Mallinella pingzhoui Lin & Li , sp. nov. ( Figs 78–79 View Figure 78 View Figure 79 , 82B View Figure 82 , 84G–H View Figure 84 )
Etymology. The species is named after Mr. Pingzhou Zhu; noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis. Males of the new species can be distinguished from all other cryptocera -group species except M. cryptocera Dankittipakul, Jocqué & Singtripop, 2012 and M. callicera Dankittipakul, Jocqué & Singtripop, 2012 by the filiform embolus. The new species can be distinguished from M. cryptocera and M. callicera by the sperm duct at the edge of the embolic base (vs. on the middle in M. cryptocera and M. callicera ). The female can be distinguished from all other cryptocera -group species by the straight anterior margin and strongly recurved posterior margin of the epigynal plate.
Description. Male (holotype). Total length 4.36; carapace 2.21 long, 1.60 wide, opisthosoma 2.15 long, 1.57 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.07, ALE 0.11, PME 0.10, PLE 0.11, AME–AME 0.06, AME–ALE 0.08, PME–PME 0.07, PME–PLE 0.18, AME–PME 0.13, ALE–PLE 0.04. Leg measurements: I 5.13 (1.36, 1.65, 1.11, 1.01), II 4.58 (1.25, 1.43, 1.07, 0.83), III 4.77 (1.27, 1.37, 1.31, 0.82), IV 6.33 (1.60, 1.86, 1.78, 1.09).
Coloration ( Fig. 84G View Figure 84 ). Carapace uniform orange-brown. Sternum reddish brown. Chelicerae brown. Coxae pale yellowish, other leg segments yellowish brown. Dorsum of opisthosoma sepia, mottled with numerous minute pale spots. Dorsal pattern: first and second pairs of spots fused, forming reniform patches; third and fourth pairs with two oblong patches followed by a series of median bands to posterior. Dorsal scutum orange-brown, edge sharply defined.
Palp ( Figs 78 View Figure 78 , 82B View Figure 82 ). Retrolateral tibial apophysis digitiform, ventral ramus longer and digitiform, dorsal ramus shorter and dentiform. Cymbial fold short, almost half of cymbium length. Tegular apophysis with apical ridge; anterior-prolateral fold triangular, with broad base, directed prolaterally. Sperm duct on ventral edge of embolic base. Embolic base almost oval, embolus filiform, arising at clock 8:30 position.
Female (IZCAS-Ar44085). Total length 5.57; carapace 2.22 long, 1.48 wide, opisthosoma 3.15 long, 2.16 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.07, ALE 0.10, PME 0.10, PLE 0.10, AME–AME 0.06, AME–ALE 0.09, PME–PME 0.07, PME–PLE 0.18, AME–PME 0.13, ALE–PLE 0.06. Leg measurements: I 4.70 (1.31, 1.58, 0.93, 0.88), II 4.01 (1.10, 1.24, 0.84, 0.83), III 4.38 (1.17, 1.32, 1.12, 0.77), IV 6.03 (1.45, 1.86, 1.62, 1.10).
Coloration ( Fig. 84H View Figure 84 ). Similar to that of male except paler.
Epigyne ( Fig. 79 View Figure 79 ). Median plate broad, anterior edge slightly curved and posterior edge strongly recurved, posterior margin slightly protruding over epigastric furrow. Spermathecae digitiform, longer than wide.
