Draconarius quattour View in CoL sp. nov.

(Figs 454-460, 548)

Type material: Holotype. ♀, CHINA: Yunnan: Lushui County: Daxinde Township, Walayaku Cave , N26.13190°, E098.86928°, 920 m, August 3, 2005, G. Tang ( HNU, CASENT9025619 ) GoogleMaps .

Etymology: The species name came from Latin “quattour”, which means "the fourth", and refers to the presence of four retromarginal cheliceral teeth; adjective.

Diagnosis: The female of this new species is similar to D. yani sp. nov. in having epigynal teeth that are widely separated from each other and from the atrial margins, and spermathecae that extend anteriorly beyond the spermathecal heads, but can be distinguished by the indistinct anterior atrial margin and the relatively small spermathecae (Figs 454-455). The chelicerae have four retromarginal teeth in this new species, but two in D. yani sp. nov.

Description: Female (holotype). Medium sized Coelotinae (Fig. 458). Total length 7.30. Dorsal shield of prosoma 3.80 long, 2.48 wide; opisthosoma 3.50 long, 2.40 wide. Median eyes subequal in size, slightly smaller than lateral eyes, which are subequal ( AME 0.14, ALE 0.16, PME 0.14, PLE 0.17); AME separated from each other by 2 /3 of AME diameter, from ALE by slightly less than 1/2 of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by slightly less than their diameter, from PLE by PLE diameter (AME-AME 0.09, AME-ALE 0.06, PME-PME 0.12, PME-PLE 0.16, AME-PME 0.16) (Fig. 459). Labium slightly longer than wide ( L / W =1.10) (Fig. 460). Chelicera with 3 promarginal and 4 retromarginal teeth. Epigynal teeth short, arising anterolaterally of atrium, distinctly separated from atrial margins, widely separated from each other by at least atrial width; atrium small, close to epigastric furrow, without distinct anterior margin and lateral margins; copulatory ducts small, originating posteriorly; spermathecae with bases widely separated by at least their width, stalks broad, anteriorly extending and converging anterior of heads; spermathecal heads distinct, arising from anterior half of spermathecae (Figs 454-457).

Male. Unknown.

Distribution: China (Yunnan: Lushui) (Fig. 548).
