Figs 1 A–B, 3A, 4–7

Type material. Holotype: ♂, CHINA: Chongqing Municipality, Jinyun Mountain (29°50.227′N, 106°23.731′E), 775 m a.s.l., 18 September 2016, leg. Luyu Wang. Paratypes: 3♀ 1♂, same data as holotype; 1♀, Chongqing Municipality, Jinyun Mountain, Dawuji (29°49.043′N, 106°21.709′E), 625 m a.s.l., 16 October 2011, leg. Luyu Wang ; 1♀, Jinyun Mountain, 13 October 2017, leg. Xuyun Gong.

Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality; adjective.

Diagnosis. The male resembles S. aviforma sp. nov. in having an oval outer edge of the RTA, and the embolus with a short branch, but can be distinguished from it by: 1) lateral branch of embolus digitiform with blunt tip and main branch with file-like grooves on surface (Figs 6B, C, E), whereas lateral branch flaky and truncated at tip in S. aviforma sp. nov. (Figs 16G, H); 2) palpal tibia ventral protrusion as a hump (Fig. 6C), whereas it is an apophysis with a pointed tip in S. aviforma sp. nov. (Fig. 16H). The female resembles S. forcipata sp. nov. in having separated COs, but can be distinguished from it by: 1) COs oval, orthogonal to each other (Fig. 6G), whereas they are kidneyshaped and parallel to each other in S. forcipata sp. nov. (Fig. 9G); 2) CDs are much thinner than those of the latter (Figs 6H, 9H).

Epigyne (Figs 6G, 7E): copulatory openings oval, separated, with inverted V-shaped arrangement. Vulva (Figs 6H, 7F): copulatory ducts moderately inflated anteriorly, with less membranous parts, then forming right-angled bend medially and extending backwards; accessory glands small, digitiform; spermathecae separated by less one spermatheca’s diameter.

Distribution. China (Chongqing) (Fig. 26).
