Median apophysis of male palp of Larinioides species. A— L. jalimovi ; B— L. ixobolus ; C— L. sericatus , arrow pointed to the spur from different view; D— L. patagiatus ; E— L. chabarovi ; F— L. cornutus ; G— L. folium . Diagnosis . Habitus is similar to that of L. ixobolus and L. sericatus , but females of L. jalimovi differ by having a typical heart-shaped epigyne ( Fig. 26 ). Unlike L. ixobolus and L. sericatus , the male palp of L. jalimovi has a tapered terminal apophysis and unique small spur on the internal side of the flat shield of embolus and a long process at the base of subterminal apophysis 1 ( Figs 11, 12 ). Male palp can also be confused with those of L. cornutus and L. folium , but it differs by presence of processes at the subterminal apophysis 1. Description . Carapace brown with dark pattern. Chelicerae and sternum brown. Dorsum of abdomen with dark brown folium and indistinct white cross ( Figs 1 A, C). Legs yellow, dark annulated with spotted femur. Male. Total length 6.5–8.5. Carapace 3.2–4.1 long, 2.8–3.8 wide. Length of the first patella + tibia 5.8–7.8. Tibia II not modified, only slightly shorter and thicker than tibia 1 ( Fig. 8 A). Palp as in Figs 9 A, 10A, 11, 12; bulbus with a long tapered terminal apophysis; subterminal apophysis 1 with a long, lunate process in basal part; subterminal apophysis 2 rounded; embolic tip covered by a flat shield bearing small transparent spur on the internal side; median apophysis with a thinner and longer top part in comparison to shorter, flat and square lower one; conductor trapezoid, as high as wide. Female. Total length 7.8–11.2. Carapace 3.0–4.6 long, 3.0–3.8 wide. Length of the first patella + tibia 4.7–6.9. Epigyne as in Fig. 26 ; well sclerotised; heart shaped; folded by lateral lamellae; basal lamellae strongly reduced; scapus shortly S-shaped at the base. Copulatory openings near base of scapus, covered by folded margin of lateral lamellae. FIGURES 11, 12. Male embolic division of Larinioides jalimovi . Letters indicate columns; numbers indicate rows. 11—before maceration; 12—after maceration in NaOH solution; A, B—prolateral view; C, D—retrolateral view. TA = terminal apophysis; STA = subterminal apophysis; EM = embolus. Distribution . From the midway along the Amur River to Khabarovsk and south to South Korea and possibly to Zhejiang in China ( Fig. 33 ). Comments . Holotype female from the Khabarovsk Province, Khabarovsk Pedagogical Institute Biological Station ( June to July 1970 , Yalymova) from Bakhvalov’s private collection seems to be lost.
