Cristatus gen. nov. (RƦø)
Type species: Cristatus makuensis sp. nov. (ḚNJRƦ)
Etymology. The genus name comes from the Latin adjective “ Cristatus ”, meaning “tuft” and referring to the tuft of hairs on distal arm of paracymbium in male palp. Gender is masculine.
Diagnosis. Cristatus gen. nov. resembles Vittatus Zhao and Li, 2014 in having the epigyne with scapoid ( Figs 76A, B View FIGURE 76 , 80A, B View FIGURE 80 ; Zhao and Li, 2014, fig. 110A), but can be distinguished from any other Erigoninae genera by the embolus long, distal portion with a coiled spiral ( Fig. 78A–C View FIGURE 78 ); distal arm of paracymbium with a small curved tip and a tuft of spines ( Fig. 78B View FIGURE 78 ); proximal end of reterolateral margin of cymbium with a row of thick spines ( Figs 75B, D View FIGURE 75 , 78B View FIGURE 78 ); dorsal tibial apophysis with teeth ( Fig. 78A–C View FIGURE 78 ). Epiginal scapoid on the ventral plate in this new genus ( Fig. 76A, B View FIGURE 76 ), whereas between the ventral and dorsal plate in Vittatus ( Zhao and Li, 2014, fig. 110A).
