DIAGNOSIS. The female of Takeoa nishimurai differs from that of all known species of Zoropsis , the only other East Palaearctic genus of Zoropsidae , by short scape ( Sc ) not reaching epigastral furrow ( vs . long scape, reaching epigastral furrow) and by converging receptacles ( Re ) with almost touching heads ( RH ) (diverging or parallel receptacles with widely separated heads) (cf. Figs 8–10 vs . Marusik & Kovblyuk, 2004 : figs 5–6). The male of T. nishimurai can be distinguished from that of Zoropsis by wide retrolateral tibial apophysis with blunt tip ( vs . narrow, sharply pointed retrolateral tibial apophysis), triangular retrolateral marginal bump of cymbium ( vs . elliptical) and by triangular bulging proximal part of tegulum ( vs . circular; cf. Bosselaers, 2002 : fig. 1A–B and Griswold & Ubick, 2001: figs 2, 5). Additionally, the male of T. nishimurai differs from that of T. huangshan Tang, Xu et Zhu, 2004 by non-bifurcated distal part of embolus ( vs . bifurcated; cf. Bosselaers, 2002 : fig. 1A and Tang et al ., 2004 : fig. 4). The female of T. huangshan is unknown. REDESCRIPTION. Female. Total length 12.3. Carapace: 5.9 long, 4.5 wide.

Epigynal plate 1.2 times wider than long. Fovea ( Fo ) elliptical, 2.7 times wider than long. Lips of epigyne ( Li ) almost square-shaped, with rectangular handle ( HL ).
