Abstract
Platybunoides Šilhavý, 1955, currently included in the subfamily Platybuninae Staręga, 1976, is reassigned to Phalangiinae Latreille, 1802 for the absence of ventral spur in proximal segment of chelicerae, the absence of ventral thorns on pedipalpal femur, and the presence of distomesal bump on pedipalpal patella and tibia. A new species, Platybunoides songi sp. nov., from Liupan Mountain, Ningxia, China, is described and can be recognized by having a large ocularium, unarmed pedipalps, hairs being restricted to ventral femur, and the presence of a small bump distally on prolateral femur.
