Type material: Holotype: male, Mt. Diaoluoshan (18°44.505′N, 109°52.104′E, alt. 920 m), Lingshui County, Hainan Island, China, 21 April 2011, leg. Yuanye Zhou. Paratypes: 3 males, 8 females (IZCAS), same data as holotype.
Etymology. The specific name is from Latin longus (long), in reference to the shape of male compound teminal apophysis; adjective.
Diagnosis. Male can be distinguished from all known congeners by the comparatively long compound teminal apophysis and the seminal duct which is wider in diameter ( Figs 148 View FIGURES 148 – 151 , 152–155 View FIGURES 152 – 155 ). Female can be distinguished by the shape of epigyne and the relatively large spermathecae ( Figs 150, 151 View FIGURES 148 – 151 , 156, 157 View FIGURES 156 – 160 ).
Description. Male ( Figs 148, 149 View FIGURES 148 – 151 , 152–155 View FIGURES 152 – 155 , 158 View FIGURES 156 – 160 ): Total length 1.9, PL 1.0, PW 0.8, OL 0.9, OW 0.7. Eye sizes: AME 0.25, ALE 0.17, PME 0.04, PLE 0.15, AER 0.85, PER 0.8, EFL 0.6. Legs: I 1.7 (0.5, 0.3, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2), II 1.5 (0.45, 0.25, 0.3, 0.3, 0.2), III 1.45 (0.4, 0.25, 0.3, 0.3, 0.2), IV 2.05 (0.6, 0.3, 0.5, 0.4, 0.25); formula: 4132.
Dorsal prosoma light brown, with dark sides, covered with brown and black setae. Clypeus height 0.05, Clypeus gray brown, covered with brown setae. Fovea, cervicle and radial grooves unclear. Chelicerae small and yellow, with two promarginal teeth, retromargin with four teeth. Endites, labium and sternum yellow. Legs with irregular black spots. Metatarsus I with three pairs of ventral spines. Opisthosoma oval, dark brown, with two pairs of pale yellow spots, following one yellow latitudinal stripe; anterior and posterior margins covered with long brown and white setae; ventral opisthosoma yellow. Spinnerets light yellow, anterior spinnerets shorter and stronger than posterior ones. Palp ( Figs 148, 149 View FIGURES 148 – 151 , 152–155 View FIGURES 152 – 155 ): Patellar apophysis thin, bifurcated distally. Embolus long, curved distally. Compound teminal apophysis extending beyond cymbium, oriented distodorsally. Seminal duct O-shaped curved.
Female ( Figs 150, 151 View FIGURES 148 – 151 , 156, 157, 159, 160 View FIGURES 156 – 160 ): Total length 2.2, PL 1.1, PW 0.9, OL 1.1, OW 0.9. Eye sizes: AME 0.3, ALE 0.16, PME 0.04, PLE 0.16, AER 0.9, PER 0.85, EFL 0.7. Legs: I 1.9 (0.6, 0.3, 0.4, 0.35, 0.25), II 1.7 (0.5, 0.3, 0.35, 0.35, 0.2), III 1.65 (0.5, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.25), IV 2.45 (0.75, 0.35, 0.6, 0.5, 0.25); formula: 4123.
Opishosoma oval, grayish brown, with one pair of pale yellow spots, following three yellow latitudinal stripes. Other characters similar to those of male. Epigyne ( Figs 150 View FIGURES 148 – 151 , 156 View FIGURES 156 – 160 ): weakly sclerotized, with pileate plate. Vulva ( Figs 151 View FIGURES 148 – 151 , 157 View FIGURES 156 – 160 ): Copulatory ducts twisted and folded, with weakly sclerotized wall. Spermathecae large and reniform.
