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.
