description: <i>Notiocoelotes pseudovietnamensis</i> sp. nov. Figs 80–84, 87 <b>Type material.</b> Holotype male, 10 male and 6 female paratypes, VIETNAM: Ninh Binh Province, Cuc Phuong National Park (20º21.44’N, 105º34.21’E), March 2007 to March 2008, Dinh-Sac PHAM leg. <b>Etymology.</b> The specific name refers to its similarity to <i>Notiocoelotes vietnamensis</i> Wang, Xu &amp; Li, 2008. <b>Diagnosis.</b> The new species is similar to <i>N. vietnamensis</i> Wang, Xu &amp; Li, 2008 in having the large lateral tibial apophysis, the long cymbial furrow, the long, coiled and semi-circular conductor in male (Figs 80B, 81A, 82B, 83B), in having similar atrium and rounded spermathecae in female (Figs 81B–C, 84B–D). But can be distinguished from the latter by the absence of an indentation on the distal conductor, the absence of median apophysis, the triangle-shaped embolic base in male (Figs 80B, 81A, 82B, 83B), by the small triangleshaped atrium, and the different shape of copulatory ducts in female (Figs 81B–C, 84B–D). <b>Description.</b> Male. Total length 3.50–4.00. Holotype total length 3.75, prosoma 1.85 long, 1.35 wide; opisthosoma 1.90 long, 1.30 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.04; ALE 0.11; PME 0.11; PLE 0.11; AME– AME 0; AME–ALE 0; ALE–PLE 0; PME–PME 0.03; PME–PLE 0.01. Eyes pale, AME slightly reduced, the tubercles of eyes not reduced. Clypeus height 0.10. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I: 7.20 (1.90, 2.40, 1.75, 1.15); II: 6.05 (1.70, 1.90, 1.45, 1.00); III: 5.70 (1.55, 1.70, 1.50, 0.95); IV: 7.80 (2.00, 2.45, 2.25, 1.10). Chelicerae with three promarginal and two retromarginal teeth (Fig. 80C). Patellar apophysis absent (Figs 80B, 83B); RTA occupying most of tibial length (Figs 80B, 83B); lateral tibial apophysis large, strongly bifurcated (Figs 80B, 83B); cymbial furrow long, slightly more than half of cymbial length (Figs 80B, 83B); conductor long, extending proximally, coiling, semi-circular, conductor dorsal apophysis absent (Figs 80B, 81A, 82B, 83B); conductor lamella large (Figs 81A, 82B); median apophysis absent (Figs 80B, 81A, 82B, 83B); embolic base large, almost triangular (Figs 81A, 82B); embolus filiform, originating proximally (Figs 81A, 82B). Female. Total length 3.75–4.50. One of paratype total length 4.00, prosoma 1.75 long, 1.35 wide; opisthosoma 2.25 long, 1.50 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.04; ALE 0.10; PME 0.10; PLE 0.10; AME–AME 0; AME–ALE 0; ALE–PLE 0; PME–PME 0.04; PME–PLE 0.01. Eyes white, AME slightly reduced, the tubercles of eyes slightly reduced. Clypeus height 0.10. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I: 5.30 (1.50, 1.75, 1.20, 0.85); II: 4.50 (1.25, 1.50, 1.05, 0.70); III: 4.40 (1.30, 1.35, 1.10, 0.65); IV: 5.95 (1.55, 2.00, 1.60, 0.80). Chelicerae with three promarginal and two retromarginal teeth. Epigynal teeth absent (Figs 81B, 84B); atrium small, triangular, with a tongue-shaped posterior extension (Figs 81B, 84B); copulatory ducts broad, bilobate, covering the whole spemathecal stalks and heads (Figs 81C, 84C–D); spermathecae small, rounded, widely separated, with distal parts covered by copulatory ducts (Figs 81C, 84C–D); spermathecal heads small, extended anteriorly, with distinct stalks (Figs 81C, 84C–D). <b>Habitat preferences.</b> These specimens were collected by pitfall traps, this species may live on the forest floor or in leaf litter. <b>Distribution.</b> Vietnam (Ninh Binh) (Fig. 87).
