Etymology.

The species name is an adjective referring to the type locality.

Diagnosis.

Males of L. renqinensis sp. nov. resemble L. tudao sp. nov. but can be distinguished by the presence of four uneven retrolateral apophyses on a swollen tibia, with one apophysis bearing a spine (Fig. 44C) (vs. the presence of a spine and three retrolateral apophyses bearing spines on a swollen tibia (Fig. 50C)), tibia swollen pentagonally (Fig. 44C) (vs. tibia swollen triangularly (Fig. 50C)), pyriform bulb rather slender and elongated (Fig. 44B) (vs. pyriform bulb rather plump (Fig. 50B)), a thin strip of the conductor arises at the margins (Fig. 44B) (vs. a wide part of the conductor arises at the margins), laminar apophysis and embolus not attached to each other (Fig. 44B) (vs. embolus attached to laminar apophysis); females can be recognized by having a pair of spermathecae resembling a bow (Fig. 43A) (vs. a pair of stalked spermathecae (Fig. 49A)), external genitalia with triangular orange area (Fig. 43B) (vs. dark brown area (Fig. 49B)).

Description.

Male (Holotype). Total length 3.30; carapace 0.96 long, 1.09 wide; abdomen 2.34 long, 1.25 wide. Carapace round and brown, with three dark brown longitudinal bands, median band six times wider than lateral band (Fig. 43C). Chelicerae brown (Fig. 57B). Clypeus pale brown. Endites dark brown, light brown basally. Labium dark brown. Sternum dark brown laterally, light brown medially. Abdomen elongated, dorsum with brown spots, posterior with dark brown horizontal stripes, antero-ventrally with distinct triangular orange area, posterior with dark brown bands laterally, scattered brown spots medially. Legs uniformly brown; measurements: I 16.00 (4.25, 0.40, 4.75, 5.00, 1.60), II 11.61 (3.21, 0.40, 3.20, 3.40, 1.40), III 7.71 (2.20, 0.31, 2.20, 2.00, 1.00), IV 12.50 (3.85, 0.40, 3.50, 3.50, 1.25). Palp (Fig. 44A-D): femur slender, five times longer than patella; patella not swollen; tibia swollen pentagonally, 1.2 times shorter and 4 times wider than femur, with four retrolateral apophyses anteriorly (Fig. 44C) (one apophysis bearing a spine, three others with rounded tip, with apophysis one being longest); cymbium three times shorter than femur, brown; bulb brown, pyriform, with embolus, laminar apophysis, and conductor arising distally; embolus black and slender, longer than laminar apophysis and conductor; laminar apophysis with blunt tip, two times wider and not attached to embolus; conductor brown, arising marginally as a thin strip, embolus three times wider and longer than conductor (Fig. 44B).

Female (Paratype). General features and coloration similar to those of male (Fig. 43D, E). Measurements: total length 2.82; carapace 0.94 long, 1.00 wide; abdomen 1.88 long, 1.00 wide. Leg measurements: I 12.65 (2.75, 0.40, 4.00, 4.00, 1.50), II 10.11 (2.80, 0.31, 3.00, 2.80, 1.20), III 9.06 (1.75, 0.31, 3.00, 2.80, 1.20), IV 10.80 (3.00, 0.40, 3.20, 3.00, 1.20). Epigastric area (Fig. 43B): distinct triangular orangeish patch with pale brown crescent at base. Endogyne (Fig. 43A): spermathecae resemble a ribbon knot with a pair of ovoid droplet-shaped marks, receptacles with rounded upturned ends.
