Extraordinarius angusyoungi
spec. nov.
, female (holotype). 17−18 Habitus (17 dorsal, 18 ventral); 19−20 epigyne/vulva (19 ventral, 20 dorsal). Scale lines: 17−18: 2 mm, 19−20: 1 mm.
Diagnosis.
Females of
E. angusyoungi
spec. nov.
resemble those of
E. rickalleni
(
Rheims 2019
: figs 62−64) and
E. alicecooperi
spec. nov.
(
Figs 14−16
) by the epigyne with MS lacking anterior scape, but are distinguished by the rectangular shape of the MS (inverted T-shaped in
E. alicecooperi
spec. nov.
and ovoid in
E. rickalleni
) and by the vulva with packed structures running almost parallel to each other (strongly converging towards each other in both other species) (
Figs 21−23
).
