J. Peng, S. L. Li, W. L. Yan, C. P. Zou and F. Q. Wu leg.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>The male of Calommata hangzhica Li &amp; Xu, 2022 resembles that of C. yueluensis sp. nov. in having a similar embolus (cf. Figs 2, 5), but can be distinguished by 1) embolus and conductor directed obliquely and retrolaterally towards endites in ventral view (Figs 1 B, 4 B; vs. directed vertically and retrolaterally towards apex of chelicerae); 2) apex of embolus separates with conductor by a gap in ventral view (Fig. 5 C; vs. overlaps with conductor in C. yueluensis); and 3) cheliceral base with three or four large teeth (Figs 5 E, 6 F; vs. with several small teeth in C. yueluensis).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male. (HNU -WS-250828) (Fig. 4 D – F). Total length 6.65 (with chelicerae). Carapace 2.09 long, 1.64 wide; abdomen 2.90 long, 2.12 wide. Carapace square and brown in colour; median ocular region strongly raised; fovea and radial groove distinct. Chelicerae dark brown with 13 teeth arranged in a single row. Sternum and labium brown; endite greatly enlarged. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.08, ALE 0.09, PME 0.07, PLE 0.06; AME – AME 0.06, AME – ALE 0.25, PME – PME 0.52, PME – PLE 0.03. MOA 0.22 long, anterior width 0.25, posterior width 0.65. Clypeus height 0.48. Leg measurements: leg I 7.85 (2.29, 2.05, 1.81, 1.70), II 7.19 (1.79, 1.82, 1.84, 1.74), III 7.08 (1.71, 1.51, 1.76, 2.10), IV 8.40 (2.33, 1.83, 1.94, 2.30). Leg formula: 4123. Leg yellow brown, weakly covered with bristles; tibiae and apex of metatarsi covered with spurs. Abdomen dark brown, with brown scutum anteriorly. Spinnerets white.</p><p>Palp (Figs 4 A – C, 5 A – D). Tibia swollen, about 2 × longer than wide; cymbium short and light brown. Embolus and conductor oriented obliquely, pointing retrolaterally. Conductor with sclerotized margin, gradually twisted and broadened apex with one prominent small tooth and obtuse edge opposite the tooth. Embolus straight, base slightly curved in lateral view, with wide gap between conductor and embolus.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Hunan (Changsha) and Zhejiang (Hangzhou) Provinces, China (Fig. 8).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>The female of C. hangzhica has been reported from Zhejiang Province (Hangzhou) (Li et al. 2022). The specimen collected from Hunan is assigned to C. hangzhica based on the following reasons. First, this species is distinct from other described species, based on morphological analyses and comparisons. More importantly, we tried to extract DNA from the male specimen in the present study, and it was found that the smallest pairwise genetic distances between the female C. hangzhica specimen and the male specimen were only 0.90 % (K 2 P) and 0.89 % (p-distance), which are much smaller than the interspecific distances. Phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 7) further support the identification of the male specimen in the present study as C. hangzhica .</p><p>GenBank accession code.</p><p>COI for examined male specimen (HNU -WS-250828): PX 671534.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/95AB86E3E80C52BD83A5A44D05327C07	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Adjective.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>The new species resembles C. signata Karsch, 1879 in having a similar embolus and female cheliceral teeth (Figs 2, 3 A – D, 6 G, H; Kim and Lee 2018, fig. 8 F – H; Li et al. 2022, fig. 7 c, d), but can be differentiated by 1) embolus 2 times longer than conductor in ventral view (Fig. 2 C; vs. 3 times longer in C. signata); 2) apex of conductor with one prominent tooth on the dorsal surface (Fig. 2 A – C; vs. slight tooth in C. signata); 3) larger and smaller cheliceral teeth arrange alternately (Figs 2 E, 6 H; vs. cheliceral teeth decrease gradually from fang base to cheliceral base in C. signata); 4) widest gap between the middle pair of receptacula subequal to the height of receptacula (Fig. 3 A, B; vs. nearly 1.5 times the height in C. signata); 5) slender basal stalks of the receptaculum about 2 times longer than wide (Fig. 3 B; vs. squat and about 1.2 times longer than wide in C. signata); and 6) receptaculum with more and aggregated granules (Fig. 3 B; vs. fewer and scattered in C. signata).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Male (holotype) (Fig. 1 D – F). Total length 6.64 (with chelicerae). Carapace 1.91 long, 1.56 wide; abdomen 2.63 long, 1.68 wide. Carapace square and yellow brown; median ocular region raised and dark; radial groove distinct. Chelicerae with single row of teeth, apical and basal teeth smaller. Sternum, labium and endite yellowish-brown. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.08, ALE 0.11, PME 0.08, PLE 0.09, AME – AME 0.07, AME – ALE 0.18, PME – PME 0.46, PME – PLE 0.03. MOA 0.14 long, anterior width 0.22, posterior width 0.58.

Leg light yellowish-brown, weakly covered with bristles; tibiae and metatarsi of legs II – IV covered with spinules. Abdomen dark, with brown scutum anteriorly. Spinnerets light yellow.</p><p>Palp (Figs 1 A – C, 2 A – D). Tibia swollen, about 2 × longer than wide; cymbium yellow and short. Embolus and conductor oriented longitudinally, pointing distally. Conductor with sclerotized margin; apex slightly broadened, with one prominent tooth and sharp edge opposite the tooth. Embolus slender, apex narrower than base with slight bend in ventral view.</p><p>Female (paratype, Fig. 3 E – G). Total length 13.43 (with chelicerae). Carapace 4.08 long, 3.19 wide; abdomen 6.29 long, 4.61 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.11, ALE 0.17, PME 0.18, PLE 0.11, AME – AME 0.10, AME – ALE 0.58, PME – PME 1.07, PME – PLE 0.40. MOA 0.47 long, anterior width 0.30, posterior width 1.23. Clypeus height 0.65. Leg measurements: leg I 6.09 (2.16, 2.10, 1.02, 0.81), II 5.68 (1.83, 1.90, 1.04, 0.91), III 6.47 (2.25, 2.33, 0.96, 0.93), IV 7.23 (2.80, 2.41, 1.13, 0.89). Leg formula: 4312. Legs robust and orange. Carapace orange brown, marginal area with black striations; fovea distinct. Chelicerae with a line of various-sized teeth, cheliceral base with a few rows of tiny denticles. Abdomen with white scutum anteriorly; genital furrow curved. Other characters as in male.</p><p>Epigyne (Fig. 3 A – D). Female genitalia with two broad and weakly sclerotized basal plates in ventral view. Two cauliflower-like receptacula on each plate in dorsal view; apex with sclerotized particles and basal stalks relatively smooth; middle receptacula larger than the lateral. Female palp short, tibiae and tarsi flattened.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Known only from the type locality (Fig. 8).</p><p>Variation in female genitalia.</p><p>The size of the receptaculum and plate varies in the examined samples (Fig. 3 A – D), probably due to differences in female age. The receptaculum seems to be well developed in specimen YLS-16-1212 (Fig. 3 A, B) and less developed in specimen YLS-17-0201 (Fig. 3 C, D).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>We tried to extract DNA from Calommata yueluensis sp. nov. (♂ ♀). Unfortunately, the quality of the DNA extracted from these specimens was not good enough for PCR, possibly because they had been deposited for nearly 10 years and their DNA had not been adequately preserved. However, through thorough morphological analyses and comparisons, it is confirmed that the specimen is distinct from all known Calommata species to date, and is hereby recognized as a new species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2E5D6182E17C5CB49C9E75812CF25C84	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
