Diagnosis

Easily distinguished from all known congeners by long sickle-shaped bulbal process and by unique shape of procursus (long, S-shaped, with subdistal ventral pointed process; fig. 580 in Huber 2011); from other species in the buatong group also by longer than wide female internal genitalia ( Fig. 170 View Figs 169 – 172 ).

New material examined

MALAYSIA: 1 ♀, ZFMK ( Ar 15047 ), Kedah, Gunung Jerai, forest near Sri Perigi Waterfall (5°48.3' N, 100°24.6' E), 100–200 m a.s.l., 27 Feb. 2015 (B.A. Huber) GoogleMaps ; 2 ♀♀, 1 juv., in absolute ethanol, ZFMK ( Mal 288 ), same data GoogleMaps ; 1 ♂, ZFMK ( Ar 15048 ), same data, collected penultimate, adult on 2–3 Mar. 2015 GoogleMaps .

Description (female)

In general similar to male ( Fig. 149 View Figs 143 – 152 ; cf. Huber 2011), but eye triads on low humps and closer together (distance PME-PME: 185 µm) and black mark at ocular area smaller. AME present as in male. Tibia 1 in 3 females: 5.5, 5.6, 6.1. Epigynum longer than wide, mostly weakly sclerotized, with large dark ‘knob’ at posterior margin, anterior internal arch visible through cuticle ( Figs 169 View Figs 169 – 172 , 187–188 View Figs 184 – 192 ); posterior plate laterally slightly more sclerotized. Internal genitalia as in Figs 170 View Figs 169 – 172 and 189 View Figs 184 – 192 .

Distribution

Known from two localities in southern Thailand and northern mainland Malaysia ( Fig. 153 View Fig. 153 ).
