Grandilithus linglingae Lin & Li , sp. nov. ( Figs 23–24 View Figure 23 View Figure 24 , 46G–H View Figure 46 )
Etymology. The species is named after Ms. Lingling Liu; noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis. The male of the new species can be distinguished from all congeners by the embolus arising at the center of the tegulum and the abdomen is covered by a dorsal scutum. The female can be distinguished by having the bursa almost as long as the spermathecae and C-shaped copulatory ducts.
Description. Male (holotype). Total length 2.88; carapace 1.42 long, 1.13 wide, opisthosoma 1.46 long, 1.00 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.12, ALE 0.10, PME 0.08, PLE 0.09, AME–AME 0.06, AME–ALE 0.03, PME–PME 0.11,
PME–PLE 0.06, AME–PME 0.10, ALE–PLE 0.12. Chelicerae with two promarginal and three retromarginal teeth. Leg measurements: I 6.09 (1.54, 2.13, 1.34, 1.08), II 4.89 (1.27, 1.66, 1.07, 0.89), III 4.02 (1.12, 1.21, 1.05, 0.64), IV 5.83 (1.58, 1.76, 1.62, 0.87). Leg spination: I femur 4pv, 1d, tibia 7pv, 8rv, metatarsus 4pv, 3rv; II femur 1pv, 1d, tibia 7-7v, metatarsus 4-4v, III femur 1d, IV femur 1d.
Coloration ( Fig. 46G View Figure 46 ). Carapace red, smooth. Chelicerae red. Endites and labium dark brown. Sternum red. Legs red-brown with black setae. Opisthosoma oval, middle red, edge with black pattern, covered by scutum, ventrum brown with ventral scutum covering half of opisthosoma. Dorsal scutum strongly sclerotized. Spinnerets short, yellow-brown.
Palp ( Fig. 23 View Figure 23 ). Femoral apophysis well-developed, almost as long as the width of patella. Patella almost as long as wide. Retrolateral tibial apophysis strong, horn shaped, shorter than tibia. Cymbium two times longer than wide. Bulb oval. Sperm duct U-shaped. Tegular apophysis triangular. Embolus long and curved, sickle shaped.
Female (IZCAS-Ar43894). Total length 4.97; carapace 1.97 long, 1.67 wide, opisthosoma 3.00 long, 1.93 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.13, ALE 0.10, PME 0.10, PLE 0.10, AME–AME 0.08, AME–ALE 0.04, PME–PME 0.11, PME–PLE 0.07, AME–PME 0.12, ALE–PLE 0.10. Chelicerae with two promarginal and three retromarginal teeth. Leg measurements: I 9.33 (2.33, 3.35, 1.97, 1.68), II 7.71 (1.95, 2.66, 1.64, 1.46), III 6.12 (1.71, 1.84, 1.59, 0.98), IV 9.08 (2.49, 2.77, 2.50, 1.32). Leg spination: I femur 5pv, 1d, tibia 9pv, 10rv, metatarsus 4-4v; II femur 3pv, 1d, tibia 9pv, 8rv, metatarsus 4pv, 3rv, III femur 1d, IV femur 1d.
Coloration ( Fig. 46H View Figure 46 ). Similar to that of male except paler and lacking scutum on opisthosoma.
Epigyne ( Fig. 24 View Figure 24 ). Epigynal plate rectangular. Copulatory openings on anterior of epigynal plate. Copulatory ducts long and thick, slightly curved. Bursae almost round, separated. Glandular appendages directed dorsally. Spermathecae nearly oval, separated. Fertilization ducts long, as long as spermathecal length, directed toward clock 1:30 position from spermathecae.
Material examined. Holotype ♂ (IZCAS-Ar43887), Vietnam: Vinh Phuc, Tam Dao National Park, Natural Forest , Sieving , (21.4905°N, 105.6168°E, elev. 1077 m), 18 September 2007, Dinh-Sac Pham leg. Paratypes. 3♂ 4♀ (IZCASAr43888–Ar43894), same data as holotype GoogleMaps .
