Type material. Holotype: ♁ (MHBU-ARA-00025223), CHINA: Yunnan Province, Kunming City, Panlong District, Huanglongqing (ØËñ), 25.087561°N, 102.806884°E, 2014 m a.s.l., 1 June 2022, leg. W. Wang. GoogleMaps Paratypes: 2♁ 2♀ (MHBU-ARA-00025224), same data as holotype GoogleMaps .

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the historical literary name of a hill close to the type locality of this species, which is located opposite to the Lingyi (Mt. Xishan). Noun in apposition.

Diagnosis. Closely related to Euochin yangmei sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the shorter embolus, the shorter and wider RTA, as well as the thinner copulatory duct (vs. embolus notably longer, RTA longer and thinner, copulatory duct highly broadened in E. yangmei , compare Figs 144–153 View FIGURES 144–149 View FIGURES 150–153 with 199–207). Male palp also resembles that of E. albopalpalis ( Bao & Peng, 2002) , but can be distinguished by the thinner embolus tip, and the plane of the embolic disc inclining ventro-retrolaterally ( Figs 144–145 View FIGURES 144–149 , 150 View FIGURES 150–153 ; vs. embolus tip highly broadened and the plane of the embolic disc inclined ventrally in E. albopalpalis , see Bao & Peng 2002: figs 7–8). The female epigyne is also similar to that of E. atrata (Song & Chai, 1992) and E. bulbus , but differs in the tubular accessory gland that has no tapered tip ( Figs 149 View FIGURES 144–149 , 153 View FIGURES 150–153 ; vs. accessory gland with pointed tip in E. atrata and E. bulbus , see Zha et al. 2014: figs 4, 11, 15, 22).

Description. Male. Habitus see Figs 135–136 View FIGURES 135–138 , 139, 141 View FIGURES 139–143 . Carapace length 1.862; abdomen length 1.550. Eye measurements: AME 0.346, ALE 0.228, PME 0.058, PLE 0.205. Leg measurements: I 2.572 (0.863, 0.433, 0.548, 0.398, 0.330), II 2.261 (0.780, 0.371, 0.468, 0.334, 0.308), III 2.722 (0.958, 0.363, 0.537, 0.519, 0.345), IV 3.199 (1.052, 0.418, 0.606, 0.657, 0.466); leg formula: 4312. Color in ethanol: carapace dark brown, scattered with white setae. Abdomen dark brown, with light yellowish-white bands and spots. Chelicera ( Fig. 143 View FIGURES 139–143 ) with two promarginal and one retromarginal teeth. Palp ( Figs 144–147 View FIGURES 144–149 , 150–151 View FIGURES 150–153 ): distal femur and patella covered with long and white setae; embolic disc centrally concaved, inclining retrolateral-ventrally; embolus robust, tip curved ventrally; cymbial flange marked; RTA robust, relatively broad and short, tip extended into blunt process.

Female. Habitus see Figs 137–138 View FIGURES 135–138 , 140, 142 View FIGURES 139–143 . Carapace length 1.827; abdomen length 1.732. Eye measurements: AME 0.358, ALE 0.233, PME 0.060, PLE 0.193. Leg measurements: I 2.516 (0.840, 0.363, 0.595, 0.381, 0.337), II 2.391 (0.788, 0.361, 0.521, 0.386, 0.335), III 3.023 (1.048, 0.428, 0.591, 0.572, 0.384), IV 3.405 (1.059, 0.366, 0.748, 0.790, 0.442); leg formula: 4312. Color in ethanol: similar to that of male, but lighter in coloration. Chelicera as in male. Epigyne ( Figs 148–149 View FIGURES 144–149 , 152–153 View FIGURES 150–153 ): epigynal window large, separated by hourglass-like median septum; copulatory opening located anteriorly on rim of epigynal window; copulatory duct thick, with developed accessory gland; spermatheca elongated longitudinally.
