Type material. Holotype:China • 1 ♀; Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou City, Fajing Temple; 30.234°N, 120.095°E; alt. 79 m; 13 July 2013; F.X. Liu, D. Li, X. Xu and Z.T. Zhang leg.; DL-001-016-2013. Paratypes: China • 4 ♀♀; same data as for the holotype, 30.228°N, 120.091°E; alt. 117 m; DL-001-015-2013, DL-002-016-2013, DL-003-016-2013, DL-003-017-2013.
Diagnosis. Females of P. fajingsp. nov. can be distinguished from those of P. bawangsp. nov., P. labiata, P. quei, and P. taiwanicaby the slit-like epigynal orifice, the anterior orifice margin nearly parallel to the posterior orifice margin ventrally, and the W-shaped posterior epigynal margin (Fig. 4A, B; see fig. 1C in Zhu et al. (2007), fig. 664 and 665 in Peng et al. (1993), and fig. 4F in Zhang and Li (2005), respecitively); from those of P. xishansp. nov. by the W-shaped posterior orifice margin (Fig. 4B); from those of P. fimbriataand P. zhaoiby the copulatory duct being shortest (Fig. 4B; see fig. 8D, E in Wanless (1978)) Figure 4.Female genital anatomy of Portia fajingsp. nov.
