Type material.
Holotype
: ♀ (IZCAS-Ar44683), China, Yunnan: Baoshan City, Shidian County, Bailang Town, Xianren Cave,
24.6536°N
,
99.2645°E
, ca 1987 m, 29.VII.2010, C. Wang, Q. Zhao and Y. Lin leg.
Paratype
: 1♀ (IZCAS-Ar44684), same data as holotype.
Diagnosis.
Troglohnia shidian
sp. nov. can be distinguished from those of
T. dafang
sp. nov. by the ratio of diameter of secondary spermathecae to length of branched shorter copulatory ducts almost 1:1 (Fig.
14B
) [vs 1:2 (Fig.
11B
)], primary spermathecae oval, separated by more than 2
x
diameters (Fig.
14B
) [vs elongate bean-shaped, separated by less than one diameter (Fig.
11B
)], diameter of primary spermathecae ~ 1.2

diameters of secondary spermathecae (Fig.

Coloration
(Fig.

). Carapace yellow, with indistinct dark yellow radial grooves, middle region with shield-shaped brown band, margin with brown pattern. Fovea longitudinal, reddish-brown. Chelicerae, labium, gnathocoxae, and sternum yellow. Sternum with brown marking. Legs yellow. Opisthosoma oval, grey, middle of anteriorly and laterally with rod-shaped brown patterns, middle of posteriorly with inverted V-shaped brown patterns; venter with brown patterns and brown ring around spinnerets. Spinnerets base brown and tip white.
