Figs 3, 4, 5, 12
Material examined.
Holotype China • ♂ (SYNU -1143); Xizang, Shannan City, Cona Co., Lemenba Ethnic Township, 17–20 km section from Lewang Bridge to Liulian Hwy; 27 ° 47.700 ' N, 91 ° 46.417 ' E, 3706 m; 5. VI. 2016; J. Wu leg.
Paratypes: China • ♀ (SYNU -1144); same data as for holotype • 6 ♀ (SYNU -1123 –1128); same data as for holotype.
Diagnosis.
The new species is similar to C. tuberans Tong & Li, 2007 and can be distinguished by the single strong bristle behind cheliceral paturons (Fig. 3 D – H), vs. bristle absent (Tong and Li 2007: fig. 23); the strongly sclerotized median process (mpr) and a broad ventral outgrowth (vo) of the psembolus (Fig. 4 D, H, K) vs. lacking the median process and having instead a very narrow, bifurcated ventral outgrowth (Tong and Li 2007: figs 25–27); and narrow forcipate median plate (mp) of endogyne (Fig. 5 F, H) vs. circular median plate (Tong and Li 2007: fig. 22).
Description.
Male (holotype). Body: uniformly colored, yellow; habitus as in Fig. 3 A, C, E; length 1.83. Carapace (Fig. 3 B, F): 0.81 long, 0.72 wide; pars thoracica slightly elevated in lateral view, entire surface finely reticulated. Eyes (Fig. 3 B, H): ALE: 0.08; PME: 0.06; PLE: 0.06; ALE circular, PME oval, PLE oval; posterior eye row straight from above, procurved from front; ALE separated by less than one radius. Clypeus (Fig. 3 F, H): margin unmodified, straight in front view, sloping forward in lateral view. Mouthparts (Fig. 3 G, H): with single strong bristle behind paturons; anterior-median part of the endites strongly sclerotized. Sternum (Fig. 3 D): as long as wide, with pointed anterolateral bumps. Abdomen (Fig. 3 A, C, E): 1.02 long, 0.73 wide; oval, scuta pale orange; dorsal scutum covering about 2 / 3 of abdomen, 1 / 2 of abdomen width, fused to epigastric scutum; postgastric scutum small. Palp (Fig. 4 A – L): reddish brown; patella extremely long club-shaped, length / width = 3.30, about 5.8 times longer than femur, and 3.2 times longer than bulb, cymbium narrow (length / width = 1.90) in dorsal view; psembolus with prolateral and ventral outgrowths (pro and vo respectively), strongly sclerotized median process (mpr) and small retrolateral fold (rlf).
Female (SYNU -1144). As in male except for the following. Body: habitus as in Fig. 5 A, C, E; length 1.98. Carapace: 0.86 long, 0.73 wide. Eyes: ALE 0.07; PME 0.05; PLE 0.07. Abdomen: 1.12 long, 0.80 wide. Postgaster (Fig. 5 F, H): with stick-like anterior sclerite (as) and forcipate median plate (mp). Endogyne (Fig. 5 I): copulatory duct (cd) long, narrow, straight with tip well beyond postgastric scutum; apodemes (ap) short.
