Euochin miao sp. nov. (Ñ尧奇e)

Figs 69–77

Type material. Holotype: ♂ ( MHBU-ARA-00022213 ), CHINA: Guizhou Province, Qianxinan Prefecture, Puan Couty, Qingshan Town , Pubai Forest Farm (äü县ĀƜOiäǝū场), 25.4331°N, 104.9996°E, 1741 m elev., 4 August 2019, leg. Z. Li, Y. Li, Z. Feng, C. Zhang.

Etymology. The new species is named after the Miao people (ȅâ), the majority of whose population resides in Guizhou Province. Noun in apposition.

Diagnosis. Male resembles E. mang sp. nov., E. furva (Song & Chai, 1992) and E. fengi Lin & Li, 2023 , but can be easily distinguished from them by the combination of following characters: (1) chelicera with a single nonfurcated retromarginal tooth (vs. a fissident retromarginal tooth of more than two cusps in the other three species); (2) embolus narrower with distal end not broadened or bifurcated (vs. distal end of embolus bifurcated in E. fengi , and broadened in E. mang sp. nov. and E. furva ).

Description. Male. Habitus shown in Figs 72–73 . Carapace length 1.604; abdomen length 1.377. Measurements of eyes: AME 0.372, ALE 0.250, PME 0.070, PLE 0.218. Measurements of legs: I 2.781 (0.909, 0.421, 0.675, 0.447, 0.329), II 2.382 (0.829, 0.347, 0.532, 0.339, 0.335), III 2.667 (1.003, 0.168, 0.636, 0.536, 0.324), IV 2.858 (0.938, 0.318, 0.563, 0.641, 0.398); leg formula: 4132. Color in ethanol: carapace dark, with white setae. Abdomen dark, with white bands and patches. Chelicera ( Fig. 74 ) with two promarginal and one retromarginal teeth. Palp ( Figs 69–71, 75–77 ): patella with an obtuse Pa; tibia and dorsal cymbium with long white setae; embolus tubular; CyF undeveloped; RTA straight and short, finger-like.

Female. Unknown.

Distribution. China (Guizhou).
