, 1841 ). Type species. Coelotes turkestanicus Ovchinnikov, 1999 by original designation. Diagnosis. Predominantly medium-sized (body length mostly 5–10 mm ) pale-colored coelotine spiders with an elongate apical segment of the posterior lateral spinnerets. Brignoliolus differs from Coelotes by a lighter overall colouration and a longer and thinner apical segment of the posterior lateral spinnerets that 3–5 times as long as wide, and 1.15–1.6 times longer than preceding segment ( vs . respectively 2–2.5 times, and nearly equal in length to the latter in Coelotes ; Figs 12–14 , 28, 30 ; Fomichev 2021 , fig. 1C cf . Fig. 8 ; Murphy & Roberts 2015, p. 282, pl. 85), as well as by the distinctive shape of the epigyne with long to very long teeth located anteriorly ( vs . laterally) from the anterior margin of the fovea, and with trapezoidal or sandglass fovea ( vs . rectangular) (please refre to figures see relatively Figs 6 and 9, 10 , 25 , 29 ). Additionally, the species of Coelotes which are related to the generotype, C . atropos (Walckenaer, 1830) possess the well-defined colulus, while in Brignoliolus spp. the colulus is poorly discernible ( Fig. 8 cf . Figs 14 , 30 ). Note . The principal structure of the male palp in Brignoliolus is indistinguishable from that in Coelotes ( Figs 2–4 cf . Figs 16–23 ). Description. See Ovchinnikov (1999) . Composition. Brignoliolus arganoi ( Brignoli, 1978 ) comb. nov. ; B . caudatus (de Blauwe, 1973 ) comb. nov. ; B . charitonovi ( Spassky, 1939 ) comb. nov. ; B . coenobita ( Brignoli, 1978 ) comb. nov. ; B . juglandicola ( Ovchinnikov, 1984 ) comb. nov. ; B . nenilini ( Ovchinnikov, 1999 ) comb. nov. ; B . ovchinnikovi sp. nov. ; B . turkestanicus ( Ovchinnikov, 1999 ) comb. nov. ; B . vignai ( Brignoli, 1978 ) comb. nov. Distribution. From northwestern Anatolia ( Turkey ) to the Tarbagatai Mountains ( Kazakhstan ), and from the Orenburg steppes ( Russia ) in the north to the Upper Galilee ( Israel ) in the south ( Ovchinnikov 1999 ; Mikhailov 2022 ; Nentwig et al . 2024 ). Distribution of some species and their type localities are incorrectly shown in Wang & Zhu (2009) and therefore we are providing a map showing all distributional records of all species of the genus.
