Type material.

Holotype ♂ (IZCAS), CHINA: Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Menghai County, Mangun Village, Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve, secondary forest (22.02953°N, 100.39518°E), 1.I.2013, Q. Zhao & Z. Chen leg.

Etymology.

The specific name is derived from the type locality, Mangun Village; adjective.

Diagnosis.

Hamus mangunensis sp. n. is easily distinguished from the other Hamus species by a tiny dentiform distal process of the paracymbium (Dp) (Fig. 5B, D), more developed in the other species, and by the wide terminal apophysis process I (Ta-I) with a blunt tip (Fig. 5A, D) which is absent in Hamus cornutus sp. n. (Fig. 1A, D), very short in Hamus kangdingensis sp. n. (Fig. 3D, G) and narrower with a sharp point in Hamus bowoensis (see Ballarin and Li 2015: 180, fig. 1 B–D).

Description.

Habitus cannot be properly described due to the very poor condition of the sample.

Male palp (Fig. 5 A–D): paracymbium weakly sclerotized, dorsal apophysis laminar and translucent, ventral apophysis broad and earlobe-shaped, distal process very tiny, sclerotized (Fig. 5 A–B, D). Terminal apophysis well-developed and strongly sclerotized, with two elongate processes (Ta-I-II) forming together a C-like structure (Fig. 5A, C, D). Conductor with two processes near its base, Cp-I short and flat, hook-like, Cp-II elongate and laminar, forming a curved groove. (Fig. 5A, C).

Female. Unknown.

Habitat.

Forest leaf litter.

Distribution.

Known only from the type locality (Fig. 81).
