Longileptoneta buyongsan sp. nov. Figures 5 View Figure 5 , 6 View Figure 6 , 12 View Figure 12

Type material.

Holotype. Male (NIBR), South Korea, Chungcheongbuk-do, Eumseong-gun, Eumseong-eup, Sajeong-ri, Mt. Buyongsan (36.970236°N, 127.619596°E, elevation ca 167 m), 6 August 2019, ZG. Chen, Z. Zhao & YY. Hu leg. Paratypes. 1 male and 1 female (NIBR), same data as holotype.

Diagnosis.

Longileptoneta buyongsan sp. nov. is similar to L. gayaensis Seo, 2016 and L. songniensis Seo, 2015 but can be distinguished by the palpal tibia with one small retrolaterodistal apophysis (Fig. 5D View Figure 5 ) (vs. tibia without apophysis in L. gayaensis and L. songniensis ); by the palpal tarsus without spur at tip (Fig. 5C, D View Figure 5 ) (vs. tarsus with one spur at tip in L. gayaensis ; tarsus with one spur at tip and one prolateroproximal spur, branched retrolaterally in L. songniensis ); also distinguished from L. songniensis by the palpal bulb with needle-shaped prolateral sclerite and shoehorn-like median sclerite (Fig. 5B-D View Figure 5 ) (vs. without prolateral sclerite and finger-like median sclerite in L. songniensis ).

Description.

Male (holotype). Total length 1.86. Prosoma 0.82 long, 0.76 wide. Opisthosoma 1.04 long, 0.74 wide. Clypeus 0.11 high.

Habitus as in Fig. 5A View Figure 5 . Prosoma brownish. Eyes six (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ). Median groove, cervical grooves and radial furrows distinct. Opisthosoma yellowish, ovoid. Palp (Fig. 5C, D View Figure 5 ): femur with many strong spines (Fig. 5C, D View Figure 5 ); tibia with one small retrolaterodistal apophysis (Fig. 5D View Figure 5 ); tarsus with many spines and prolateral curvature (Fig. 5C, D View Figure 5 ). Bulb with leaf-like embolus and three types of sclerites: prolateral sclerite needle-shaped; median sclerite shoehorn-like; retrolateral sclerite transparent and triangular (Fig. 5B-D View Figure 5 ).

Female (one of the paratypes). Similar to male in color and general features, habitus as in Fig. 6A, B View Figure 6 . Total length 1.77. Prosoma 0.71 long, 0.61 wide. Opisthosoma 1.06 long, 0.70 wide. Clypeus 0.10 high.
