Description of male.
Male with first four segments of foretarsus strongly dilated, sub-bilobed, each heavily covered with tenent setae ventrally, segment II slightly wider than apex of tibia; tergite VIII (Fig.
3A
) with basal ridge complete, nearly straight, with one long seta on each side, apical margin with shallow and narrow medioapical emargination; sternite VIII (Fig.
3B
) with basal ridge complete, slightly sinuate, with one long seta on each side, apical margin with shallow and wide medioapical emargination, a very small triangular area in front of the emargination impunctate; sternite IX (Fig.
3C
) with basal portion short and wide, apex almost truncate, apical margin forming indistinct M-shaped indention; tergite X (Fig.
3D
) with basal side broadly and shallowly concave, apical margin complete, forming a right angle; aedeagus robust and strongly sclerotized, in lateral view (Fig.
3E
) with apex of paramere distinctly not reaching that of median lobe, apical 1/4 of median lobe strongly bent toward parameral side, without any process at apex; aedeagus in parameral view (Fig.
3F
) with paramere distinctly narrower than median lobe, wide at base, then gradually narrowed into obtuse apex, forming a near triangle shape, median lobe parallel-sided laterally, distinctly constricted at apex, apex somewhat pointed (Figs
2C
,
3F
); apical portion of paramere with four moderately long apical setae, and two similar subapical setae on each lateral side below apex, underside with seven small tooth-shaped processes along the more strongly sclerotized and pigmented midline, and 6-7 spike-like sensory peg setae arranged in cluster far below apex on each side (Figs
2B
,
3G
).

Distribution.
Quelaestrygon puetzi
Smetana is at present known only from several mountain areas in Sichuan Province of China: Mt. Gongga, Mt. Jinping and Mt. Emei. The examined male specimen was hand-collected at a parking lot after landing on the
collector's
clothes.
