03EF7869FFA3FFD3FF65F8B1FCEF436C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species resembles Mallinella yadong Wang, Mu, Lu, Xu & Zhang, 2024 in having a similarly shaped tegular apophysis, retrolateral tibial apophysis, conductor, epigynal plate and copulatory duct (see Wang et al. 2024: 57, figs 8 A – F, 9 A – B), but the male can be distinguished by: 1) the presence of a mesal ridge on tegular apophysis (Figs 10 B – C, 11 B – C vs. with a mesal ridge and a meso-retrolateral fold in M. yadong); 2) tegular apophysis with triangular basal tooth and sharp apex in ventral view (Figs 10 B, 11 B, vs. trapezoid, with a rounded apex in ventral view in M. yadong); 3) mesal branch of embolus shorter than lateral one (Figs 10 A, 11 A, vs. lateral branch shorter than mesal one in M. yadong). The female differs from M. yadong by: 1) the presence of a triangular elevation on posterior margin of epigynal plate (Figs 10 D, 11 D, vs. the posterior margin smooth, without elevation in M. yadong); 2) tubular spermatheca with a length about three times its width (Figs 10 E, 11 E, vs. oval, length about 1.5 times its width in M. yadong).	en	Zhang, Haibin, Li, Qingliang, Yang, Zizhong, Zhang, Feng (2025): Description of five new species of Zodariidae Thorell, 1881 (Araneae) from Yunnan, China.
