Description

Female (Holotype). Body: pale yellow, abdomen and legs yellowish-white; habitus as in Fig. 1 A-C; length 1.64. Carapace (Fig. 1 D and F): 0.70 long, 0.59 wide; pars cephalica strongly elevated in lateral view, surface of elevated portion and sides of pars cephalica finely reticulate. Eyes (Fig. 1 D and F): ALE 0.052; PME 0.042; PLE 0.039; posterior eye row procurved from both above and front; ALE separated by less than radius. Clypeus (Fig. 1 F): margin unmodified, straight in front view, sloping forward in lateral view. Mouthparts (Fig. 1 E and F): chelicerae unmodified; endites distally not excavated, serrula present in single row. Sternum (Fig. 1 E): as long as wide, surface finely reticulate, with small inter-coxal, triangular extensions for coxae III and IV. Abdomen (Fig. 1 A-C): 0.94 long, 0.60 wide; dorsal scutum very small and narrow, covering about 1⁄2 of abdomen length, 1⁄6 of abdomen width, not fused to epigastric scutum; postepigastric scutum small, widely hexagonal, only around epigastric furrow. Legs (Fig. 1 A and B): femur I additionally with 1 long prolateral spine. Epigastric area (Fig. 1 G, H and J): with small triangular anterior sclerite (as), situated in middle of epigastric area; with pair of wing-shaped posterior scutal ridge (psr). Endogyne (Fig. 1 I): with anterior triangular sclerotised structure (tss); copulatory duct (cd) long and narrow with slightly broadened tip reaching beyond posterior groove; apodemes (ap) short.

Male: unknown.

Diagnosis

The new species is similar to Camptoscaphiella panchthar Baehr, 2010, but can be distinguished by the very small dorsal scutum of abdomen (Fig. 1 A) vs. about 1/3 of abdomen width ( Baehr and Ubick (2010): fig. 291) and the wing-shaped posterior scutal ridge of epigastric region (Fig. 1 G) vs. lacking the scutal ridge, having instead a large pear-shaped median plate ( Baehr and Ubick (2010): figs. 297, 298).

Etymology

The specific epithet is derived from Chinese pinyin, " Camptoscaphiella hudie ", which means “butterfly”, referring to the wing-shaped posterior scutal ridge; noun in apposition.

Distribution

Known only from the type locality.
