Etymology. The specific name refers to a famous tea from Xishuangbanna, Pu'er tea, which is planted on the mountainsides of Xishuangbanna and has a long history in China; noun in apposition. Diagnosis. The new species can be distinguished from E. shenmiguo sp. nov. (Figs 9 , 10 , 12 ) by the retrolateral tegular apophysis with bent apex (vs straight) and the very short embolus lacking spine-like tip (vs the relatively long embolus with a spine-like tip) in male palp (Figs 2 , 3 ) and the triangular median septum (vs absent), the stout copulatory ducts (vs slender) and the C-shaped spermathecae (vs oval) in female epigyne (Fig. 5 ).

Abbreviations: Bu - bursa, CD - copulatory duct, CO - copulatory opening, CT - connecting tube, FD - fertilization duct, GA - glandular appendage, MS - median septum, Spe - spermatheca. Scale bars: 0.1 mm. Comments. The detailed study of a large number of these specimens revealed that most specimens (ca 9/10) lack prolateral spine on femora I, but a few specimens (ca 1/10) with one prolateral spine which locate at the distal part of femora I. Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Yunnan Province, China.
