Type material.
Holotype: CHINA · 1 ♂; Hainan Province, Baoting County, Maogan Town, Zaye Village; 18.60°N, 109.57°E; alt. 410 m; 21 August 2017; D. Li, F.X. Liu and X. Xu leg.; XUX-2017-195 (matured on 25 August 2018 at HNU). Paratype: CHINA · 1 ♀; same data as for holotype; XUX-2017-196.
Diagnosis.
Male of Q. baoting sp. nov. can be distinguished from that of Q. baishensis , Q. jianfeng , Q. nui , Q. wuzhi , and the other three new species by the conductor with a pointed apex (Fig. 2A-D View Figure 2 ); from all the other Qiongthela species by the contrategulum with four edges distally (Fig. 2A, D View Figure 2 ), and by the marginal apophysis of the tegulum with a flake-like, semi-translucent apex (Fig. 2A, D, F View Figure 2 ). Female of Q. baoting sp. nov. differs from that of Q. baishensis and Q. nui by the base of the lateral receptacular clusters close to the inners, and by the genital stalks of the inners thicker than those of the laterals (Fig. 2G, H View Figure 2 ); from the other Qiongthela species by two paired receptacular clusters all along the anterior margin of the bursa copulatrix, with distinct genital stalks, and the inners larger than the laterals (Fig. 2G, H View Figure 2 ).
Description.
Male (holotype, Fig. 1B View Figure 1 ). Carapace dark brown; opisthosoma light brown, with 12 dark brown tergites, close to each other, the first 2-7 larger than others, and the fourth largest; sternum narrow, much longer than wide; a few fine pointed hairs running over the ocular area; chelicerae with promargin of cheliceral groove bearing 9 denticles of variable size; legs with firm hairs and spines; 7 spinnerets. Measurements: BL 12.39, CL 6.17, CW 5.62, OL 6.44, OW 4.52; ALE> PLE> PME> AME; leg I 17.60 (5.15 + 1.65 + 3.82 + 4.28 + 2.69), leg II 16.95 (4.71 + 1.48 + 3.67 + 4.30 + 2.79), leg III 19.26 (4.56 + 1.31 + 3.73 + 6.04 + 3.63), leg IV 25.77 (6.52 + 1.61 + 5.32 + 7.68 + 4.64).
Palp. Cymbium with a short, thick projection dorsally (Fig. 2F View Figure 2 ); paracymbium unpigmented and unsclerotised prolaterally, with numerous setae at the tip (Fig. 2A, B View Figure 2 ). Contrategulum with an irregular dentate edge proximally and four edges distally: the inner edge sharp, very short; the middle two edges serrate, one towards the proximal portion of contrategulum, the other ended at the centre of the contrategulum; the outer edge short, smooth, slightly sclerotised (Fig. 2A, D, F View Figure 2 ). The marginal apophysis of tegulum long, wide basally, with a flake-like and semi-translucent apex distally (Fig. 2A, D View Figure 2 ), a proximally directed terminal apophysis of tegulum with smooth margin, narrowing to a slightly hooked apex (Fig. 2A-E View Figure 2 ). Conductor situated ventro-proximally on embolus, basal portion fused with embolus, distal free narrowing to a pointed apex (Fig. 2A-E View Figure 2 ). Embolus largely sclerotised, with a wide, flat opening of sperm duct distally (Fig. 2A, D, E View Figure 2 ).
Female (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ). Carapace dark brown; opisthosoma reddish brown, with 12 red-brown tergites, close to each other, the first 2-7 larger than the others, and the fourth largest; sternum narrow, nearly twice as long as wide; a few fine pointed hairs running over the ocular area; chelicerae robust with promargin of cheliceral groove containing 10 denticles of variable size; legs with firm hairs and spines; 7 spinnerets. Measurements: BL 16.35, CL 7.30, CW 6.12, OL 7.59, OW 6.25; ALE> PLE> PME> AME; palp 10.09 (3.66 + 1.01 + 2.60 + 2.82), leg I 11.78 (3.69 + 1.16 + 3.02 + 2.35 + 1.57), leg II 12.34 (3.94 + 1.44 + 2.69 + 2.58 + 1.70), leg III 10.99 (3.21 + 1.04 + 2.35 +2.90 + 1.47), leg IV 20.26 (5.85 + 1.93 + 4.17 + 5.45 + 2.86).
Female genitalia. Two pairs of receptacular clusters along the anterior margin of the bursa copulatrix, close to each other, the inner ones distinctly larger than the laterals, with genital stalks thicker than those of the laterals (Fig. 2G, H View Figure 2 ).
