Type
.
Holotype ♂: CHINA, Yunnan, Mengla County, Menglun Town, 48 km landmark in Nature Reserve (
21°38.853'N
,
101°09.625'E
, 1001 m), seasonal rainforest, 30 July 2012, Q. Zhao & Z. Chen leg.
Etymology
.
The new species is named after Dr Sarah Crews for her contribution to the study of the spider family
Selenopidae
; noun (name) in genitive case.
Diagnosis.
The male resembles that of
Carrhotus sannio
(see
Żabka
1985
: figs 63-65), but the length of the tibia is nearly equal to the cymbium (Fig. 11A) vs. 2/3 of the length of the cymbium in
Carrhotus sannio
, and the cymbium has no apical process (Fig. 11C). Compared to
Carrhotus kevinlii
sp. n., the bulb length is subequal to the cymbium vs. less than half the length, the embolus has no membrane and the angle between the RTA and tibia is early 20° vs. about 45° in
Carrhotus kevinlii
sp. n.
