Diagnosis.
The female of this species can be easily distinguished from S. fujianensis sp. nov. by the oval epigynal teeth (vs triangular) and the short copulatory ducts (vs relatively long) (cf. Figs 7 C, D, 8 C, 6 A, B, 8 B).
Description.
Habitus as in Fig. 7 A, B. Total length 3.52. Carapace 1.34 long, 1.21 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances (Fig. 7 A): AME 0.04, ALE 0.08, PME 0.03, PLE 0.06, AME – AME 0.18, AME – ALE 0.12, PME – PME 0.28, PME – PLE 0.2, AME – PME 0.12, AME – PLE 0.32, ALE – ALE 0.44, PLE – PLE 0.67, ALE – PLE 0.15. MOA 0.21 long, front width 0.25, back width 0.34. Chelicerae with three promarginal teeth and no retromarginal teeth. Leg (Fig. 7 A, B) measurements: I and II missing; III 1.26 (0.42, 0.16, 0.28, 0.25, 0.15); IV 5.3 (1.82, 0.63, 1.18, 1.06, 0.61); spination: III Ti: r 2; Mt: d 1, r 1, v 8; IV Ti: v 2; Mt: r 2, v 6. Abdomen (Fig. 7 A, B) 2.18 long, 0.79 wide.
Coloration (Fig. 7 A, B). Carapace yellow, with three pairs of stripes, each one including many black spots, laterally with dark brown stripes. Chelicerae yellowish, with sparse black spots. Endites and labium yellow, with sparse black spots. Sternum yellowish to yellow, laterally with many black dots. Legs with many small black dots. Abdomen yellowish to brown, dorsally with small dense black dots; venter with a broad brown stripe medially.
Epigyne (Figs 7 C, D, 8 C) nearly as long as wide. Epigynal teeth lamellar, ear-shaped, located antero-laterally. Atrium moderately large, anteromedially located. Median septum narrow, anteriorly subtriangular. Copulatory openings directed laterally, located on the sides of the antero-lateral part of median septum, not covered by epigynal teeth. Glandular appendages small, mastoid like, located at the origin of the copulatory ducts, directed anterolaterally. Copulatory ducts very short, strongly bent dorsally. Spermathecae widely separated, globular, with a short stalk. Glandular mounds slightly protruding, cap-like, located on antero-lateral part of spermathecae, directed laterally. Fertilization ducts nearly as long as 1 / 2 of spermathecal width, directed antero-laterally.
Male. Unknown.
Distribution.
Known from the type locality in Jiangxi, and from Hunan Province, China (Fig. 10).
Etymology.
The specific name comes from the Latin word perbrevis, referring to the very short copulatory ducts; adjective.
