Tekellina huihangi Lin & Li , sp. nov. ( Figs 57B View Figure 57 , 58B View Figure 58 , 59B View Figure 59 , 60C–D View Figure 60 )
Etymology. The specific name is dedicated to Mr. Huihang Cai who collected the type specimens; noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis. The male of the new species can be distinguished from other congeners by the needle-shaped ventral arm of the conductor with a serrated tip. The female shares the same shape of the spermathecae with T. haosiwen Lin &Li , sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the copulatory ducts with 6 loops (vs. 3 loops).
Description. Male (holotype). Total length 0.73, carapace 0.33 long, 0.37 wide, opisthosoma 0.41 long, 0.46 wide. Leg measurements: I 0.82 (0.26, 0.30, 0.16, 0.10), II 0.80 (0.25, 0.29, 0.15, 0.11), III 0.57 (0.17, 0.18, 0.11, 0.11), IV 0.57 (0.18, 0.17, 0.11, 0.11).
Coloration ( Fig. 60C View Figure 60 ). Carapace oval, pale yellow, eye region projecting anteriorly; clypeus concave. Eyes almost equal in size, red-brown ring around eyes. Legs white, with dense gray setae. Opisthosoma pale yellow, almost as long as wide, with white spots and red pattern.
Palp ( Figs 57B View Figure 57 , 58B View Figure 58 ). Patella almost 1.5 times longer than tibia. Cymbium circular, with paracymbium projecting and hooked. Bulb round. Retrolateral arm of conductor finger shaped, ventral arm of conductor needle shaped, tip with 3 serrations. Embolus thin, long and largely coiled with thick base.
Female (one paratype Ar44872). Total length 1.06, carapace 0.43 long, 0.41 wide, opisthosoma 0.71 long, 0.79 wide. Leg measurements: I 1.72 (0.56, 0.63, 0.33, 0.20), II 1.68 (0.52, 0.62, 0.31, 0.23), III 1.18 (0.37, 0.37, 0.24, 0.20), IV 1.47 (0.46, 0.50, 0.29, 0.22) .
Coloration ( Fig. 60D View Figure 60 ). Habitus similar to that of male except paler.
Epigyne ( Fig. 59B View Figure 59 ). Epigynal plate almost as long as wide. Copulatory openings oval, distance between copulatory openings as wide as distance between spermathecae. Copulatory ducts long, transparent, with 6 loops around spermathecae. Spermathecae oblong, almost 3 times longer than wide. Fertilization duct directed at 12:00-o’clock-position from spermatheca.
