Some Asian species of Thyene , such as T. bivittata , T. calebi , T. orientalis , T. typica , T. yuxiensis and T. xingrenensis sp. nov. could be separated into a new genus, or at least should be divided into a group because some unique features which are different from the generotype and its congeners, such as they have the sub-square carapace, which lacks anterior-lateral long setae, the bifurcated retromarginal cheliceral fissidentate tooth, short embolus coiled less than two circles, pair of epigynal hoods, and the consistent copulatory ducts which forming ridges medially and several coils terminally (vs the carapace mostly oval, having a pair of anterolateral long setae, and expanding anterior-laterally in males, just having one retromarginal cheliceral tooth, embolus coiled at least two circles, lacking epigynal hood and with copulatory ducts not forming ridges in generotype and its congeners; see Deeleman-Reinhold 2010: figs 148–162; Metzner 2022). Moreover, Thyene zhangi (Peng, Yin, Yan & Kim, 1998) comb. nov. , and T. bilaguncula ( Xie & Peng, 1995 ) comb. nov. are transferred from Plexippoides Prószyński, 1984 and Ptocasius Simon, 1885 , respectively, because they are consistent with the above-mentioned species in having a very similar habitus, epigyne, and a bifurcated retromarginal cheliceral fissidentate tooth.
