Telema circularis Tong & Li, 2008

T. circularis Tong & Li, 2008a: 363 , f. 1A, 2A–H. (Male holotype, 1 male and 2 female paratypes from China: Guizhou: Ganzhishu Cave, Shangguan Town [25º48ʹN, 105º40ʹE], Guangli Bouyeizu Miaozu Autonomous County, 8 May. 2005, Y.F. Tong and Y.C. Lin leg., deposited in Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, not examined).

Material examined. Paratypes: 2 males and 16 females ( IZCAS) from CHINA: Guizhou: Ganzhishu Cave, Shangguan Town, Guangli County [25º48΄N, 105º40΄E], 8 May 2005, Y.F. Tong and Y.C. Lin leg.

Diagnosis. Telema circularis seems closest to T. pedati . Males of the former may be easily distinguished by the triangular embolus and the distinct shape of bulb; females of the former by the presence of two large spines on genital area bilaterally, the proximally contracted, mesially and distally swollen of spermatheca ( Tong & Li, 2008a, fig. 2 B–E, G).

Description. See Tong and Li (2008a).

Distribution. China (Guizhou) ( Fig. 20 ).
