Etymology.
The specific name refers to the
type
locality; adjective.
Diagnosis.
Male distinguished from other species as follows: from
C. acris
sp. nov.
by the blunt apex of compound teminal apophysis (
Figs 32
,
38, 39
; sharp in
C. acris
sp. nov.
,
Figs 1
,
5
); from
C. gracilis
sp. nov.
by the shorter and wider embolus, and the shape of tegular apophysis (
Figs 32
,
38, 39
; rectangular in
C. gracilis
sp. nov.
,
Figs 19
,
25, 26
); from
C. setifera
sp. nov.
and
C. liaoi
(Peng & Li, 2006) by the relatively long embolus (
Figs 32
,
38, 39
; 64, 70; 45, 49); from other species by the shape of median apophysis. Female differs from other species by having sclerotized copulatory ducts, which are wide in diameter and connected to a triangular sclerite (
Figs 34, 35
,
40, 41
).

Chelicerae small and yellow, with two promarginal teeth, retromargin with three teeth. Endites, labium and sternum yellow. Leg I and II with black segments. Metatarsus I with three pairs of ventral spines. Opisthosoma cylindrical, yellowish brown, with three pairs of pale yellow spots, anterior and posterior margins covered with long brown setae; ventral opisthosoma yellow. Spinnerets yellow, anterior spinnerets shorter and stronger than posterior ones. Palp (
Figs 32, 33
,
36–39
): Embolus relatively long and convoluted, originating from the median part of the bulbus. Compound terminal apophysis with blunt apex. Tegular apophysis with one pointed apophysis in ventral view. Median apophysis axeshaped in ventral view.
Female
(
Figs 34, 35
,
40, 41, 43, 44
): Total length 2.1, PL 1.1, PW 1.0, OL 1.0, OW 0.9. Eye sizes: AME 0.3, ALE 0.2, PME 0.05, PLE 0.2, AER 1.0, PER 0.85, EFL 0.6. Legs: I 2.2 (0.7, 0.35, 0.45, 0.45, 0.25), II 1.9 (0.55, 0.25, 0.4, 0.4, 0.3), III 1.85 (0.55, 0.25, 0.4, 0.4, 0.25), IV 2.75 (0.9, 0.35, 0.7, 0.5, 0.3); formula: 4123.
Opisthosoma oval, yellow, with three pairs of black spots, following one black latitudinal stripe. Other characters similar to those of male. Epigyne (

): weakly sclerotized, with a bottom groove leading to the copulatory openings. Vulva (
Figs 35
,
41
): Copulatory ducts twisted and folded, merged and extending towards the groove. Spermathecae oblong, connected to a triangular sclerite.
Distribution.
