Type material. Holotype male, 3 male paratypes, VIETNAM: Ninh Binh Province, Cuc Phuong National Park (20º21.44’N, 105º34.21’E), March 2007 to March 2008, Dinh-Sac PHAM leg. GoogleMaps

Etymology. The specific epithet refers to its similarity to Draconarius pumilus sp. nov.

Diagnosis. The new species is similar to Draconarius pumilus sp. nov., but can be distinguished from the latter by the relatively large body size and the absence of navicular conductor dorsal apophysis ( Figs 48B,

50A, 51B). This new species is also similar to Draconarius phuhin Dankittipakul, Sonthichai & Wang, 2006 and in having small patellar apophysis, broad conductor, long embolus originating proximally, but can be distinguished from latter by the following characters: 1, the patellar apophysis round distally in this new species, but sharp distally in D. phuhin ( Figs 48B, 51B); 2, the cymbial furrow more than half of cymbial length in this new species, but about half of cymbial length in D. phuhin ( Figs 48B, 51B).

Description. Male. Total length 5.20–6.10. Holotype total length 5.70, prosoma 3.00 long, 1.60 wide; opisthosoma 2.70 long, 1.90 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.09; ALE 0.18; PME 0.14; PLE 0.14; AME– AME 0; AME–ALE 0; ALE–PLE 0; PME–PME 0.04; PME–PLE 0.03. Clypeus height 0.09. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I: 7.40 (2.15, 2.55, 1.90, 0.80); II: 6.75 (2.00, 2.15, 1.55, 1.05); III: 6.25 (1.80, 2.00, 1.65, 0.80); IV: 8.35 (2.40, 2.55, 2.35, 1.05). Chelicerae with three promarginal and two retromarginal teeth ( Fig. 49B). Patellar apophysis small ( Figs 48B, 51B); RTA occupying almost entire tibia length, distinctly extended distally; lateral tibial apophysis large, close to the RTA ( Figs 48B, 51B); cymbial furrow more than half of cymbial length ( Figs 48B, 51B); conductor short and broad, with a large dorsal apophysis ( Figs 48B, 49A, 50B, 51B); median apophysis long, spoon-shaped ( Figs 48B, 49A, 50B, 51B); embolus long, filiform, proximal in origin ( Figs 49A, 50B).

Female. Unknown.
