Draconarius euryembolus sp. nov.

(Figs 138-145, 538)

Type material: Holotype. ♂, CHINA: Yunnan: Longling County: Pass over Gaoligongshan, Nankang, 36 km directly SE Tengchong, N24°50', E98°47', 2100 m, native forest, November 4-7, 1998, C. Griswold, D. Kavanaugh, C.L. Long (HNU) .

Paratype. CHINA: Yunnan: Tengchong County: 1♂, Bawan village, 39-41 km of the road Bawan-Tengchong, N24° 55625', E98° 45155', 2416 m, October 12, 2003, G. Tang (CAS, CASENT9020370) .

Etymology: The species name is derived from Greek word “eurys”, which means “broad”, combined with the word “embolus”, and refers to the broad base of embolus; name in apposition.

Diagnosis: This new species can be easily distinguished from other Draconarius species by the absence of a conductor dorsal apophysis (Figs 138-139). It is similar to the members of the genus Iwogumoa Kishida 1955 due to the lack of a conductor dorsal apophysis, but can be easily distinguished from Iwogumoa by the presence of a broad conductor, a broad embolus, and the large AME (larger than ALE) (Fig. 144).

Description: Male (holotype) Large sized Coelotinae, total length 9.80 (Fig. 143). Dorsal shield of prosoma 5.30 long, 3.80 wide; opisthosoma 4.50 long, 3.60 wide. AME largest; ALE slightly smaller than AME, but larger than posterior eyes, which are subequal (AME 0.29, ALE 0.24, PME 0.21, PLE 0.22); AME separated from each other by slightly less than half of their diameter, slightly separated from ALE; PME separated from each other by about their diameter, from PLE by about 1.5 times PME diameter (AME-AME 0.13, AME-ALE 0.04, PME-PME 0.20, PME-PLE 0.32, AME-PME 0.20) (Fig. 144). Promargin of chelicera with 3 teeth, retromargin with 3. Labium with length and width subequal (L / W =1.00) (Fig. 145). Palpal patellar apophysis small; RTA more than half of tibial length, with blunt, slightly protruding distal end; lateral tibial apophysis tiny, barely visible; cymbial furrow large, slightly more than half of cymbial length; conductor short, broad, with a large lamella, without a dorsal apophysis; median apophysis spoon-shaped, long, not free-standing along anterior edge; embolus originating between prolateral and proximal, with base broad, long, extending posteriorly beyond tibia/tarsus junction to middle part of tibia, thread broad, starting at 9- o’clock-position, running more than one quarter of an oval, distal half filiform, coiling beyond distal part of bulb (Figs 138-142).

Female. Unknown.

Distribution: China (Yunnan: Tengchong, Longling) (Fig. 538).
