Etymology. The specific name is from the Latin corrugus , meaning wrinkled and referring to the shape of the copulatory ducts, adjective.
Diagnosis. This species is similar to L. guoi sp. nov. ( Figs 9 b, c View FIGURES 9 a – e ) in having a large atrium, but can be separated from the latter by: dorsal shield of prosoma light yellow with 1 pair of brown stripes (blackish brown in L. guoi ); the form of the atrium rim; copulatory openings separated from each other much further; copulatory ducts also separated from each other much further.
Description. Female (holotype): Total length 3.00. Prosoma 1.40 long, 1.20 wide; opisthosoma 1.70 long, 1.45 wide. Dorsal shield of prosoma yellow, with a pair of blackish brown lateral stripes. Eye area brown. Eye tubercles blackish brown with white rim. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.07, ALE 0.15, PME 0.05, PLE 0.10; AME-AME 0.15, AME-ALE 0.10, PME-PME 0.20, PME-PLE 0.25; MOA 0.25 long, front width 0.30, back width 0.33. Sternum yellow. Chelicerae, gnathocoxae and labium yellow. Legs yellow with many spines, including femora: I prolateral 0-1-1-1, dorsal 0-1-0-1, II, III dorsal 1(weak)-1-0-1, IV dorsal 0-1-0-0; tibiae: I, II ventral 1–2, III, IV ventral 0–1; metatarsi I, II ventral 2–2. Leg measurements: I: 3.60 (1.20, 1.10, 0 70, 0.60), II: 3.90 (1.20, 1.30, 0.80, 0.60), III: 2.60 (0.90, 0.80, 0.50, 0.40), IV: 2.90 (1.00, 0.90, 0.60, 0.40); formula 2, 1, 4, 3. Opisthosoma dorsum yellow, markings blackish brown, dorsum with 1 pair of broken longitudinal stripes; posteriorly with 3 pairs of small lateral spots; venter yellow with a U-shaped marking before spinnerets.
Epigyne-vulva ( Figs 5 d–g View FIGURES 5 a – g ). Atrium large, copulatory openings medial; copulatory ducts long and convoluted; spermathecae pyriform.
Male: Unknown.
Variation. Total length: females 2.90–3.10 (n = 5). The abdominal markings vary in size and pigmentation: one specimen has grayish black markings and many small white spots; another has black markings and lacks white spots ( Figs 5 a–c View FIGURES 5 a – g ).
Distribution. China (recorded from Tengchong and Gongshan Counties of Yunnan Province).
