Type material.

Holotype female (specimen IDWM.20012, in UBCZ) from Malaysia: Sarawak: Kubah Nat. Pk., roadside, 1.603-4°N, 110.185°E, 350 m el. 7 March 2012 Maddison/Piascik/Ang/Lee WPM#12-002. Paratype female (specimen SWK12-0080, in UBCZ) from Malaysia: Sarawak: Kubah Nat. Pk., Waterfall Trail, 1.605-6°N, 110.185-7°E, 300 m el. 7 March 2012 Maddison/Piascik/Ang/Lee WPM#12-001.

Etymology.

An arbitrary combination of letters, ungendered. Other names: In WPM’s lab notebooks the informal code for this species was “BVMT2”; it was also sometimes confused with I. redunca and labelled “BVMTT”.

Diagnosis.

Similar in colour and epigyne to I. redunca . The epigyne differs in having the anterior part of the cavernous ECP with a more sharply defined boundary, the openings not behind a curved ridge, and the edge of the opening clearly sinuate (Fig. 113 ). The abdominal dorsum has fine reticulate markings throughout, not showing the unmarked posterior third. First leg markings match those of I. redunca except that anterior base of first femur with dark patch. Pale area on thoracic slope much broader than in I. redunca .

Description.

Female (based on holotype, specimen IDWM.20012). Carapace length 3.6; abdomen length 5.7. Carapace integument medium to dark red-brown, except upper part of thorax between and beside eyes, continuing as a broad medial pale area to pedicel. Clypeus dark, extremely narrow, exposing broad white arthrodial membrane. Chelicerae light brown, concave in front. Five teeth on retromargin. Legs pale except dark brown on middle of first tibia and metatarsus, and darker patch at front base of first femur. Abdomen red-brown, with delicate reticulate pale markings. Epigyne (Fig. 113 ) with large cavernous ECP; openings sinuate, resembling those of dendryphantines.
