Etymology.

The species is named after Mr Chao Wu, the collector of the holotype male; noun (name) in genitive case.

Diagnosis.

The males can be easily distinguished by the length of the palpal tibia which is almost equal to the length of the cymbium; simple embolic tip with ETA (Fig. 21B View Figure 21 ); embolus coiling almost 3300° around MA. Epigyne with a well-developed, subtriangular median plate, obscureing CO, and CD with 9 turns (Fig. 14 View Figure 14 ).

Chelicerae with four promarginal and six retromarginal teeth. Leg measurements: leg I: damaged, leg II: damaged, leg III: (6.92 + 6.86 +? + 1.44), leg IV: 21.82 (6.91 + 7.18 + 6.35 + 1.38).

Male palp (Figs 14 View Figure 14 , 21A View Figure 21 ). Cymbium hemispherical; tegulum flat, obscured by embolic coils; embolus long and strongly coiled, originating at five o’clock and coiling 3300° around MA. MA large, with two lobes.

Female paratype (Figs 13B, E, F View Figure 13 , 15 View Figure 15 ). Total length 14.60, carapace 6.28 long, 4.10 wide, opisthosoma 9.29 long, 3.72 wide.

Chelicerae with four promarginal and 8-13 retromarginal teeth (8(n = 1), 10(n = 1), 13(n = 1)). Leg measurements: Leg I: 39.82 (12.11 + 11.67 + 13.01 + 3.03), leg II: 36.81 (11.47 + 11.79 + 10.83 + 2.72), leg III: 23.53 (9.47 + 6.79 + 5.83 + 1.44), leg IV: 21.71 (7.18 + 7.76 + 5.70 + 1.07). Leg formula: 1234.

Epigyne (Fig. 15 View Figure 15 ) with a median plate, obscuring CO, CD with 9 turns, S oval, SpD is consistently thin.

Distribution.

China (Yunnan).

Note.

The male died during ecdysis so some legs are damaged or curled, and the palps are expanded.
