Figs 9–14 Type material. Holotype : 3, THAILAND : Phetchabun Province : Nam Nao National Park, 16°43.156'N 101°35.118'E , pitfall trap, 7 July 2008 , leg. P. Dankittipakul, ( MHNG , Sys-08). Paratypes : 13, same data as holotype ( TNHM ). THAILAND : Lamphang Province : 2Ƥ, Doi Khun Tan National Park, 1200 m , 25-27 January 2006 , leg. P. Dankittipakul ( MHNG , Sys-09). Uttaradit Province : 1Ƥ, Nam Pad District, Phu Soi Dao National Park, 1500-1600 m , mixed evergreen hill forest on flat plateau, 23 December 2005 , leg. P. Dankittipakul ( MHNG , Sys-10). Diagnosis. Males of S. decidua sp. nov. are similar to those of S. bifida sp. nov. and S. acuminata sp. nov. in having a triangular cymbial tubercle but can be easily distinguished by the RTA with a sharply pointed ventral process directing horizontally and a curved dorsal process ( Figs 9–10 ). Females closely resemble those of S. hainanensis Zhang et al. , 2009 but can be distinguished by a broader epigynal atrium provided with a median septum ( Figs 12–13 ). Etymology. The specific epithet is an adjective (Latin: deciduous, -a, -um ), referring to the type of forest where this new species inhabits. Description. Male ( holotype ): Total length 7.84.
