Draconarius xuae sp. nov.

(Figs 505-511, 550)

Type material: Holotype. ♀, CHINA: Yunnan: Gongshan County: along Dulong Valley Road about 38-41 km , N27°47'8", E98°31'41.5", 2800-2900 m, September 23, 2002, X. Xu & CM. Yin ( HNU, CASENT9025808 ) .

Etymology: The specific name is in honour of Xiang Xu at HNU who collected the holotype specimen; noun in genitive case.

Diagnosis: Females can be easily recognized by the posteriorly situated epigynal hoods, the distinct atrium, and the broad, closely set copulatory ducts that cover most of the spermathecal tubes in dorsal view (Figs 505-508).

Description: Female (holotype). Large sized Coelotinae (Fig. 509). Total length 12.45. Dorsal shield of prosoma 6.25 long, 4.60 wide; opisthosoma 6.20 long, 4.50 wide. Eyes subequal in size, with AME and PME slightly smaller than lateral eyes ( AME 0.20, ALE 0.22, PME 0.19, PLE 0.22); anterior eyes equally separated by slightly more than half of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by approximately their diameter, widely separated from PLE by about 1.5 times PME diameter (AME-AME 0.13, AME-ALE 0.13, PME-PME 0.20, PME-PLE 0.32, AME-PME 0.22) (Fig. 510). Labium slightly longer than wide ( L / W =1.10) (Fig. 511). Promargin of chelicera with 3 teeth, retromargin with 2. Epigynal teeth short, arising anterolaterally of atrium and widely separated from each other by slightly more than atrial width; atrium small, but distinct, wider than long, with a small tongue-shaped piece in anterior part of atrium; anterior atrial margin distinct; epigynal hoods situated posteriorly close to epigastric furrow, at same level as anterior atrial margin and epigynal teeth; copulatory ducts broad, originating posteriorly between spermathecae, extending anteriorly and covering most of spermathecae in dorsal view; spermathecae with small, round bases, which are widely separated by at least their width; spermathecal stalks extending, converging, and closely set anteriorly; spermathecal head arising anteriorly and extending laterally (Figs 505-508).

Male. Unknown.

Distribution: China (Yunnan: Gongshan) (Fig. 550).
