Type material. Holotype male, China , Yunnan Province, Xishuangbana Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Jinghong City, Mengyang Town, Wild Elephant Valley, 22°10′25.68″N, 100°51′56.58″E, alt. 782m , 3 May 2011 , Z.X. Li & G.C. Zhou leg. (SWUC). Paratypes : 2 males and 19 females , with same data as holotype (SWUC). Etymology. The specific name is a Latin adjective, meaning hook-like, and refers to the shape of the lateral apophysis. Diagnosis. Zoica unciformis sp. nov. is similar to Z. carolinensis (Framenau et al. 2009: 228, figs 5–8), but differs by the pointed basal process of the lateral apophysis, the retrolaterally directed hook-shaped branch and the stout embolus ( Figs 5 A–C, 6D, 6G–H); Heads of spermathecae ovate, stalks of spermathecae short and strong ( Figs 5 D–E, 6E–F).
