Crassignatha gudu Miller et al., 2009: 75, fig. 89C, D (♀).

Type material.

Holotype ♀ (HNU-CASENT 9029318), China: Yunnan Province, Longling County, Mangkuan Township, Zaotanghe at Baihualing Village, good subtropical broadleaf forest, dusting webs in understory (25.30450°N, 98.80059°E; 1635 m), 2.VI.2005, C. Griswold leg. Examined.

Diagnosis.

Crassignatha gudu can be easily distinguished from other congeners, except C. yamu and C. si sp. nov., by having a columnar atrium formed by the fusion of proximal copulatory ducts (Figs 11F , 31F , 35G ). Crassignatha gudu is most similar to C. yamu and C. si sp. nov. and has a similar vulva configuration but differs by the longer copulatory atrium (Fig. 11E, F vs. Figs 31E, F , 35F, G ).

Description.

See Miller et al. (2009).

Distribution.

China (Yunnan) (Fig. 38 ).
