20 new species named May 18–19: a smiling Himalayan spider, two hidden reef doctors, and water bears from Vietnam

Between 18 and 19 May 2026, taxonomists formally described or registered 20 new species across five kingdoms — led by Theridion himalayana, a polymorphic Himalayan spider with 32 colour morphs that independently evolved the same smiling face pattern as a Hawaiian cousin 8,000 km away. Other highlights include two overlooked cleaner wrasse species, a fossorial snake from Mizoram, a new leafhopper genus from Chinese waxberry trees, three fungi, and four microscopic water bears from Vietnam.
