Name
Paramolotra pome Tong & Li sp. nov. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type materials
Holotype ♂: China, Tibet, Nyingchi, Pome County, road to Metok County, 80 K; 29°39.897'N, 95°29.963'E; 2140 m a.s.l.; 10.VIII.2013; Y. Lin leg. (SYNU-435). Paratypes 2♂3♀: same data as for holotype (SYNU-436-440).
Diagnosis
This new species is similar to Paramolotra metok sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the narrow anterior protrusion (ap) and broad posterior protrusion (pp) of embolar region (Fig. 2), and the long, straight arms of T-shaped sclerite of endogyne (Fig. 9B). Paramolotra metok sp. nov. males have hook like anterior protrusion (ap) and basally broad, distally finger like posterior protrusion (pp) of embolar region (Fig. 5), and females have very short anterior arm of T-shaped sclerite of endogyne (Fig. 9D).
Description
Male (holotype). Body: carapace brown, abdomen light brown; habitus as in Fig. 1A, C, E; body length 2.15. Carapace (Fig. 1B, H): 1.04 long, 0.80 wide. Clypeus (Fig. 1I): ALE separated from edge of carapace by 1.1 times their diameter. Abdomen (Fig. 1F, G): 1.06 long, 0.82 wide. Palp (Figs 2, 7A, B): femur 0.25 long, patella 0.18 long, tibia 0.12 long, cymbiobulbus 0.57 long, 0.33 wide, length/maximal width = 1.58; embolar region with a broad basal protrusion (bp), a narrow anterior protrusion (ap), a broad posterior protrusion (pp) and a distal dorsal protrusion (dp). Female (paratype, SYNU-438). As in male except as noted. Body: habitus as in Fig. 3A, B, E; body length 2.24. Carapace (Fig. 3C, F, H): 1.06 long, 0.82 wide. Abdomen (Fig. 3G): 1.24 long, 0.97 wide. Epigastric area (Figs 3G, 9A): genital atrium relatively wide, broadly oval. Endogyne (Fig. 9B): with a large T-shaped sclerite; the anterior arm of the T-shaped sclerite long and strong.
