The gnaphosid genus Xizangia Song,Zhu&Zhang,2004 was described to house Callilepis linzhiensis Hu,2001(the type species)and a new species,Xizangia rigaze Song,Zhu&Zhang,2004.They also synonymized Scotophaeus himalayaensis Hu,2001 with the newly combined taxon Xizangia linzhiensis.The World Spider Catalog(2022)considers these two taxa to comprise the currently known diversity of the genus.However,we recently detected this genus name is a homonym and thereby propose a replacement name for the preoccupied genus in this work,in accordance with Article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature(ICZN,1999).
