Material examined. Holotype ♀ ( IZCAS), China, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region , Baise City , Tianyang County, Dongjing Town , behind the small gas station, Liangdong Yan (23º40.125′N, 106º33.957′E), elev. 464 m, 4.III.2016, leg. X. Zhang & Z. Chen. GoogleMaps

Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality; noun.

Diagnosis. The new species is similar to S. cuyapo Li & Li sp. nov. but can be distinguished by the very short copulatory duct that connects the spermathecae to the afferent spermathecae and the size of the spermathecae ( Fig. 21A View Figure 21 ). S. cuyapo Li & Li sp. nov. has a long, curved copulatory duct and small spermathecae ( Fig. 20A View Figure 20 ).
