Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The new species is similar to Trilacuna wenfeng Tong & Li, 2021, but can be distinguished by the slightly elevated epigastric region and a group of strong setae behind the level between posterior spiracles (Fig. 3 C, H) vs strongly elevated, with a cluster of densely short setae in front of the level between posterior spiracles (Wang et al. 2021: fig. 6 E, G, H), by the ridges on central area of sternum (Fig. 3 E) vs lacking (Wang et al. 2021: fig. 6 D), and by the small globular structure of endogyne (Fig. 6 B) vs spiral-shaped (Wang et al. 2021: fig. 5 D).
Description.
Male (Holotype). Body: yellow, legs lighter; habitus as in Fig. 3 A – C; body length 1.63. Carapace: 0.78 long, 0.63 wide; sides granulate, lateral margin rebordered (Fig. 3 D). Eyes: nearly equal sized; posterior eye row recurved from above, procurved from front; ALE separated from edge of carapace by 1.3 diameters (Fig. 3 D, G). Mouthparts: chelicerae straight; labium rectangular, anterior margin deeply incised; endites slender, distally branched (Figs 3 E, 6 D). Sternum: surface finely smooth, with several ridges on central area (Fig. 3 E). Abdomen: 0.91 long, 0.57 wide; booklung covers ovoid, surface smooth; sperm pore situated at level of anterior spiracles; apodemes present, posterior spiracles not connected by groove; epigastric region slightly elevated, with a group of strong setae (Fig. 3 C, H). Leg spination: legs I-II: tibia: v 2-2 - 2 - 2 - 0, metatarsus: v 2-2 - 0. Palp: orange; 0.55 long (0.18, 0.11, 0.10, 0.16); femur elongated (width / length = 0.57); bulb kidney-shaped, basally strongly bulged; embolus system with ear-shaped projection (bep) at base, with a lateral curved branch (lcb) and narrow medial branch (mb) (Fig. 4 A – L).
Female (paratype, SYNU-1184). As in male except as noted. Body: habitus as in Fig. 5 A – C; body length 1.98. Carapace: 0.82 long, 0.66 wide. Mouthparts: endites unmodified. Sternum: without ridges on central area (Fig. 5 E). Abdomen: 1.24 long, 0.71 wide. Epigastric area: with recurved, strongly sclerotized arches (sar) (Figs 5 H, 6 A). Endogyne: with narrow, transversally elongated sclerite (tsc); with an anterior T-shaped sclerite (as) and a posterior small globular structure (glo) (Fig. 6 B).
Distribution.
Known only from the type locality (Fig. 11).
