Material examined.
Holotype ♂ (IZCAS-Ar41604), China, Anhui Province, Lujiang County, Yefu Mountain National Forest Park; 31.5674°N, 117.5593°E; 170 m; 3 Jul. 2018; Hongrui Zhao leg. Paratypes 2 ♀ (IZCAS-Ar41605, IZCAS-Ar41606); China, Anhui Province, Lujiang County, Yefu Mountain National Forest Park; 31.2694°N, 117.2703°E; 50 m; 5 Sept. 2020; Ziyi Wang leg.
Diagnosis.
The male of this new species resembles the male of Sinopoda tengchongensis Fu & Zhu, 2008 ( Fu and Zhu 2008: 63, figs 1-5; Grall and Jäger 2020: 66, fig. 43a-c) in having the analogous conductor and embolus, but the new species can be recognized by the following: the distal part of vRTA is wider than the basal part in retrolateral view in this new species (Fig. 1A-D View Figure 1 ) but equal in width in S. tengchongensis ; the tip of the embolus apophysis is flagelliform in the new species but flat in S. tengchongensis . The females of this new species are similar to Sinopoda aequalis Zhong, Jäger, Chen & Liu, 2019 ( Zhong et al 2019: 8, figs 4D, E, 6A-D) in having the anterior part of the internal ducts similar and S. tengchongensis Fu & Zhu, 2008 ( Fu and Zhu 2008: 63, figs 1-5; Grall and Jäger 2020: 66, fig. 43a-c) in having similar lateral lobes, but can be recognized by the following: the lobal septum is sharper than in S. aequalis and S. tengchongensis ; the new species has blunt, swollen glandular appendages but in S. aequalis the glandular appendages are slender and longer; the posterior part of internal duct system as wide as the middle part of internal ducts (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ) in the new species, while the posterior part of internal duct system swollen and much wider than the internal ducts in S. aequalis ; the internal duct system is fused along whole median line in the new species but the anterior part is not fused in S. tengchongensis .
Description.
Male (holotype, IZCAS-Ar41604) Measurements: PL 9.3, PW 8.8; AW 3.8; OL 9.9, OW 5.5. Eyes: AME 0.40, ALE 0.42, PME 0.39, PLE 0.59, AME-AME 0.37, AME-ALE 0.09, PME-PME 0.39, PME-PLE 0.29, AME-PME 0.47, ALE-PLE 0.26, CHAME 0.27, CHALE 0.25. Palp: 12.34 (4.22, 2.04, 2.17, -, 3.91). Legs: I 34.06 (10.24, 3.55, 9.98, 6.84, 3.45); II 38.95 (10.81, 3.58, 10.62, 10.49, 3.45); III 28.77 (8.57, 3.45, 7.61, 6.65, 2.49); IV 26.99 (7.29, 2.68, 7.55, 6.59, 2.88). Leg formula: II-I-III-IV. Spination: Palp: 131 101 - 1100. Legs: Fe I-IV 232 Pa I-IV 101, Ti I-III 2326, IV 2337, Mt I-III 0004, IV 2025. Chelicerae: Furrow with four anterior teeth, four posterior teeth, and 27 denticles.
Palp: as in diagnosis. The ratio of the length of the cymbium to the length of the tibia is approximately 2:1. The cymbium furrow is as long as 1/3 of the cymbium. The tip of the embolus apophysis is slightly pointy. Embolus S-shaped, arising from tegulum at nearly the 6- o’clock-position in ventral view. Conductor arising at 1- o’clock-position from tegulum, elongated, slightly bent. Spermophor slightly S-shaped. RTA arising basally from tibia; base of RTA with a brush of setae. vRTA smaller than dRTA, trapezoidal in retrolateral view. dRTA longer than tibia (Fig. 1A-D View Figure 1 ).
Coloration in ethanol: yellowish. Prosoma: dorsally yellowish, lateral margins dark with yellowish submarginal transverse interval. Labium and gnathocoxae light brownish. Fovea and radial furrow distinctly marked. Sternum yellowish, with margin yellowish brown. Chelicerae deep reddish brown. Legs: yellowish with dark spots. Opisthosoma: dorsally dark khaki covered with dark hairs; ventrally khaki with irregular pattern. Spinnerets yellowish brown (Fig. 1E, F View Figure 1 ).
Female (paratype, IZCAS-Ar41605) Measurements: PL 8.84, PW 8.39; AW 4.87; OL 9.42, OW 5.51. Eyes: AME 0.3, PME 0.4, ALE 0.55, PLE 0.5, AME-AME 0.37, AME-ALE 0.15, PME-PME 0.57, PME-PLE 0.67, AME-PME 0.52, ALE-PLE 0.6, CHAME 0.17, CHALE 0.45. Palp: 8.5 (2.49, 0.64, 2.11, -, 3.26). Legs: I 27.66 (7.62, 2.62, 7.75, 7.11, 2.56); II 30.42 (8.58, 2.69, 8.9, 7.69, 2.56); III 25.35 (7.24, 2.43, 7.17, 6.02, 2.49); IV 27.86 (7.43, 2.56, 7.82, 7.3, 2.75). Leg formula: II-IV-I-III. Spination: Palp: 131 101 303 2222. Legs: Fe 323, IV 333, Pa 101, Ti I-III 1018, IV 2026, Mt I-III 0004, IV 2026. Chelicerae: Furrow with three anterior teeth, four posterior teeth, and 23 denticles.
Copulatory organ: as in diagnosis. Epigynal field wider than long, with two short anterior bands close to the field. Lateral lobes fused. Lobal septum and lateral lobes almost triangular. Glandular appendages are slender and long, the posterior part of internal duct system swollen. Internal ducts half as wide as the epigynal field. Fertilization ducts arising posteriorly. Unexpanded membranous sac between fertilization ducts (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ).
Coloration in ethanol: as in male (Fig. 9A, B View Figure 9 ).
