Type material.
Holotype ♀ (NHMSU Ar 014) and paratypes 3♀ (NHMSU Ar 015-017), China: Yunnan Province, Lushui County, Pianma Township, Changyan River, 9.3 km ESE Pianma, mixed broadleaf deciduous and evergreen forest, dusting small webs near ground in forest understory (25.99363°N, 98.66651°E; 2470 m), 10.VIII.2018, Y. Lin et al. leg.
Diagnosis.
Crassignatha changyan sp. nov. is similar to C. xichou sp. nov. but differs by the copulatory ducts diagonally linked to the copulatory opening but vertically linked in the latter (Fig. 5E, F View Figure 5 ).

Copulatory ducts connected to ventral center of spermathecae, twisting into an S-shaped under spermathecae, and merging anteriorly with copulatory openings. Copulatory openings located below scape. Fertilization ducts starting at inside margin of spermathecae, then curving posteriorly.
