Discussion
Notes: The female specimen CASENT9022569 (Figs 529-530) has a similar epigynum in ventral view, but very different spermathecal tubes. Due to the limited number of specimens examined, we temporarily list it here as D. yani sp. nov.
Etymology
Etymology: The specific name is a patronym in honor of one of the collectors of the type specimen, Hengmei Yan at HNU; noun in genitive case.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis: The female of this new species is similar to D. quattour sp. nov. in having epigynal teeth that are widely separated from each other and from the atrial margin, and spermathecae that extend anteriorly of the spermathecal heads, but can be distinguished by the presence of a distinct anterior atrial margin and atrial ridges (Figs 512-515).
Description
Description: Female (holotype). Medium sized Coelotinae, total length 9.46 (Fig. 516). Dorsal shield of prosoma 4.26 long, 3.00 wide; opisthosoma 5.20 long, 3.50 wide. AME smallest, half the size of ALE; ALE largest; PME subequal to AME in size, PLE slightly larger than PME (AME 0.11, ALE 0.20, PME 0.12, PLE 0.14); AME separated from each other by slightly more than their diameter, from ALE by AME diameter; PME separated from each other by slightly more than their diameter, widely separated from PLE by about 2 times PME diameter (AME-AME 0.14, AME-ALE 0.12, PME-PME 0.15, PME-PLE 0.22, AME-PME 0.12) (Fig. 517). Labium longer than wide (L / W =1.20) (Fig. 518). Promargin of chelicera with 3, retromargin with 2 teeth. Epigynal teeth short, widely separated from each other by about atrial width, situated anteriorly of atrium and distinctly separated from anterior atrial margin; atrium small, wider than long, close to epigastric furrow, with anterior margin slightly extending posteriorly; copulatory ducts small, originating posteriorly between spermathecae; spermathecae broad, with bases distinctly separated, anteriorly extending and closely set; spermathecal heads small, arising from distal half of spermathecae, with spermathecae extending anterior to their heads (Figs 512-515, 519-532). Male. Unknown.
