Pachyloscelis fulvipes Lucas, 1836; gender feminine</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Calommata spiders can be distinguished from those of Atypus and Sphodros by the following characters: 1) eye region separated from anterior margin of carapace by 0.5–1.0× length of MOA; eight eyes clearly divided into three groups in a 3-2-3 pattern, with each group possessing its own ocular tubercle (Fig. 2A, C) (vs. eye region tightly adjacent to the anterior margin of carapace; eight eyes roughly divided into two groups of four on each side, but all eyes sharing just one ocular tubercle in the other two genera, as in Wu et al. 2025: figs 3A, 4A; Gertsch &amp; Platnick 1980: figs 21, 27); 2) presence of a distinct groove between the labium and sternum (Fig. 2B, D) (vs. labium fused to the sternum in the other two genera, as in Wu et al. 2025: figs 3D, 4D; Gertsch &amp; Platnick 1980: figs 21, 28); 3) posterior lateral spinnerets three-segmented (Fourie et al. 2011: fig. 32; Levy 2007: fig. 7) (vs. four-segmented in the other two genera, as in Li et al. 2018: fig. 2E; Gertsch &amp; Platnick 1980: fig. 23); 4) tibia about twice as long as palpal cymbium in males (Fig. 3A; Fourie et al. 2011: fig. 53) (vs. tibia about equal in length to palpal cymbium in the other two genera, as in Wu et al. 2025: fig. 3E; Gertsch &amp; Platnick 1980: fig. 25); 5) embolus straight, slender, and about as long as palpal cymbium (Fig. 3A) (vs. embolus straight, short, and about half the cymbium length in Atypus, as in Wu et al. 2025: fig. 3E; embolus curved, slender, and longer than the cymbium in Sphodros, as in Gertsch &amp; Platnick 1980: fig. 25); 6) presence of two lateral pore patches, and receptacula with distinct granules, overall resembling cauliflowers (Fig. 3H) (vs. two lateral pore patches present but receptacula bulbous or pyriform without distinct granules in Atypus, as in Wu et al. 2025: fig. 4F; pore patches absent and receptacula highly coiled with paired fused bases in Sphodros, as in Gertsch &amp; Platnick 1980: figs 29, 30).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0A14878A7A5A1E11FF79F9AEFBEC8EB6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Liu leg; HNU1404.</p><p>Paratype: 1 ♀, same data as holotype; Y. Wu leg; HNU1405 .</p><p>Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition, derived from the type locality, Chishui City, Guizhou Province, China.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Males of Calommata chishui sp. nov. can be readily distinguished from all other known congeners by the distinctly white palpal patella (Fig. 1B, C), whereas in all other species of the genus, the patella is concolorous with the remaining palpal segments. The male of this new species resembles those of Calommata megae Fourie, Haddad &amp; Jocqué, 2011 and C. sundaica (Doleschall, 1859) in the shape of palpal bulb (cf. Fig. 3A, C, D, G with Fourie et al. 2011: figs 53, 55; Levy 2007: fig. 9a, b), but can be distinguished by a wider space between embolus and conductor, nearly half the width of palpal bulb in lateral view (Fig. 3A, C, D, G) (vs. a narrower space, less than onefourth of the palpal bulb width, in C. megae and C. sundaica; as in Fourie et al. 2011: figs 53, 55; Levy 2007: fig. 9a, b). It also resembles C. signata Karsch, 1879 in the shape of palpal bulb (cf. Fig. 3A, C, D, G with Li et al. 2022: fig. 7f, g), but details of its sperm duct differ: a C-shaped section present in retrolateral view in this new species (Fig. 3F) (vs. an S-shaped section present in retrolateral view in C. signata; as in Li et al. 2022: fig. 7g).</p><p>The female of the new species can be distinguished from those of the following known Chinese Calommata species by the gap between the median pair of receptacula, which is about equal to one receptaculum in length (Fig. 3I) (vs. less than one receptaculum length in C. hangzhica F. Li &amp; Xu, 2022, C. jinggangica, C. yuanjiangica F. Li &amp; Xu, 2022, as in Li et al. 2022: figs 5f, 6f, 9f, respectively; about 1.5 times the receptaculum length in C. signata Karsch, 1879, as in Li et al. 2022: fig. 7b).</p><p>It can also be distinguished from C. jinggangica by the receptacula bearing relatively more cauliflower-like granules (Fig. 3I) (vs. relatively fewer rounded granules; as in Li et al. 2022: fig. 6f), and by the cheliceral groove with an additional row of two small teeth near the prolateral side (Fig. 2H, I) (vs. two small teeth near the retrolateral side, as in Li et al. 2022: fig. 6d, e); distinguished from C. signata and C. yuanjiangica by the relatively slender basal stalks of the receptacula (vs. broader receptacula with thick stalks, as in Li et al. 2022: figs 7b, 9f, respectively).</p><p>Description. Male (holotype HNU1404). TL 6.38. CL 1.92, CW 1.93, AL 2.57, AW 1.57. Carapace dark brown. Median ocular tubercle strongly elevated, with flattened posterior part traversed by distinct thoracic furrow (Fig. 2A). Eye diameters and interdistances: AME 0.10, ALE 0.11, PME 0.09, PLE 0.09; AME–AME 0.11, AME–ALE 0.28, PME–PME 0.63, PME–PLE 0.05. MOA 0.27 long, front width 0.29, back width 0.78. Labium nearly rectangular, wider than long (Fig. 2B). Gnathocoxae dark gray, strongly elongated and curved dorsally on the prolateral margin (Fig. 1D). Sternum gray, 1.49 long, 1.24 wide, clothed with fine black hairs; posterior two pairs of sigilla clearly visible (Fig. 2B). Chelicerae light brown, with 14 teeth arranged in single row, basal four especially small and distal one located at most distant end of chelicera (Fig. 2E–G). Legs slender, greenish brown, gradually becoming yellow from femora to tarsi; coxae and trochanters grayish brown (Fig. 1C, D). Leg lengths are as follows: I 8.72 (2.47, 0.82, 1.65, 2.02, 1.76), II 7.95 (2.20, 0.89, 1.16, 1.92, 1.78), III 7.98 (1.74, 0.95, 0.94, 2.08, 2.27), IV 9.95 (2.38, 1.03, 1.35, 2.36, 2.83). Leg formula: 4132.</p><p>Abdomen dark brown, pyriform, mottled with fine light dots, with glossy black dorsal scutum occupying about 7/10 of the abdomen length (Fig. 1C, D). Six spinnerets: ALS 0.20 long, finger-like, single-segmented; PMS 0.43 long, subtriangular, single-segmented; PLS three-segmented, basal 0.35, median 0.32, apical 0.62, total 1.29.</p><p>Palp (Fig. 3A–G): Patella white, tibia about twice as long as palpal cymbium. Palpal bulb irregular in shape; distal margin of conductor strongly curved. Embolus slender, straight, about as long as palpal cymbium, directed towards edge of conductor; broad, nearly trapezoidal space between embolus and conductor in lateral view.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0A14878A7A5B1E16FF79F92BFAB98AA6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
