Figs 28–32, 38

Type material: Holotype: male (IZCAS), Yashan Cave [23º36.150'N, 108º54.744'E, ALT: 115m, T: 24°C, H: 94%], Yashan Country, Laibin, Guangxi, China, August 16, 2009, C. Wang & Z. Yao leg. Paratypes: 19 males, 71 females, same data as holotype.

Etymology: The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective.

Diagnosis: This new species is similar to T. adunca sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the shorter prolateral cymbial apophysis of male palpal tarsus (Figs 28 B, 31A), the distinct shape of embolus (Figs 29 B, 31C), the different shape of genital area (Fig. 37 A), and the tube-shaped spermatheca of female (Figs 29 C–D, 32B–C).

Description: male (holotype). Total length 1.50 (Fig. 29 A). Prosoma 0.62 long, 0.55 wide. Opisthosoma 0.75 long, 0.75 wide. Sternum 0.42 long, 0.38 wide. Prosoma, sternum, yellow; legs, labium, endites and chelicerae pale yellow. Prosoma nearly round, with a pair of setae at the retrolateral side of eyes. Six eyes. Chelicerae longer than endites, with two teeth and three tiny granulous denticles on the promargin, four small triangular teeth on the retromargin of fang furrow (Fig. 31 E). Patellae I–IV with one long macroseta on the distal part of dorsal surface. Tibia I–IV with one long macroseta dorsally (position 0.3). Tarsus III and IV with two rows of short macrosetae dorsally. Leg measurements: I 4.57 (1.40, 0.37, 1.35, 0.85, 0.60); II 3.99 (1.25, 0.37, 1.12, 0.70, 0.55); III 2.77 (0.87, 0.25, 0.75, 0.50, 0.40); IV 3.39 (1.00, 0.37, 0.95, 0.62, 0.45). Leg formula: I-II-IV-III. Opisthosoma dark green, covered with long setae. Bulb yellowish, cylindrical. Embolus approximately 1/3 the length of bulb, angled larger than 90° to the axis of bulb (Figs 28 A–B, 31A–B).

Female (one of the paratypes). Similar to male in coloration and general features, but with a smaller body size and shorter legs. Total length 1.40 (Figs 30 A–B). Prosoma 0.62 long, 0.50 wide. Opisthosoma 0.87 long, 0.65 wide. Sternum 0.40 long, 0.36 wide. Leg measurements: I 4.27 (1.30, 0.37, 1.25, 0.85, 0.50); II 3.69 (1.15, 0.37, 1.12, 0.60, 0.45); III 2.64 (0.87, 0.25, 0.70, 0.45, 0.37); IV 3.59 (1.10, 0.37, 1.00, 0.62, 0.50). Leg formula: I-II-IV-III. Spermatheca evenly tube-shaped, distal portion curved ventrally (Figs 29 D, 32B).

Variation: Total length: males 1.47–1.53 (n = 20), females (1.36–1.45) (n=71).

Distribution: China (Guangxi) (Fig. 38), known only from the type locality.
