( Figs 2–3 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 and 16 View FIGURE 16 )

Type material: Holotype male ( IZCAS), Mt. Limushan Nature Reserve (19.2ºN, 109.7ºE, Alt: 576m), Hainan Island, China, 13 August 2007, Shuqiang Li, Chunxia Wang, Linghui Lin and Jianjun Xu leg. GoogleMaps

Etymology: The specific name is taken from the Latin adjective membranaceus and refers to the membranous median apophysis of this species, adjective.

Diagnosis: The new species can be easily distinguished from other Notiocoelotes species by the unique lateral tibial apophysis and the small, membranous median apophysis ( Figs 2B–C View FIGURE 2 , 3C–D View FIGURE 3 ).
