( Figs 70–71 ) Etymology. The specific name is dedicated to the cat, Mr. Yumao, that belongs to Qianhui Zeng; noun (name) in genitive case. Diagnosis. The new species is similar to U. rubra Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 by the expanded middle part of the retrolateral tibial apophysis. However, the new species can be distinguished from U. rubra by the straight retrolateral tibial apophysis ( vs. curved in U. rubra ). Description. Male ( holotype ).
