Etymology.
The species name is a patronym in honor of Prof. Wanda Wesołowska ( Wrocław, Poland), who has contributed significantly to the taxonomy of the genus Rhene ; noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis.
The new species can be easily distinguished from any congeners by the coiled embolus which is longer than the bulb vs. embolus markedly shorter than the bulb, straight or curved in other species.
Description.
Male (Figs 16 View Figure 16 , 17 View Figure 17 ). Total length 5.26. Carapace 2.40 long, 2.41 wide. Abdomen 2.98 long, 2.05 wide. Clypeus 0.02 high. Eye sizes and inter-distances: AME 0.47, ALE 0.26, PLE 0.24, AERW 1.53, PERW 2.38, EFL 1.58. Legs: I 6.02 (2.01, 2.43, 0.98, 0.60), II 4.11 (1.38, 1.55, 0.73, 0.45), III 3.68 (1.23, 1.25, 0.75, 0.45), IV 4.85 (1.50, 1.95, 0.95, 0.45). Carapace almost elongated-hexagonal, dark red to dark brown, covered with dense, brown and off-white setae. Fovea dark brown, longitudinal. Chelicerae red-brown, with 1 retrolateral and 2 promarginal teeth. Endites colored as chelicerae, with brown setae entally on the medio-distal margin. Labium slightly darker than endites. Sternum yellow-brown, elongate-oval, covered by off-white, thin setae. Legs I red-brown, with inflated tibiae ventrally with dense, brown setae, other legs yellow-brown. Abdomen sub-oval, dorsum with 2 pairs of muscle depressions medially and irregular, transverse, white stripes of setae medio-posteriorly, covered with dark and off-white thin setae; venter yellow-gray, with a pair of medial dotted lines.
Palp (Fig. 16A-C View Figure 16 ): femur about 2 times longer than wide; tibia wider than long, with a sclerotized, tapered, retrolateral apophysis slightly shorter than tibial length, distally curved to a pointed tip directed ventrally in retrolateral view; cymbium about 1.8 times longer than wide in ventral view, covered with dense setae; bulb swollen; embolus long, tapered, coiled nearly 1.5 ×, with a rather pointed tip, reaches cymbial tip.
