Diagnosis.
Females of H. shuri sp. nov. can be distinguished from those of H. tokashiki sp. nov. by paired receptacular clusters with larger granules ( Fig. 20 A–D View Figure 20 ). Heptathela shuri sp. nov. can also be diagnosed from all other Okinawa group Heptathela species by the following unique nucleotide substitutions in the standard DNA barcode alignment: G (89), G (131), C (134), C (396), C (510), C (512), A (524), T (641).
