Diagnosis. Females of this species can be easily distinguished from the congeners by the absence of epigynal hood and presence of a long, obvious glandular appendage of spermatheca (Fig. 7A, B ). Diagnosis of males see Zhang et al. (2009) . Figure 7. Hongkongia wuae , female A epigyne, ventral view B vulva, dorsal view.
