Etymology. The specific name refers to the
type
locality; adjective.
Diagnosis. This new species is similar to
C. kailiensis
Li
,
sp. nov.
(
Figs 73–77
), but can be distinguished by the large and inverted “U”-shaped atrium (“M”-shaped in
C. kailiensis
Li
,
sp. nov.
), the ovate spermathecae (spheriform in
C. kailiensis
Li
,
sp. nov.
), and the extended part of copulatory duct obviously swollen (spherical in
C. kailiensis
Li
,
sp. nov.
).
