Eye sizes and interdistances (Fig. 8 A): ALE 0.07, PME 0.04, PLE 0.07, ALE - PME 0.04, PLE - PLE 0.05, PLE - PME 0.02; AER 0.1, PER 0.14. Clypeus 0.05 high. Chelicerae with nine promarginal and five retromarginal teeth. Endites oval-shaped, with 9 club-shaped setae on the upper inner side. Labium nearly semicircular, wider than long. Sternum (Fig. 8 B) shield-shaped, longer than wide. Legs (Fig. 8 A, B): with short setae; measurements: I 1.43 (1.22, 0.21, missing); II 3.45 (0.49, 0.19, 0.45, 0.36, 0.2); III 0.98 (0.77, 0.21, missing); IV missing. Pedicel 0.07.

Sternum yellow to dark brown, with many ruleless dark brown spots on the surface. Legs yellowish to yellow. Abdomen yellowish to brown, with several brown stripes along the margin; venter yellow to brown.</p><p>Palp (Fig. 8 C-I). Femur with strong spines on each side, ventral view with three long and stout spines especially; patella expanded, with one strong and short stick-like spines retrolaterally. Cymbium with a notch subapically. Bulb (Fig. 8 F-I): embolus tube-like, slender, middle part slightly curved, and then almost parallel to the median apophysis; median apophysis lamellar, extremely long, curves twice into an S-shape, roughly the same length as the embolus; conductor membranous, close adheres to the embolus.</p><p>Female. Unknown.</p><p>Biology.</p><p>Sampled on the woodland floor.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Known only from Guangdong Province, China (Fig. 13).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species is named after Mr Song-Yuan Liu, who collected the type specimens.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E88FA939E2625BDEB76FF1B4540FAE66	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
