Etymology.

The specific name is a patronym in honor of a famous wise strategist Zhuge Kongming; noun (name) in the genitive case.

Diagnosis.

Synagelides kongmingi sp. nov. resembles that of S. tianquan Wang, Mi & Li, 2024 in having very similar habitus and copulatory organs, but differs in: 1) retrolateral cymbial apophysis ( RCA) with a smooth edge in dorsal view (Fig. 31 D View Figure 31 ) vs a shallow incision on inner edge ( Wang et al. 2024: fig. 18 D); 2) presence of a groove between the retrolateral cymbial apophysis and dorsal cymbial process (Fig. 31 D View Figure 31 ) vs absent ( Wang et al. 2024: fig. 18 D); 3) spermathecae (S) transversely extending (Fig. 32 C, D View Figure 32 ) vs anteriorly extending at lateral portions ( Wang et al. 2024: fig. 19 B); 4) accessory glands ( AG) visible (Fig. 32 C, D View Figure 32 ) vs invisible ( Wang et al. 2024: fig. 19 B).

Description.

Male (Figs 31 View Figure 31 , 32 E, F, H, I View Figure 32 ). Total length 3.42. Carapace 1.53 long, 1.15 wide. Abdomen 1.84 long, 1.10 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.36, ALE 0.20, PLE 0.18, AERW 1.08, PERW 1.18, EFL 0.89. Legs: I 3.73 (1.18, 0.90, 0.90, 0.45, 0.30), II 2.54 (0.75, 0.43, 0.58, 0.50, 0.28), III 2.61 (0.75, 0.38, 0.60, 0.60, 0.28), IV 3.51 (1.00, 0.50, 0.88, 0.80, 0.33). Carapace mainly red-brown, covered with sparse, thin setae. Legs mainly yellow except enlarged femora I brown, with lateral stripes on femora, patellae, tibiae, and metatarsi II, III, IV, and four and two pairs of ventral spines on tibiae and metatarsi I, respectively. Dorsum of abdomen divided into brown, pale and dark portions, with pair of transverse, anterior, pale stripes bearing white setae, and longitudinal, central scutum extending through anterior 1 / 3; venter pale, without distinct markings.

Palp (Fig. 31 A – D View Figure 31 ): femur length / width ratio ca 1.8; patella ~ 1.5 × longer than wide in retrolateral view; tibia ~ 1 / 3 patellar length, with flat retrolateral apophysis ( RTA) abruptly narrowed distally to blunt tip directed ca 11 o’clock position; cymbium length / width ratio ca 1.6, with flat prolateral and horn-shaped retrolateral apophyses, as well as sheet-shaped dorsal process ( DCP); tegulum swollen; median apophysis (MA) irregular, slightly bent towards ventrally at median portion; embolus (E) flat, and curved into invert C-shape at base, and followed by slightly curved, thinner, whip-shaped portion.

Female (Fig. 32 A – D, G View Figure 32 ). Total length 3.42. Carapace 1.53 long, 1.15 wide. Abdomen 1.84 long, 1.10 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.36, ALE 0.20, PLE 0.18, AERW 1.08, PERW 1.18, EFL 0.89. Legs: I 3.33 (1.00, 0.75, 0.85, 0.43, 0.30), II 2.29 (0.65, 0.38, 0.53, 0.45, 0.28), III 2.54 (0.75, 0.38, 0.58, 0.55, 0.28), IV 3.44 (1.00, 0.45, 0.88, 0.78, 0.33). Carapace (Fig. 32 G View Figure 32 ) similar to that of male except paler. Dorsum of abdomen (Fig. 32 G View Figure 32 ) pale brown; venter pale.

Epigyne (Fig. 32 A – D View Figure 32 ) ~ 1.27 × wider than long; atrium (At) occupies anterior 1 / 3, separated by broad, longitudinal septum (Se) grooved medio-posteriorly and bearing invert cup-shaped anterior hood (H), with pair of lateral arc-shaped ridges (AR) antero-laterally; copulatory openings (CO) invisible; copulatory ducts ( CD) strongly curved at proximal 1 / 3, and connected to antero-inner portions of spermathecae, with short, transversely extended, terminal accessory glands ( AG); spermathecae (S) oval, separated by ~ 1 / 8 of their width.

Distribution.
