Figs 1, 2, 7 Type material. Holotype ♂: China: Hainan: Baoting County: Maogan Village, Xiananshilin Cave, N18°35'52" , E109°25'37" , 616 m, 26.VI.2014, F. Li & X. Wang. Paratype: 1♀, same data as holotype. Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective. Diagnosis. The male of Notiocoelotes maoganensis sp. n. can be easily distinguished from all other Notiocoelotes species, except Notiocoelotes palinitropus , by having a semi-circular conductor. From Notiocoelotes palinitropus , the male of the new species can be distinguished by the short cymbial furrow about 1/3 of cymbial length (while Notiocoelotes palinitropus male has a long cymbial furrow, about 0.5 times as long as cymbial length) (cf. Fig. 1 A-C ; Zhu and Wang 1994 : figs 19-21). The female of Notiocoelotes maoganensis sp. n. can be easily distinguished from all the other Notiocoelotes species, except Notiocoelotes palinitropus , by the almost rectangular atrium. From Notiocoelotes palinitropus , the female of the new species can be distinguished by a broad atrium, about two times as long as wide (while Notiocoelotes palinitropus female has a narrow atrium, about three times as long as wide) (cf. Fig. 2 A-B ; Liu and Li 2010 : fig. 9B). Description. Male (holotype): Total length 8.60. Carapace 4.75 long, 3.50 wide. Abdomen 3.85 long, 2.75 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.20, ALE 0.23, PME 0.25, PLE 0.25; AME-AME 0.08, AME-ALE 0.02, PME-PME 0.08, PME-PLE 0.10. Leg measurements: I: 21.15 (5.75, 6.00, 5.50, 3.90); II: 18.00 (5.50, 5.25, 4.50, 2.75); III: 17.00 (5.00, 5.00, 4.75, 2.25); IV: 22.35 (6.25, 6.70, 6.50, 2.90). Carapace yellowish, the radial grooves indistinct, with the nearly lip-shaped dark pattern, sternum yellowish, about almond-shaped. Abdomen brownish, with yellow and transversal spots, nearly oval-shaped. Legs yellowish, with black annulations. Palp: tibia long, about 1/3 of cymbial length; RTA small, 1/3 of tibial length; LTA divided into two parts, most crescent-shaped and about 1/2 length of RTA; conductor long, with one loop; embolus beginning at 6:30 o'clock position, with the triangular base, about 1/3 width of tibia (Fig. 1 A-C ). Female (paratype): Total length 8.75. Carapace 4.25 long, 3.50 wide. Abdomen 4.50 long, 3.00 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.20, ALE 0.28, PME 0.25, PLE 0.25; AME-AME 0.05, AME-ALE 0.01, PME-PME 0.08, PME-PLE 0.10. Leg measurements: I: 16.50 (4.75, 5.00, 4.00, 2.75); II: 14.25 (4.25, 4.50, 3.50, 2.00); III: 13.10 (4.00, 4.10, 3.25, 1.75); IV: 17.65 (5.15, 5.75, 4.50, 2.25). Carapace beige, with grey lateral margins; sternum nearly almond-shaped, light brown, with wide yellow median band. Abdomen grey-brown, nearly oval-shaped, with beige herringbone pattern. Legs yellowish, with black annulations. Epigyne: atrium elongated, with distinct septum, about two times as long as wide, posterior broaden; copulatory ducts covering anterior parts of receptacles, about 1.2 times as long as wide; receptacles narrow, about 2.5 times as long as wide; copulatory openings distinct (Fig. 2 A-B ). Distribution. Known only from the type locality (Fig. 7).
