Draposa zhanjiangensis View in CoL (Yin, Wang, Peng & Xie, 1995) comb. nov.

Pardosa zhanjiangensis Yin , Wang, Peng & Xie, 1995: 74, 77, figs 18-22 (♂♀). Yin et al. 1997: 281, fig. 133 (♂♀, identical with previous reference). Song et al. 1999, figs 199Q, 200B (♂♀ from Yin et al. 1995).

Type material. Holotype ♀: China, Guangdong Province, Zhanjiang City (21°12'N 110°24'E) GoogleMaps (together with 1♂ 1 ♀ paratypes) in Hunan Biology Research Institute, Changsha, not examined GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis. Male may be distinguished by shape of tegular apophysis, notably the somewhat squared projection in the basal half (Yin et al. 1995, fig. 22; Yin et al. 1997, fig. 133e) [acute projection(-s) in the other known congenerics], female by shape of epigyne, notably size and form of tongue-like septum (Yin et al. 1995, fig. 19; Yin et al. 1997, fig. 133b; Song et al. 1999, fig. 200B).

Remarks. The illustrations supplied with the original description show details typical for the genus Draposa , e. g., the shape of the tegular apophysis and the presence of a subpaleal sclerite in the male palp as well as the shape of the epigyne, with a tongue-like septum, in the female (Yin et al.: references above)

Material of a congener from Malaysia [Sarawak, Bako National Park (1° 44'N 110°28'E), grassy patch on sandy seashore, 17 October 1979 (K. & B.Bremer), 1♂ 4♀ (Fig. 56)] and Indonesia [Belitung (2°50'S 107°55'E), sandy seashore, 27 August 1899 (C. Aurivillius), 1♂ 2♀] is present in NHRS. This is very close to or conspecific with Draposa zhanjiangensis . Norma-Rashid & Li (2009) reported specimens identified as D. zhanjiangensis from the island of Tioman off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Comparison with Chinese specimens should be undertaken in order to confirm conspecificity. Two females of Draposa in NHRS from Indonesia [Sumatra, Medan (3°35'N 98°40'E), 1920 (E. Mjöberg)] have epigynes with a considerably shorter tongue-like septum (Fig. 57) compared with D. zhanjiangensis from China (Yin et al.: references above) and the material from Sarawak (Fig. 56); these specimens may belong to a close, presumably undescribed species. Distribution. China: Guangdong (but see Remarks above).
