This epithet derives from the type locality. Diagnosis. The new species resembles Himalaphantes aduncus sp. nov. in having the similar stretcher and posterior median plate in epigyne ( Fig. 138A–C ; Fig. 130A–C ), but can be distinguished by the spermathecae L-shaped in H. fugongensis sp. nov. ( Fig. 138A–C ), whereas bean-shaped in Himalaphantes aduncus sp. nov. ( Fig. 130A–C ). Scape with the lateral lobe present in H. fugongensis sp. nov. ( Fig. 138A–C ), whereas absent in Himalaphantes aduncus sp. nov. ( Fig. 130A–C ).
