Type material examined. Paratypes: 2 males ( ZMNH), Qianren Cave and Woyun Cave, Hangzhou [30°16´N, 120°09´E], Zhejiang, China, 24 May 1984, Y. Shen & F. Gao leg.

Diagnosis. Leptonetela hangzhouensis is similar to L. microdonta ( Xu & Song, 1983) , but can be distinguished by the presence of nine promarginal cheliceral teeth, the distal two wider spaced, and six small retromarginal teeth ( Fig. 15A); five spines on the retrolateral surface of male palpal tibia, with the second one longest ( Figs 13D, 14B); the fork-shaped median apophysis, and the presence of four teeth on median apophysis, with the first and fourth teeth stronger than others in the male ( Figs 13B, 15B).

Description. Male: total length 2.60 ( Fig. 13A). Prosoma 1.12 long, 0.90 wide. Opisthosoma 1.25 long, 1.00 wide. Sternum 0.75 long, 0.50 wide ( Fig. 15C). Prosoma dark yellow, somewhat quadrate, and with a pair of setae retrolateral of PLE. Median groove needle-shaped, pale brown. Cervical grooves and radial furrow distinct, pale brown. Eyes six, measurements: ALE 0.08, PLE 0.07, PME 0.05; ALE-PME 0.11, PLE-PLE 0.08, PLE-PME 0.05; AER 0.14, PER 0.20. Clypeus 0.12 high, slightly sloped anteriorly. Chelicera ( Fig. 15A) dark yellow, with nine promarginal teeth, the distal two wider spaced and five small retromarginal teeth. Endites and labium dark yellow. Sternum and legs yellowish. Leg measurements: I 10.63 (2.87, 0.37, 3.10, 2.42, 1.87); II 7.89 (2.22, 0.37, 2.10, 1.95, 1.25); III 6.56 (1.90, 0.35, 1.72, 1.58, 1.01); IV 8.52 (2.20, 0.37, 2.50, 2.20, 1.25). Leg formula: I-IV-II-III. Femur I–IV with one short spine ventrally and basally. Tibia I with one short spine dorsally (position 0.5), tibia II III with two short spines dorsally (0.3 and 0.6). Male palp ( Figs 13C–D, 14A–B): tibia with four trichobothria dorsally, one long seta and five spines retrolaterally, with the second spine longest; tarsus with three strong spines distally. Tip of the bulb ( Figs 13B, 15B): median apophysis fork-shaped, with four teeth distally, the first and fourth teeth stronger than others, conductor lamellar, embolus triangular.

Variation. Total length: males 2.60–2.45 (n = 2).

Distribution. China (Zhejiang).

Remarks. Type specimens were originally deposited in the Department of Biology, Hangzhou Normal College, but transferred to ZMNH in 1998.
