Pseudopoda bachmaensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. Figs 22–23 View FIGURE 22 View FIGURE 23 , Map 2
Type material. VIETNAM, Thua Thien-Hue Province: Holotype male from Bach Ma National Park [16.20°N, 107.86°E], 1400 m, 6 May 2003 , H. Ono leg. ( NSMT, NSM0001 ) GoogleMaps . Paratype: 1 male, with same data as for holotype. ( NSMT, NSM0002 ) GoogleMaps .
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality, the Bach Ma National Park; adjective.
Diagnosis. The male of P. bachmaensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to that of P. ohne Logunov & Jäger, 2015 ( Logunov & Jäger 2015) by having no C and a short E, but can be distinguished by the large tegular apophysis at the base of the E (without such apophysis in P. ohne ). The male of P. bachmaensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is also similar to that of P. namkhan Jäger et al., 2006 ( Jäger et al. 2006) in the similar arrangement of the E with a prolaterad tip in ventral view and a trilobate RTA, but can be distinguished by the absence of C, the presence of the massive tegular apophysis and the RTA with dorsal and median lobe roughly the same size (C present, tegular apophysis absent and RTA with dorsal lobe larger in P. namkhan ).
MALE (NSM0001): Measurements: Small sized. Body length 9.9, DS length 4.5, width 4.2, OS length 5.4, width 3.4. Eyes: AME 0.22, ALE 0.31, PME 0.25, PLE 0.28, AME–AME 0.15, AME–ALE 0.08, PME–PME 0.19, PME–PLE 0.30, AME–PME 0.25, ALE–PLE 0.23, CH AME 0.37, CH ALE 0.26. Spination: Pp 131, 010, 2111; Fe I–III 323, IV 322; Pa I–IV 101; Ti I 2226, II–IV 2126; Mt I–II 1014, III 2025, IV 3037. Measurements of palps and legs: Pp 7.7 (2.2, 1.3, 1.6, –, 2.6); I 23.9 (6.9, 2.4, 6.7, 5.8, 2.1); II 28.8 (7.7, 2.5, 8.7, 7.5, 2.4); III
21.0 (6.0, 2.2, 5.6, 5.4, 1.8); IV 25.0 (7.4, 1.7, 6.5, 7.1, 2.3). Leg formula: II-IV-I-III. Cheliceral furrow with ca. 16 denticles.
Palp ( Figs 22A–C View FIGURE 22 ): As in diagnosis. T oval, with prominent tegular apophysis situated prolaterally at the base of the E, covering E base in prolateral view. E arising from T at 10:30 o’clock position, short, strongly sclerotised. Spermophor running submarginally retrolaterally in T, then near the basal of E, meandering like a river. RTA originates from Ti medially to distally, with three similarly sized short apices.
Colouration ( Figs 23A–B View FIGURE 23 ): DS yellow, with few dark lines accompanied with bristles. Fovea and striae distinctly marked. OS dorsally cream white with reddishbrown pattern in posterior part, ventrally with few brown marks in front of spinnerets.
FEMALE: Unknown.
Distribution. Vietnam (Thua Thien-Hue Province).
