description: <i>Paraborboropactus liangweii</i> sp. nov. Figs 37–39 <b>Type material:</b> <b>Holotype:</b> &amp;male;, <b>China</b> <b>:</b> <i>Hainan:</i> Wuzhishan Mountains, Shuiman Township (N18º53.024', E109º39.804', alt. 638 m), 11 April 2009, G. Tang (IZCAS, Tang _ No. 147). <b>Paratype:</b> 1 &amp;female;, same data as holotype (IZCAS, Tang _ No. 147). <b>Etymology.</b> The specific name is a patronym in honor of Prof. Wei Liang (Hainan Normal University), who supported our field work in Hainan Province. <b>Diagnosis.</b> The male is similar to <i>P. zhengi</i> Tang &amp; Li, 2009, but can be separated by the comparatively small RTA and presence of scopulae only in distal part of cymbial dorsum (cymbium dorsum with scopulae in <i>P. zhengi</i>). The male is also similar to <i>P. leguminaceus</i> Tang &amp; Li, 2009, but can be separated by the RTA shape. The female can be easily separated from <i>P. zhengi</i> and <i>P. leguminaceus</i> by the absence of anteriorly situated cavity and median septum in epigynum. <b>Description.

Eye measurements: AME 0.08; ALE 0.20; PME 0.10; PLE 0.16; AME–AME 0.18; AME–ALE 0.14; PME– PME 0.24; PME–PLE 0.28. MOA length 0.56 with front width 0.53 and back width 0.44.

Bulb with an ear-shaped median apophysis, conductor membranous, embolus digitiform, curved. <b>Female</b> (measurements of paratype): Total length 7.10. Prosoma 3.40 long, 3.70 wide; Opisthosoma 4.00 long, 3.60 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.10; ALE 0.22; PME 0.13; PLE 0.18; AME–AME 0.24; AME– ALE 0.18; PME–PME 0.34; PME–PLE 0.40. MOA length 0.68 with front width 0.44 and back width 0.62. Chelicera with 3 pro- and 3 retromarginal teeth. Femur I with thick spines and clustered hairs. Leg formula: II, I, IV, III; leg measurements: I: 14.60 (4.70, 6.00, 2.60, 1.30); II: 14.70 (4.70, 6.00, 2.70, 1.30); III: 6.70 (2.50, 2.20, 1.30, 0.70); IV: 7.90 (2.70, 2.80, 1.60, 0.80). <i>Epigynum</i> (Figs 38 B–C, 39 C–D).
