Cicurina wusanani Li View in CoL , sp. nov. ( Figs 83–87 View Figure 83 View Figure 84 View Figure 85 View Figure 86 View Figure 87 , 97 View Figure 97 )
Type material. Holotype. Male, China, Guizhou, Kaili City , Leishan County, Datang Town , Zadao Village , Yexiangui Cave , 26º19.068'N, 108º03.939'E, elev. 985 m, 4 December 2011, Z. Zha & Z. Chen leg., deposited in IZCAS GoogleMaps . Paratypes. 4 females, same data as holotype, deposited in IZCAS GoogleMaps .
Etymology. The specific name is a patronym in honor of Prof. San'an Wu from Beijing Forestry University; noun in apposition. Prof. Wu is a leading taxonomist in Coccoidea in China.
Diagnosis. Males of this new species are similar to C. medina (Paquin & Dupérré, 2009: 31, figs 56–57), but can be distinguished by the smooth distal part of tegulum (with deep notch in C. medina ), RTA without setae (with 5 setae in C. medina ). Females of this new species are similar to C. avicularia Li , sp. nov. ( Figs 64 View Figure 64 , 66A–B View Figure 66 ), but can be distinguished by the relatively small and undivided BO (large and divided BO in C. avicularia Li , sp. nov.), the reniform spermathecae (spherical in C. avicularia Li , sp. nov.), and the end of copulatory duct not extending laterally (laterally extending in C. avicularia Li , sp. nov.).
Description. Male (holotype). Total length 3.40 ( Fig. 87E View Figure 87 ). Prosoma length 1.73, width 1.30. Cephalic region width 0.70. Prosoma ovoid, cephalic part flat, covered with several setae. Thoracic part white, fovea reduced, prosoma margin indistinct. No eyes. Chelicerae length 0.69, width 0.31. Chelicerae with distinct lateral condyles, 3 (2 large, 1 small) promarginal and 7 retromarginal teeth. Chelicerae, labium and gnathocoxae yellow-brown; sternum white. Labium length 0.20, width 0.28. Gnathocoxae length 0.45, width 0.30. Sternum length 0.88, width 0.83. Legs white. Leg formula IV-I-II- III. Leg measurements: I 5.46 (1.50, 0.63, 1.25, 1.23, 0.85); II 5.21 (1.40, 0.60, 1.13, 1.23, 0.85); III 4.98 (1.38, 0.55, 1.00, 1.25, 0.80); IV 6.49 (1.65, 0.63, 1.48, 1.73, 1.00). Opisthosoma length 1.75, width 1.30. Opisthosoma pale, without distinct pattern. No cribellum.
Pedipalpus ( Figs 83–84 View Figure 83 View Figure 84 , 86 View Figure 86 ). Cymbium length 0.76. Apex of cymbium as wide as long. Embolus originated at approximately 6-o’clock position. Embolus slender, filiform. Sperm duct in tegulum inverse “S”-shaped. Base of TA prolaterally with row of notches. RTA apical end pointed, simple, with a single fold and without setae. Spur slightly triangular.
Female (one of the paratypes). Total length 4.10 ( Figs 87C–D View Figure 87 ). Prosoma length 1.90, width 1.33. Cephalic region width 0.75. Thoracic part yellow. No eyes. Chelicerae with distinct lateral condyles, 3 (1 large, 2 small) promarginal and 6 retromarginal teeth. Labium length 0.25, width 0.34. Gnathocoxae length 0.58, width 0.30. Sternum length 1.00, width 0.85. Leg formula I-IV-II-III. Leg measurements: I 6.18 (1.75, 0.70, 1.50, 1.35, 0.88); II 5.72 (1.65, 0.63, 1.33, 1.28, 0.83); III 5.28 (1.50, 0.55, 1.10, 1.38, 0.75); IV 7.16 (1.95, 0.63, 1.70, 1.88, 1.00). Opisthosoma length 2.40, width 1.80, without distinct pattern.
Epigynum ( Figs 85 View Figure 85 , 87A–B View Figure 87 ). Width 0.47. Epigynum with a small atrium, oval, posteriorly located. Bursae slightly enlarged, not fused. Copulatory duct joining the spermathecae at the inner constriction of spermathecae; spermathecae reniform. Fertilization duct internally attached to the spermathecae base.
Variation. Total length: females 3.80–4.42 (n = 4).
Distribution. Known only from the type locality ( Fig. 97 View Figure 97 ).
