Genus Zhuanlema Zhao & Li gen. nov.
Type species.
Zhuanlema peteri sp. nov. from Luang Prabang Province, Laos.
Etymology.
The generic name is derived from “Zhuan”, referring to the Chinese pinyin “zhuan”, indicating that the apex of the embolus is twisted, and “-lema” which is a convention from the type genus of the family. Feminine in gender.
Diagnosis.
The new genus resembles species in the bailongensis -group but can be distinguished by the following characters: the apex of the embolus is twisted (Fig. 28C View Figure 28 ) (vs. tube-like embolus), the cymbial apophysis is located basally and four times shorter than the width of the cymbial base (Fig. 28C, D View Figure 28 ) (vs. cymbial apophysis located mesially or sub-basally, and longer or 1-3 times shorter than the width of the cymbial base). Females can be distinguished by the sclerotized receptacle (Fig. 29A View Figure 29 ) (vs. membranous).
