Formed from the Chinese words for metal (jīn) and dragon (lóng ), referring to the element and animal of the Chinese zodiac when the holotype was first collected. Diagnosis . Distinguished from M. changouzi by having the scape thicker basally than distally (Fig. 18D), from M. goudao by the presence of a scape (absent in M. goudao ; Fig. 29F ), from other Chinese Mysmena by the much longer distal part curved posteriorly and dorsally (Fig. 18D; compare to Figs 25F , 30A ). Description . Carapace pale yellow, darker in head region. Sternum medium brown. Legs pale yellow, darker distally. Femoral spots on legs I and II. Abdomen dark gray with series of white patches dorsally and pair of unjoined longitudinal white lines laterally; posterior tubercle absent (Fig. 15F-H). Vulva: Epigynum a scape, base soft and wrinkled, projects ventrally, distal tip curves posteriorly (Fig. 18D). Sclerotized portion of spermatheca/copulatory duct complexes separated by nearly twice their width (Fig. 21C). Fertilization ducts arise from posterior part of spermathecae, curve mesally. Female (CASENT 9016254): Total length 1.38, carapace 0.37 long, 0.38 wide, clypeus 0.07, sternum 0.26 long, 0.26 wide, coxa IV separated by 1.79 times their width. Macrosetae: Leg I: patella d1, tibia d1; Leg II: patella d1, tibia d1; Leg III: patella d1, tibia d1; Leg IV: patella d1, tibia d1. Metatarsal trichobothria: TmI: 0.33; TmII: 0.32; TmIII: 0.39.
