Etymology.
The specific epithet Sinopoda bigibba is a compound word of the prefix bi - for two and the Latin adjective gibbus, - a, - um meaning humped, derived from the form of female glandular appendages (Figs 1E, G View Figure 1 , 2E View Figure 2 ).
Diagnosis.
This species can be distinguished from other congeners by the combination of following characteristics: Male-embolus with membranous flange extended prolaterally; embolic apophysis tapered distally, with membranous flange slightly extended ventrally; vRTA slightly curved outwardly and distally tapered in ventral view, smooth obtuse-trapezoidal in retrolateral view. Female-posterior muscle sigillae on opisthosoma with pair of large ivory-colored marks; anterolateral margin of lateral lobes sinuous, posterior margin with pair of round humps; lobal septum triangular; glandular appendages very short, slightly protruded.

Coloration in ethanol.
(Fig. 3C, D View Figure 3 ): Generally same as male, but coloration darker with more distinct patterns, median portion of opisthosoma with pair of large ivory marks near posterior muscle sigillae.
Coloration of live specimen.

Distribution.
Republic of Korea (Is. Gukhwado, Is. Gureopdo, Is. Yamido, Taean-gun) (Fig. 15 View Figure 15 ).
Remarks.
The male of Sinopoda bigibba sp. nov. is similar to Sinopoda aequalis Zhong, Jäger, Chen & Liu, 2019 ( Zhong et al. 2019: 8, figs 4A-C, 5A-D) and Sinopoda brevis Zhong, Jäger, Chen & Liu, 2019 ( Zhong et al. 2019: 12, figs 10A-C, 11A-D) in having similar RTA. However, the new species can be distinguished from the latter by those following characters: 1) embolus broadened with membranous flange distally (consistently slender in S. aequalis and S. brevis ) and 2) embolic apophysis distally tapered (blunt in S. aequalis ).
The female of the new species is similar to S. brevis ( Zhong et al. 2019: 12, figs 10D, E, 12A, B) in having distinct sclerotized epigynal bulges and a posterior hump on the lateral lobe, but clearly distinguished by: 1) lobal septum wider (narrower in S. brevis ), 2) medial indentation vague or absent (distinct in S. brevis ), and 3) glandular appendages very short and nearly fused with anterior part of internal duct system (well-developed and distinctly separated with anterior part of internal duct system in S. brevis ).
