Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word “ resimus ”, meaning “with upturned nose”, and refers to the shape of sclerotized lateral lobe edges and BO of epigynum; adjective.

Diagnosis. Females of this new species appear almost identical to B. punctosparsa (Song, Zhu & Chen, 1999: 363, figs 213K–N), but can be distinguished by the detailed structure of epigynum.

Description. Female (holotype). Total length 3.80 ( Figs 37C–D View Figure 37 ). Prosoma length 1.75, width 1.20. Cephalic region width 0.70. Cephalic part flat, covered with several setae. Thoracic part brown, fovea reduced, prosoma margin indistinct. Eight eyes, AME black, others white, all eyes encircled with black. Eye diameters: AME 0.04, ALE 0.10, PLE 0.10, PME 0.08. Eye interdistances: ALE-PLE 0.03, AME-ALE 0.04, AME-AME 0.05, PLE-PME 0.07, PME-PME 0.10. Eye region length 0.21, width 0.74. Clypeus height 0.13. Chelicerae length 0.65, width 0.33. Chelicerae brown, with distinct lateral condyles, 3 (1 large, 2 small) promarginal and 5 retromarginal teeth. Labium and gnathocoxae brown, sternum light brown. Labium length 0.19, width 0.28. Gnathocoxae length 0.50, width 0.25. Sternum length 0.90, width 0.85. Legs light brown. Leg formula I-IV-II-III. Leg measurements: I 7.70 (2.25, 0.70, 2.10, 1.70, 0.95); II 6.30 (1.90, 0.60, 1.60, 1.40, 0.80); III 5.60 (1.70, 0.50, 1.20, 1.40, 0.80); IV 7.20 (2.05, 0.60, 1.75, 1.80, 1.00). Ratio Cl/Met IV = 0.42, with 16 setae. Opisthosoma length 1.60, width 2.23. Opisthosoma yellow, without distinct pattern. Cribellum narrow, undivided.

Epigynum ( Figs 36 View Figure 36 , 37A–B View Figure 37 ). Width 0.31. Copulatory ducts coiled as circle in ventral view. Bursae reduced. Copulatory ducts slender, twisted tightly ( Figs 36A View Figure 36 , 37B View Figure 37 ). Spermathecae swollen, coiled along epigynal duct ball.

Male. Unknown.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality ( Fig. 97 View Figure 97 ).
