Figs 14‒15, 17‒25 , 32‒34 , 54 Types . Holotype ♂ (SMF) and paratype ♀ (SMF) LAOS , Champasak Province , Muang Bachieng, Pak Son, 15°10'36"N , 106°14'15.2"E , 1280 m , plateau, pine forest, by hands, sieving. 27.11.2009 (S. Bayer). Etymology . The specific name is a patronym in honour of our colleague and friend Peter Jäger (Frankfurt am Main, Germany ) who made great contributions to the study of Laotian spiders. Diagnosis . The new species is closely related to S. femininis ( Figs 1‒13 ) from which it can be distinguished by shorter retrodorsal tibial apophysis, egg-shaped cymbium (but not droplet-shaped with distinct tapering tip), simple conductor (not three-dimensional and partly encircling the tip of the cymbium, Fig. 8 ), shorter epigynal scape, thicker copulatory ducts with 6 free coils (copulatory ducts not thinner with 13‒14 closely spaced coils, Figs 5‒7 , 12‒13 ). Description . Male. Total length 4.15, carapace 1.9 long, 1.53 wide. Carapace yellowish-brown without pattern. Chelicerae, maxillae, labium and sternum yellowish. Legs yellowish-brow with yellow coxae. Abdomen gray with brown trapezoidal scutum. Legs with long trichobothria. Longest trichobothria on tarsi and metatarsi about 2/3 of segment length (as in Fig. 4 ). Leg measurements in ♂ .
