Etymology

Etymology: The species name is derived from the Latin word " latus ", which means " broad ", and refers to the broad conductor compared to other Draconarius incertus group species; term in apposition.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis: D. latusincertus is similar to D. pseudobrunneus Wang 2003 and D. incertus Wang 2003 in having a similar epigynum and similar palp, but can be distinguished by the distinctly larger body size, the broad conductor in the male; and the large atrium with atrial ridges extending posteriorly close to the epigastric furrow and the distinct anterior extension of the spermathecae in the female (Figs 249 - 252).

Discussion

Notes: The female from Dali, Diancang Shan (SMF) has a similar epigynum as D. latusincertus sp. nov., but its atrium is wider than long and the spermathecae are much shorter (Figs 263 - 264). This specimen is temporarily listed here as D. latusincertus sp. nov. Further collection of both males and females from this location is badly needed.
