Etymology.
The specific epithet is a noun in apposition, and refers to the Yi (
Ḇ
) people, a main ethnic group living in the
type
locality.
Diagnosis.
The new species resembles
Phintella cholkei
Prajapati, Kumbhar, Caleb, Sanap & Kamboj, 2021
and
P. longapophysis
Lei & Peng,
2013
in the long RTA and short embolus. It can be distinguished from
P. cholkei
by RL not elongated (
Figs 118, 120
; vs. RL elongated in
P. cholkei
, see
Prajapati
et al
. 2021: 234
, figs 16–17); the distinctly bent tip of RTA (
Figs 118, 120
; vs. weakly bent in
P. cholkei
, see
Prajapati
et al
. 2021: 234
, figs 16–17). It differs from
P. longapophysis
by the embolus (left palp) pointing to 10 o'clock in ventral view (
Figs 118, 120
; vs. pointing to 1 o'clock in
P. longapophysis
, see
Lei & Peng 2013: 101
, figs 2a–b); the RTA being nearly perpendicular to the cymbium (
Figs 116, 118, 120
; vs. RTA and cymbium at acute angle in
P. longapophysis
, see
Lei & Peng 2013: 101
, figs 2a–b).
Description. Male.
Habitus as in
Figs 111–112
. Measurements of
holotype
: carapace 1.55 long, 1.38 wide; opisthosoma 1.75 long, 1.11 wide; eyes: AME 0.37, ALE 0.19, PME 0.09, PLE 0.16; legs: Ⅰ 2.95 (0.89, 0.45, 0.73, 0.46, 0.42), II 2.46 (0.72, 0.37, 0.53, 0.44, 0.40), III 2.94 (0.87, 0.38, 0.59, 0.58, 0.52), IV 3.35 (1.06, 0.38, 0.71, 0.71, 0.49); leg formula 4132. Carapace brown, with white lateral margins (
Fig. 111
). Chelicerae brown, with two promarginal teeth and one retromarginal tooth, front with white scales and a bump (
Figs 114–115
). Opisthosoma yellow, covered with white scales except black median band dorsally and a black venter (
Fig. 111
). Legs yellow, expect black femur Ⅰ and tibia Ⅰ (
Fig. 113
).
Palp (116–120): embolus minute; RTA long, perpendicular to cymbium, and strongly bent at tip; PL short and pointing to prolateral side in ventral view.
