description: <i>Teutamus calceolatus</i> sp. nov. (Figure 10 A–E) <i>Diagnosis</i> <i>Teutamus calceolatus</i> sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from its congeners by the rostrated tegulum of the male palp greatly extending retrolaterally (Figure 10 A,C) and the sharply pointed submarginal lobes on the carapace; females can be easily recognized by the calceolus spermathecae with simple, curved ducts (Figure 10 E). <i>Type material</i> <i>Holotype.</i> &amp;male;, Malaysia: Terengganu State: Lake Kenyir, 5 km southwest of dam, 50 km southwest of Kuala Terengganu, 300–400 m, 10 July 2001, leg. A. Schulz and K. Vock (MHNG, M01-167). <i>Paratypes.</i> Data as holotype, 1&amp;female; (MHNG, M01-167); from type locality, 10 October 2001, leg. A. Schulz and K. Vock, 1&amp;female; (MHNG, M01-168); 7 July 2001, leg. A. Schulz and K. Vock, 1&amp;male; (MHNG, M01-159); 7 July 2001, leg. A. Schulz and K. Vock, 1&amp;male; (MHNG, M01-160). Kelantan State: Jeram Pasu Waterfall, 8 km west of Kampung Pasang Pak Amat, 30 km south of Kota Baharu, 100 m, evergreen rain forest, 100 m, 10 January 1999, leg. P. Schwendinger, 1&amp;female; (MHNG). <i>Etymology</i> The specific epithet is a nominative form of an adjective (Latin: <i>calceolatus</i>, - <i>a</i>, - <i>um</i> = slipper-shaped), and refers to the shape of the spermathecae. <i>Description</i> <i>Male</i> (holotype). Total length 4.78; prosoma 2.28 long, 1.48 wide; opisthosoma 2.50 long, 1.20 wide.

Spination: Leg I: Femora p1-1-1; tibiae p9 r9; metatarsi p5 r5. Leg II: Tibiae p8 r8; metatarsi p5 r4. Carapace orange-brown; submarginal lobes triangular, their apices sharply pointed. Sternum orange-brown. Legs hirsute, uniformly brown. Opisthosoma elongate-ovoid. Dorsal scutum covering two-thirds of length of opisthosoma. Palp (Figure 10 A–C): RTA triangular, rather short, strongly excavated anteriorly. DTA short and minute, broad at base, its apex blunt, directed ventrad. Tegulum rostrated, strongly protruding meso-retrolaterally, slightly excavated pro-apically. Conductor triangular, its apex sharply pointed. Embolic base well-developed. <i>Female</i> (paratype, MHNG, M 01-167). Total length 5.56; prosoma 2.48 long, 1.50 wide; opisthosoma 3.08 long, 1.52 wide. Leg formula: 1423; I 11.26 (2.48, 0.90, 3.84, 2.50, 1.54); II 8.48 (1.92, 0.92, 2.88, 1.68, 1.08); III 7.32 (1.62, 0.92, 2.08, 1.66, 1.04); IV 10.78 (2.56, 0.92, 3.06, 2.66, 1.58). Spination: Leg I: Femora p1-1-1; tibiae p9 r9; metatarsi p5 r5. Leg II: Tibiae p9 r8; metatarsi p5 r4. General appearance as in male; submarginal lobes triangular, their apices bluntly pointed; dorsum dark greenish; venter pale. Genitalia (Figure 10 D,E): Epigyne with widely separated circular copulatory orifices situated anteriorly. Insemination ducts slender, elongated, connected to middle portion of spermathecae.
