Name
Carrhotus kevinlii Cao & Li sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type
Holotype ♂: CHINA, Yunnan, Mengla County, Menglun Town, Lüshilin (21°54.398'N, 101°16.754'E, 705 m), seasonal rainforest, 19 August 2011, K. Li leg. Paratypes: 1♂, same data as holotype; 1♂2♀, CHINA, Yunnan, Mengla County, Xiaolongha Village, Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve: Biological diversity corridor (21°24.213'N, 101°36.995'E, 834 m), seasonal rainforest, 3 June 2012, Q. Zhao & Z. Chen leg.
Etymology
The new species is named after Mr Kevin Li (=Kaiwen Li) for his assistance in field work; noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis
Cymbium twice as long as bulb (Fig. 9C) vs. approximately equal to bulb length in other congeners and embolus accompanied by a membrane (Fig. 9D). The female resembles Carrhotus viduus (see Prószyński 2009[1]b: figs 22–23), but the copulatory openings are highly sclerotised (Fig. 10A) vs. oval in Carrhotus viduus. Also, the receptacles are subglobose (Fig. 10B) vs. irregular in Carrhotus viduus.
Description
Male (holotype). Total length 6.08, CL 3.20, CW 2.64, AL 2.88, AW 1.95. Eye measurements: AME 0.55, ALE 0.24, PME 0.08, PLE 0.37, AER 2.41, PER 2.35, EFL 2.00. Clypeus 0.24 high. Legs: I 5.93 (1.85, 1.10, 1.38, 0.82, 0.78); II 5.86 (1.80, 1.12, 1.30, 0.86, 0.78); III 6.37 (2.15, 1.00, 1.36, 1.26, 0.60); IV 6.48 (0.70, 1.47, 1.41, 0.94, 1.96).
Carapace brown (Fig. 10C). Lower margin and area around eyes darker with white hairs, clypeus brown. Chelicerae dark brown, maxillae and labium brown with white tips. Sternum yellowish. Abdomen grey with irregular beige patches and beige sides, entire surface covered with a few short, whitish hairs. Venter grey. Spinnerets grey-brown. Legs dark brown. Spination of leg I: femur d3-1-1; patella p0-1-0, r0-1-0; tibia v2-2-2, p2-0-1, r1-0-0; metatarsus v2-0-2, p1-0-0. Palpal tibia and cymbium long, tibia about 4/5 length of cymbium. Retrolateral apophysis almost as wide as tibia, with pointed tip (Fig. 9B). Cymbium with long and dark brown bristles. Bulb about half the length of the cymbium. Embolus with membrane, bow-shaped, and subequal to half the length of the tegulum (Fig. 9C).
Female (one of paratypes) very similar to the male, with clypeus brown and legs light brown. Total length 7.05, CL 3.25, CW 2.66, AL 3.80, AW 2.97. Eye measurements: AME 0.75, ALE 0.39, PME 0.08, PLE 0.37, AER 2.45, PER 2.55, EFL 1.36. Clypeus 0.24 high. Legs: I 6.17 (1.90, 1.28, 1.41, 0.95, 0.63); II 5.68 (1.84, 1.22, 1.20, 0.79, 0.63); III 6.66 (2.15, 1.02, 1.36, 1.33, 0.80); IV 7.07 (2.15, 1.22, 1.41, 1.45, 0.84). Spination of leg I: femur d3-1-1; patella p0-1-0, r0-1-0; tibia v2-2-2, p1-0-0, r1-0-0; metatarsus v2-0-2. Copulatory openings slit shaped with strongly sclerotised edges. The distance between openings subequal to the length of openings (Fig. 10A). Copulatory ducts short and broad. Receptacles subglobular and diameter equal to the width of copulatory ducts. Fertilisation ducts located at the anterior part of the receptacles (Fig. 10B).
Distribution
Known from several localities in Xishuangbanna.
