( Figs 21–24 , 35 )

Wolongia odontodes Zhao, Yin & Peng, 2009: 18 , f. 1–8.

Material examined: China, Yunnan: 11 males and 1 female, Gongshan County, Dulongjiang Township, Longyuan Village, Bailai Group, 28º00ʹ33.0ʹ N, 98º19ʹ19.8ʹ E, 1676 m, 31 October to 3 November 2004, Guo Tang (HNU-Tang-04-06).

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from other Wolongia species by the combination of the following characters: 1) tip of the conductor digitiform in ventral view ( Figs 23 B, 25A); 2) conductor and embolus almost covering 2/3 of the genital bulb in ventral view ( Figs 23 B, 25A); 3) cymbial base with a denticle retrolaterally ( Figs 23 C, 25B); 4) atrium slightly wider than long ( Figs 24 C, 26B); 5) spermatheca membranous ( Figs 24 D, 26C); 6) copulatory ducts approach spermathecae from anterior-mesal angle ( Figs 24 D, 26C). Females of this species are very similar to W. mutica n. sp., and the differences are discussed in the diagnosis of W. mutica n. sp..

Distribution: China (Yunnan).
