The female of Gelotia onoi, new species (Figs. 1 – 2) resembles those of the type species, G. frenata Thorell, 1890 and G. liuae Wang & Li, 2020 in having the epigyne with a fold and rounded window, but differs from two latter species by the following characteristics: the epigynal window located in the near middle in the new species (Fig. 2 C) while anterior in both G. frenata (fig. 5 in Prószyński, 1969) and G. liuae (cf. Fig. 4 C and fig. 8 A in Wang & Li, 2020), copulatory duct significantly longer than the length of spermathecae (Fig. 2 D) (shorter in other species), spermathecae almost rounded, relatively very small (Fig. 2 D) in comparision with G. frenata and G. liuae as well as all other members of the genus Gelotia (see comparative illustrations in Metzner, 2024).	en	Hoang, Quang D., , Quoc T.

03A88780FFD9FF9CFED4D151D2FE535D.taxon	description	Description. Well-described by Wang & Li (2020). Habitus and copulatory organs from Vietnamese specimens as in Figs. 3 – 4. Variation. The specimens from Vietnam were collected from at least two different localities (a male from central Vietnam and a female from northern Vietnam). They show some differences with the original description by Wang & Li (2020): male with RTA slightly thicker and more bent than the holotype (Figs. 3 C – D and fig. 7 A – B in Wang & Li, 2020), DTA almost pointed (Fig. 3 D) rather than blunt (fig. 7 A – B in Wang & Li, 2020), and embolus more curved than in the holotype (Fig. 3 D, and fig. 7 B – D in Wang & Li, 2020); the female from Vietnam shows a different epigyne, RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2024 the fossa fused with rim of window (Fig. 4 C) vs. wider than the window in the paratype (fig. 8 A in Wang & Li, 2020), copulatory ducts about half length of spermathecae (Fig. 4 D) while near 2 / 3 in the paratype (fig. 8 B in Wang & Li, 2020), spermathecae symmetrical (Fig. 4 D) vs. obliquely at an angle of about 45 degrees in the illustrations (fig. 8 B in Wang & Li, 2020). Despite the minor differences between the specimens from China and Vietnam and their genetic distance, these are insufficient to divide them into two separate species. Thus, we consider them conspecific in the present study.	en	Hoang, Quang D., , Quoc T. Phan, Vo,, Van M.

03A88780FFDBFF93FEDAD055D29155A6.taxon	description	Description. For both sexes, see Cao et al. (2016) and Wang & Li (2020). Habitus and copulatory organs from Vietnamese specimens as illustrated in Figs. 5 – 6. Variation. There are slight differences with the illustration of the female by Wang & Li (2020), as the copulatory ducts are slightly wider and longer than those of the specimens from China (Fig. 6 D and fig. 10 C in Wang & Li, 2020). The male is perfectly matched to the illustrations by Cao et al. (2016) and Wang & Li (2020).	en	Hoang, Quang D., , Quoc T. Phan, Vo,, Van M.

03A88780FFDBFF93FEDAD055D29155A6.taxon	distribution	Distribution. China (Yunnan Prov.) and Vietnam (Dong Nai, Dak Lak Prov.). The species is probably found in Malaysia, as indicated by two Facebook posts (https: // www. facebook. com / photo /? fbid = 10158373523431441 & set = a. 10150395133571441, Nicky Bay; https: // www. facebook. com / photo /? fbid = 10219423322027121 & set = gm. 625020444714442, Paul Ng). The conformation of the RTA observed in the posts closely resembles the illustrations of Gelotia zhengi, but further examination of the specimens is needed to confirm this.	en	Hoang, Quang D., , Quoc T.
