description: <i>Speocera trusmadi</i> Li &amp; Li sp. nov. (Figs 45–46, 57D) Material examined. Holotype &amp;male; (IZCAS), Malaysia, Borneo, State of Sabah, Mount Trus Madi, Jungle Girl Camp (5º26.634′N, 116º27.079′E), elev. 1234 m, 1.V.2016, leg. Z. Chen. Paratype 1&amp;female; (IZCAS), same data as holotype. Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality; noun. Diagnosis. The new species is similar to <i>S. capra</i> Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995, but males can be distinguished by the presence of a cluster of long setae on the lateral surface of the chelicerae (Fig. 57D) and the more flattened palpal bulb (Figs 45A–B), and the females by the oval spermathecae (Fig. 46A). <i>S. capra</i> males have the chelicerae with a lateral horn, the palpal bulb nearly round, and the females have small oval spermathecae (Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995: figs 273–279). Description. Male. Total length 1.05; carapace length 0.50; carapace width 0.44; abdomen length 0.53; abdomen width 0.36. Prosoma: carapace pyriform, narrowing gradually anteriorly; shiny, light yellow, suffused with purplish pattern (Fig. 46C); pars cephalica flat; fovea not visible. Sternum light yellow, suffused with purplish color, as long as wide. Endites light yellow suffused with purplish tinge; with serrula; labium light yellow suffused with purplish tinge. Clypeus nearly vertical; short. Chelicerae light yellow, laterally excavated, with a cluster of long setae; promargin with a series of six teeth reaching the lamina; retromargin with two small denticles (Fig. 57D). Eyes: six contiguous eyes surrounded by black pigmentation; PME, ALE and PLE nearly subequal (Fig. 46C). Opisthosoma oval; purplish. Legs light yellow; leg lengths I 2.18 (0.61, 0.16, 0.63, 0.48, 0.31); II 1.99 (0.56, 0.16, 0.54, 0.43, 0.30); III, IV missing. Genitalia (Fig. 45). Palpal femur long; palpal tibia about 1.2 times as long as cymbium, palpal tibia and cymbium incrassate. Cymbium conical, with large prolateral extension basally. Bulb spherical, wider than high, with a small tuberculate apophysis. Embolus a wide triangle, dark and basally without distinct associated sclerites; sperm duct initially wide, abruptly narrowing distally (Fig. 45D). Female. Total length 1.18; carapace length 0.50; carapace width 0.43; abdomen length 0.61; abdomen width 0.48. Similar to male in color and general features (Figs 46D–E) but larger. Chelicerae unmodified. Leg lengths I 2.10 (0.59, 0.16, 0.60, 0.45, 0.30); II, III missing; IV 1.73 (0.47, 0.15, 0.43, 0.40, 0.28). Genitalia. Internal genitalia with afferent spermathecae very short, not extending past the sides of the abdomen (Fig. 46B); spermathecae oval (Fig. 46A). Distribution. Known only from the type locality.
