Figs 25 , 26 , 56F , 58 Types. Holotype : ♂ (IZCAS), Myanmar, Kachin State, Putao Town, Hponkanrazi Wildlife Sanctuary Roadside between Camp 2 to Camp 3, 27°37.1500'N , 96°58.9170'E , elevation ca 2806 m, 16.XII.2016, J. Wu leg. Paratype : 1♀ (IZCAS), same data as holotype. Etymology. The species name is an adjective referring to the type locality. Diagnosis. Males of L. hponensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from congeners by the presence of a three-branched, laminar apophysis on the distal end of the bulb (Fig. 26B ) (vs. the absence of a three-branched laminar apophysis in congeners), a spheroid bulb (vs. the bulb of congeners have other shapes), tibia with a retrolateral apophysis bearing a spine that is three times shorter than the apophysis, the entire apophysis, including the spine, is two times longer than the tegulum (Fig. 26D ) (vs. the absence of such a combination of a tibia apophysis and spine in congeners); the female can be differentiated from congeners by the pair of stalked spermathecae with a triangular distal part (Fig. 25A ). Figure 25. Leclercera hponensis sp. nov., male holotype and female paratype. A Endogyne, dorsal view B female epigastric area, ventral view C male habitus, dorsal view D female habitus, dorsal view E female habitus, ventral view. Abbreviation: SP = spermatheca. Description. Male (Holotype). Total length 2.30; carapace 0.80 long, 0.88 wide; abdomen 1.50 long, 0.75 wide. Carapace round and brown, with dark brown longitudinal median band (Fig. 25C ). Chelicerae brown (Fig. 56F ). Clypeus light brown. Endites dark brown, light brown basally. Labium dark brown. Sternum light brown. Abdomen elongated, antero-dorsally with dark brown spots, posterior with dark brown stripes medially, antero-ventrally with dark brown elliptical patch, posterior with indistinct dark brown pattern. Legs uniformly brown; measurements: I 8.97 (2.53, 0.31, 2.81, 2.19, 1.13), II 7.10 (1.94, 0.31, 2.19, 1.72, 0.94), III 5.25 (1.44, 0.31, 1.47, 1.25, 0.78), IV 7.97 (2.06, 0.31, 2.13, 2.38, 1.09). Palp (Fig. 26A-D ): femur slender, four times longer than patella; patella not swollen; tibia 1.5 times shorter than femur, with retrolateral apophysis anteriorly bearing a spine, two times longer than tegulum, spine three times shorter than apophysis (Fig. 26D ); cymbium three times shorter than femur; bulb brown, spheroid, with embolus and laminar apophysis arising distally; three-branched, laminar apophyses almost equal in length but shorter than embolus; embolus laminar, longer than all other laminar apophyses of its own (Fig. 26B ). Female (Paratype). General features and coloration similar to those of male (Fig. 25D, E ). Measurements: total length 2.40; carapace 0.84 long, 0.94 wide; abdomen 1.56 long, 1.19 wide. Leg measurements: I 7.75 (2.06, 0.31, 2.44, 1.88, 1.06), II 6.47 (1.72, 0.31, 1.94, 1.56, 0.94), III 4.53 (1.25, 0.31, 1.13, 1.09, 0.75), IV 6.44 (1.72, 0.31, 1.88, 1.56, 0.97). Epigastric area (Fig. 25B ): dark brown patch delimiting a horizontal light brown slit. Endogyne (Fig. 25A ): a pair of stalked spermathecae with anterior stalks and posteriorly a triangular distal part. Distribution. Known only from the type locality (Fig. 58 ). Figure 26.
