Types.

Holotype: ♀ (IZCAS), China, Yunnan Province, Wenshan State, Jinping County, mountain around bus station (direction of timber factory), 22°47.6920'N, 103°13.3360'E, elevation ca 1399 m, 14.V.2015, Z. Chen and F. Li leg.

Etymology.

The species name is a noun in apposition derived from the Chinese pinyin “yuánzhuī” (conical) and refers to the shape of the external genitalia with a genitalic lobe that greatly resembles the shape of a conical flask (Fig. 38B, C).

Diagnosis.

Females of L. yuanzhui sp. nov. resemble L. maochong sp. nov. and L. shanzi sp. nov. but can be distinguished by the presence of a protruded genitalic lobe (Fig. 38C) (vs. the absence of a genitalic lobe), the presence of a pair of widely separated semi-circular bodies posteriorly (vs. the absence of semi-circular bodies or with circular bodies), and entire spermathecae rather thin and narrow (Fig. 38A) (vs. entire spermathecae rather thick and wide).
