Material examined. 1 female ( SMF 56211 ), L15, by hand, 8.III.2006 GoogleMaps .

The species was described from Taiwan ( Kishida 1936). Later it was recorded from four southern provinces in China: Hunan, Hainan, Guangxi, and Yunnan ( Zhang et al. 2004). The single female from the Nam Khan river in Ban Keng Koung represents the first record for Laos. The animal was sitting on a wooden boat, ambushing for prey during day time.

Although the present specimen (total length 23 mm) is dictinctly larger than those mentioned for China (total length 10-14 mm) and some details of the internal duct system are differing (i.e. relatively larger anterior loops, larger fertilisation ducts), it is considered conspecific with specimens from China ( Zhang et al. 2004: figs. 19- 20) as general shape of epigynum and epigynal field (e.g. anterior bands included in the field) as well as course and shape of the internal duct system and body colouration are congruent.
