Type materials.
Holotype ♂: China, Tibet, Nyingchi, Pome County, road to Metok County, 80 K; 29°39.897'N, 95°29.963'E; 2140 m a.s.l.; 10.VIII.2013; Y. Lin leg. (SYNU-435). Paratypes 2♂3♀: same data as for holotype (SYNU-436-440).
Diagnosis.
This new species is similar to Paramolotra metok sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the narrow anterior protrusion (ap) and broad posterior protrusion (pp) of embolar region (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 ), and the long, straight arms of T-shaped sclerite of endogyne (Fig. 9B View Figure 9 ). Paramolotra metok sp. nov. males have hook like anterior protrusion (ap) and basally broad, distally finger like posterior protrusion (pp) of embolar region (Fig. 5 View Figure 5 ), and females have very short anterior arm of T-shaped sclerite of endogyne (Fig. 9D View Figure 9 ).
Description.
Male (holotype). Body: carapace brown, abdomen light brown; habitus as in Fig. 1A, C, E View Figure 1 ; body length 2.15. Carapace (Fig. 1B, H View Figure 1 ): 1.04 long, 0.80 wide. Clypeus (Fig. 1I View Figure 1 ): ALE separated from edge of carapace by 1.1 times their diameter. Abdomen (Fig. 1F, G View Figure 1 ): 1.06 long, 0.82 wide. Palp (Figs 2 View Figure 2 , 7A, B View Figure 7 ): femur 0.25 long, patella 0.18 long, tibia 0.12 long, cymbiobulbus 0.57 long, 0.33 wide, length/maximal width = 1.58; embolar region with a broad basal protrusion (bp), a narrow anterior protrusion (ap), a broad posterior protrusion (pp) and a distal dorsal protrusion (dp).
Female (paratype, SYNU-438). As in male except as noted. Body: habitus as in Fig. 3A, B, E View Figure 3 ; body length 2.24. Carapace (Fig. 3C, F, H View Figure 3 ): 1.06 long, 0.82 wide. Abdomen (Fig. 3G View Figure 3 ): 1.24 long, 0.97 wide. Epigastric area (Figs 3G View Figure 3 , 9A View Figure 9 ): genital atrium relatively wide, broadly oval. Endogyne (Fig. 9B View Figure 9 ): with a large T-shaped sclerite; the anterior arm of the T-shaped sclerite long and strong.
