Etymology
Etymology. The species name is derived from the Thai and Lao word " maipai ", meaning " bamboo ", referring to the habitat where the type series was collected by the bamboo researcher Damir Kovac; term in apposition.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis. Small sized Clubioninae with body length of males 4.9 - 6.1 mm (Figs 52 - 53) and of females 5.57.6 mm (Figs 54 - 55), belonging to the hystrix species-group. Closely related to Clubiona damirkovaci Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 and C. kuu spec. nov. Males can be distinguished from both species by 1) the narrow and short base of RTA in retrolateral view (Fig. 38; narrow and long in C. damirkovaci, wide and short in C. kuu spec. nov.), 2) the small but distinct distal tegular hump (Fig. 37; indistinct in C. damirkovaci, developed more prominent in C. kuu spec. nov.), 3) number and arrangement of cheliceral teeth, namely 6 (5 - 7) anterior and 4 (3 - 5) posterior teeth in a straight row (Fig. 41; 5 anterior and 4 posterior teeth in a straight row in C. damirkovaci, 5 anterior and 3 posterior teeth with the two anterior and the distal posterior separated in C. kuu spec. nov.). Females can be distinguished from those of C. damirkovaci by the distinctly longer intromittent ducts (Figs 42 - 45), and from C. papuana Chrysanthus, 1967 by the presence of glandular appendages at ventral anterior spermathecae (Fig. 42; absent in C. papuana, Chrysanthus, 1967: figs 28 - 29) and by the fertilisation duct arising from anterior spermathe-cae (Fig. 43; arising from posterior spermathecae in C. papuana).
