Type material. Holotype: ♂ ( IZCAS-AR33978 ), FeNGxUe YAKOU (25.972667°N, 98.683933°E, eLeV. 3133 M), PIANMA TOWNSHIP, LUSHUI COUNTY, NUjIANG OF THe LISU AUTONOMOUS PReFeCTURe, Yunnan, China, 25 JUNe 2013, Z GoogleMaps .

Paratype: 1♀ ( IZCAS-AR33979 ), FeNGxUe YAKOU (25.972667°N, 98.683933°E, eLeV. 3133 M), PIANMA TOWNSHIP, LUSHUI COUNTY, NUjIANG OF THe LISU AUTONOMOUS PReFeCTURe, Yunnan, China, 8 DeCeMBeR 2013, Y.

Etymology. THe SPeCIFIC NAMe IS DeRIVeD FROM THe LONG MALe PALP (LATIN PReFIx "LONGUS-" (LONG), NOUN "PALP" AND AFFIx "- US "); ADjeCTIVe.

Diagnosis. THe MALeS ARe SIMILAR TO H. exilis BUT DIFFeR BY THe SHORT AND HORIZONTAL CONDUCTOR WHILe IN H. exilis , THe eND OF CONDUCTOR SLIGHTLY UPWARD ( FIGS 9B View FIGURE 9 , 15B View FIGURE 15 ); THe eND OF MeDIAN APOPHYSIS BLACK-BROWN AND OPAqUe BUT TRANSLUCeNT IN H. exilis ( FIGS 9C View FIGURE 9 , 15C View FIGURE 15 ). THe FeMALeS CAN Be eASILY DISTINGUISHeD FROM H. exilis BY THe LARGe POSTeRIOR epigynal sclerite; the height of posterior epigynal sclerite subequal to ⅓ the height of epigyne, while it is twice in H. exilis ( FIGS 10A View FIGURE 10 , 16A View FIGURE 16 ); THe BROAD SPeRMATHeCAL HeADS, WHOSe WIDTH eqUALS TO THe LeNGTH BUT IN H. exilis , THe LeNGTH OF SPeRMATHeCAL HeADS IS LONGeR THAN THe WIDTH AND FeRTILIZATION DUCT THIN ( FIGS 10B View FIGURE 10 , 16B View FIGURE 16 ).

LeG MeASUReMeNTS: I 17.07 (5.62, 5.09, 3.82, 2.54); II 16.29 (5.61, 4.58, 3.82, 2.28); III 14.52 (4.85, 4.07, 3.56, 2.04); IV 18.34 (6.12, 5.09, 4.84, 2.29). EPIGYNe: MIDDLe SePTUM exTeNDS TO THe POSTeRIOR eDGe OF ePIGYNe; ANTeRIOR ePIGYNe WeAKLY SCLeRITeD, WITH LIGHTLY WRINKLeS, THe HeIGHT of it about ½ the epigynal height; the height of posterior epigynal sclerotized is more than ⅓ the epigynal height; atrium trajectile, occupying about ¼ of epigynal plate; spermathecae simple and separated, the distance between the anterior spermathecae is twice the spermathecal diameters; the width of spermathecae about ¾ the length; SPeRMATHeCAL HeADS SITUATeD ANTeROLATeRALLY ( FIGS 16A–B View FIGURE 16 ).
