Types.
Holotype: ♂ (SMF), Myanmar, Chin State, Nat Ma Taung National Park, Road S of Nat Ma Taung Summit, Pristine Primary Forest, 21°10.125'N, 93°54.892'E, 2543 m, 16.V.2014, P. Jäger leg.
Etymology.
The species is named in honor of Peter Jäger (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), a prolific spider taxonomist.
Diagnosis.
Males of T. peterjaegeri sp. nov. resemble those of T. ganlan sp. nov. but can be distinguished by the narrow oblong shape of the bulb ( Fig. 6C View Figure 6 ) (vs. elliptical in T. ganlan sp. nov. ( Fig. 8C View Figure 8 )), the embolus is half the length of the entire bulb ( Fig. 6C View Figure 6 ) (vs. embolus almost equal in length to the entire bulb in T. ganlan sp. nov. ( Fig. 8C View Figure 8 )), and the embolus is thin and straight ( Fig. 6C View Figure 6 ) (vs. embolus is thicker and curved in T. ganlan sp. nov. ( Fig. 8B View Figure 8 )).

Male (holotype). Total length 1.87; carapace 0.78 long, 0.75 wide; abdomen 1.09 long, 0.75 wide. Carapace round and brown, with 3 longitudinal brown bands, lateral bands 5 times wider than the middle band ( Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ). Chelicerae brown ( Fig. 27E View Figure 27 ). Clypeus light brown. Endites light brown. Labium dark brown. Sternum with dark brown pattern.

Palp with scattered purplish spots ( Fig. 6 C–D View Figure 6 ): femur four times longer than patella; patella not swollen, tibia 2/3 the length of femur; cymbium dark with concentrated purplish spots, half the length of femur; bulb light yellow, narrow, and oblong, length/width ratio = 1.90; embolus thin and straight, arises distally, half the length of the entire bulb ( Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ).
