Artoria parvula Thorell, 1877: 531 (♂); Framenau 2002: 233, fig. 17A–D (♂); Framenau 2005: 286, fig. 11A–B (♂ ♀); Li et al. 2012: 36, figs 1A–I, 2A–E, 3A–E (♂ ♀).

Artoria luwamata Barrion & Litsinger, 1995: 364, fig. 213a–e (♂).

Description. See Li et al. (2012) for both sexes. Habitus, male pedipalp and epigyne are photographed here (Fig. 3 A–H)

to facilitate species identification of Artoria from Malaysia.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to A. ligulacea (Qu, Peng & Yin, 2009) (Li et al. 2012: 40, figs 4A–I, 5A–E), but

differs from the latter by the long and bifurcate median apophysis, the small tegulum of male pedipalp (Fig. 3 C–F) and

the short spermatheca stalk of epigyne (Fig. 3 G–H).
