Description
Female: Body spindle shaped, 178 long, shield 55 long, 66 wide, shield lobe present, shield design without median line, admedian lines from basal 2 / 5 to apical 1 / 5, forming 2 cells, with transverse line on basal 4 / 5 along anterior margin, submedian line from base to half, connected to admedian lines at half; scapular tubercles set ahead of rear shield margin, setae (sc) 6 long, directed outward and upward, Dt-Sr 20, Dt-Dt 21 apart; leg segments normal, fore tibial setae (1´) set at basal 1 / 3, 8 long; coxal area smooth; 1 st coxal setae (1 b) 6 long, Ct 1 -Ct 1 13 apart, 2 nd coxal setae (1 a) 11 long, Ct 2 -Ct 2 11 apart, 3 rd coxal setae (2 a) 18 long, Ct 3 -Ct 3 24 apart, Ct 1 \Ct 2 13, Ct 1 -Ct 2 5, Ct 2 \Ct 3 18, Ct 2 -Ct 3 9; claw ending as knob; empodium divided, 3 rayed. Opisthosoma: dorsum with median ridge shorter than submedian ridges, dorsally with about 31 rings, with dashed line microtuberculate at ridges, ventrally with about 59 microtuberculate rings; 1 st 3 dorsal annuli 15 long; lateral setae (c 2) 10 long, Lt-Lt 55 apart, Lt\Vt 1 49, Lt-Vt 1 32; 1 st ventral setae (d) 23 long, Vt 1 -Vt 1 32 apart, Vt 1 \Vt 2 43, Vt 1 -Vt 2 38; 2 nd ventral setae (e) 8 long, Vt 2 -Vt 2 13 apart, Vt 2 \Vt 3 45, Vt 2 -Vt 3 42; 3 rd ventral setae (f) 19 long, Vt 3 -Vt 3 22 apart; accessory setae (h 1) absent. Epigynium: 23 wide, 12 long, with about 13 longitudinal ridges, genital setae (3 a) 7 long, Gt-Gt 12 apart. Male: not seen.
Materials Examined
Type data: Holotype Ψ, Taipei: Yangmingshan (650m; N 25 ° 11´E 121 ° 33´), 24 -Aug.- 1999, Huang & Wang; ex Symplocos chinensis (Lour.) Druce (Symplocaceae). (deposited at NMNS). Paratypes, 3 Ψ, data same as for holotype. Relation to host: A vagrant on the lower leaf surface. No apparent damage was observed.
Discussion
Remarks: This new species is close to A. shinkoensa Huang et Wang, 2003 by the shield design with 2 cells and the opisthosomal dorsal ridges with spiny microtubercles. This new species differs from A. shinkoensa by the following characters: the shield design of admedian lines without forked lines directed to base, submedian lines connected to admedian lines at half, and the 3 -rayed empodium.
Etymology
Etymology: This new name means “two cells” in reference to the admedian lines forming 2 cells.
