Diagnosis.

This species can be distinguished from G. changya Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009 ( Miller et al. 2009: 48, figs 38A-E, 39A, B, 40A-F, 41A, B, 43A, B) and G. zhusun Miller, Griswold & Yin, 2009 ( Miller et al. 2009: 50, figs 43D, E, 44A-E, 45A, B, 46A-D, 47D) by the male having three frontal spines near the base of each chelicera (Fig. 1G vs. fig. 38A, 40E, 44A, 46E, Miller et al. 2009: 119, 421, 125, 127), the palp having a “S” -shaped cymbium and median keel on cymbium, lacking basal keel and tooth on cymbium (Fig. 2B, D vs. fig. 39A-B, 40A-C, 45A-B, 46A-C, Miller et al. 2009: 120, 121, 126, 127), and the strong, anticlockwise spiral embolus with a tortuous end (Fig. 2A, C vs. fig. 39A-B, 45A-B, Miller et al. 2009: 120, 126). Females can be distinguished by the large, long central knob-shaped scape (Fig. 1H vs. fig. 43B, E, Miller et al. 2009: 124), having a saccular epigynal hood, the nearly transversely clubbed spermathecae, and the membranous, broad and complicated copulatory ducts (Fig. 1J vs. fig. 43B, E, Miller et al. 2009: 124).

Description.

See Lin and Li (2014: 178), and Figs 1 , 2 .

Distribution.

China (Yunnan), Vietnam.

Remark.
