Etymology.
This epithet derives from the
type
locality.
Diagnosis.
The new species can be distinguished from the
Taibaishanus elegans
Tanasevitch, 2006
by the male cephalic region with tomb-shaped cephalic lobe in
T. nankangensis
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 303A
), whereas male cephalic lobe absent in
T. elegans
(
Tanasevitch, 2006
, fig. 68). Dorsal tibial apophysis tongue-shaped and the retrolateral tibial apophysis tip without depression in
T. nankangensis
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 302B–D
), whereas dorsal tibial apophysis somewhat triangular and the retrolateral tibial apophysis tip with depression in
T. elegans
(
Tanasevitch, 2006
, figs 69, 71). Embolus tip fine in
T. nankangensis
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 302A, D
), whereas broad with a small round outgrowth in
T. elegans
(
Tanasevitch, 2006
, figs 70, 73). Radix slightly curved, longer than wide in
T. nankangensis
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 302A–D
), whereas U-shaped in
T. elegans
(
Tanasevitch, 2006
, figs 70, 73).
