摘要
Two new species of the genus Conothele Thorell 1878 of the trapdoor spider family Ctenizidae are described from India: Conothele giganticus, sp. nov. is described from the Ngengpui Wildlife Sanctuary, Mizoram in northeast India and C. khunthokhanbi sp. nov. is described from Manipur in northeast India. Like other known Indian Conothele species, these spiders are also strictly ground burrowing. Additional information on habitat and natural history is provided for both species.
