Type material.
Holotype: ♂ (IZCAS), Thailand, Trang Province, Noyong District, Chang Hai Cave,
7.5893N
,
99.6688E
, elevation ca. 32 m, XI.2015, Z. Chen, G. Zhou, and Q. Zhao leg. Paratypes: 2♂ and 4♀ (IZCAS), same data as holotype.
Other material examined.
1♀ (molecular voucher, IZCAS), same data as holotype.
Etymology.
The species name refers to the type locality; noun in apposition.
Diagnosis.
This species resembles
S. suea
sp. nov. but can be distinguished by the following: the absence of eyes (Figs
20A
,
21B
) (vs. presence), the presence of a bulbal apophysis (Fig.
20B-D
) (vs. absence), the presence of a dorsal spine on the palpal femur distally (arrows on Fig.
20C, D
) (vs. spine absent), and the absence of a spine on the palpal tibia retrolaterally (Fig.
20D
) (vs. spine present). Receptacle is tube-shaped (Fig.
21A
) (vs. globular).
