Diagnosis.

The species differs from all known Chinese Raveniola species by small lateral receptacles in females (cf. Zhu et al. 1999, fig. 7) and by the subapically curved embolus in males (cf. Zhu et al. 1999, figs 8-10).

♂♀ were well described by Zhu et al. (1999).Male carapace, sternum with labium and maxillae, tibia and metatarsus I, palpal tibia and cymbium, bulbus and female spermathecae as shown in Figs 8, 16, 25, 31, 39 and 47, respectively.

Variability.

The only examined male has carapace 7.02 mm long (7.29 in the holotype). The carapace of the noticeably smaller examined adult female measures only 5.17 mm (vs. 6.67 in the female paratype used at the description).
