Material examined. None.

Diagnosis. Telema wunderlichi seems similar to T. guihua from Guizhou. The former may be distinguished by the long oval pedipalpal bulb, the evenly tube-shaped spermatheca that slightly curved proximally ( Song & Zhu, 1994, figs. D, E).

Description. Female. Total length 1.06–1.90. Prosoma 0.78 long, 0.58 wide. Opisthosoma 0.97 long, 0.71 wide, 1.16 high. Dorsal shield of prosoma yellow, sleek. Eyes absent. Chelicerae with a large tooth and several denticles at promargin, several small denticles at retromargin. Labium semilunar, margin curved distally. Sternum posterior corner sharp. Legs brown-yellow, long and thin. Leg I longer than body length. Leg measurements: I 6.81 (2.13, 2.32, 1.45, 0.91); II 6.04 (1.90, 2.10, 1.23, 0.81); III 4.35 (1.35, 1.45, 0.94, 0.61); IV 5.15 (1.67, 1.61, 1.12, 0.75). Leg formula: I-II-IV-III. Opisthosoma nearly white, without pigmentation pattern, covered sparse gray setae.

Male. Total length 1.48. Prosoma 0.73 long, 0.55 wide. Opisthosoma 0.35 long, 0.55 wide, 0.71 high. Pedipalp length: 0.81 (0.16, 0.10, 0.15, 0.40). Leg measurements: I 7.12 (2.10, 2.45, 1.60, 0.97); II 6.26 (1.94, 2.18, 1.39, 0.75); III 4.61 (1.45, 1.55, 1.00, 0.61); IV 5.13 (1.67, 1.61, 1.20, 0.65). Leg formula: I-II-IV-III.
