Diagnosis.
Sinoderces wenshanensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other known species by the nearly parallel conductor and embolus ( Fig. 13D View Figure 13 ). The conductor is membranous ( Fig. 13 B–D View Figure 13 ). Palp nearly light yellow. Entrance duct is visible even before soaking them in lactic acid. Epigyne resembles a fan. Females have two pairs of spermathecae, with the inner pair together resembling the smile of a smiley face and the outer pair protruding anteriorly ( Fig. 14A, B View Figure 14 )

Male (holotype). Total length 1.72; carapace 0.62 long, 0.70 wide; abdomen 1.10 long, 0.60 wide. Carapace round, dark brown, with dark brown margins ( Fig. 14E View Figure 14 ). Clypeus light brown. Chelicerae light yellow. Cheliceral promargin with one tooth, followed by a lamina; retromargin with one small tooth ( Fig. 21G View Figure 21 ). Endites yellow. Labium light brown. Sternum dark brown. Legs brown, joints dark. Leg measurements: I missing, II missing, III missing, IV 7.05 (1.87, 0.25, 2.25, 1.75, 0.93).
