Indopadilla sabivia Maddison, sp. nov. Figs 117-120 View Figures 117–120

Type material.

Holotype male (specimen d107, in UBCZ) from Malaysia: Sabah: Village of Kiabau. Central Sabah. 5.8315°N, 117.2245°E, 23 November 2000 K. Ober #00.437.

Etymology.

An arbitrary combination of letters, ungendered. Other names: In WPM’s lab notebooks the informal code for this species was “BVSAB”.

Diagnosis.

Palp similar to I. kahariana with a short sharp embolus with a TmA behind it, but the TmA is broader and more retrolaterally placed than in I. kahariana . RTA with sharp point, unlike the broad flat RTA of I. kahariana . These two species are sister groups on the molecular phylogeny (Fig. 1 View Figures 1–3 ).

Description.

Male (based on holotype, specimen d107). Carapace length 2.8; abdomen length 3.8. Overall appearance similar to that of I. kahariana , paler coloured than many male Indopadilla , honey to medium brown. Carapace medium brown to honey coloured, darker on sides, with ocular area and larger portion of dorsal thorax quite pale. Clypeus narrow, exposing white arthrodial membrane. Chelicerae brown, with lateral ridge. Six retromarginal teeth, on long ridge. Palp pale except basal part of femur. Embolus short and sharp, with broad TmA behind (Fig. 117 View Figures 117–120 ). Legs mostly honey coloured, first somewhat darker and with ventral fringe on patella through metatarsus. Abdomen in alcohol similar to that of female I. kahariana , with series of darker paired spots dorsally and elongated pale spots along the side.
