Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition from the
type
locality.
Diagnosis.
This new species is similar to
Trilacuna gongshan
Tong, Zhang & Li, 2019
, but males can be distinguished by the broad sickle-shaped branch of embolus system (
Fig. 3E, H
), and females by the large globular structure of the endogyne (
Fig. 5B
).
T. gongshan
males have three long, tooth-like lobes of embolus system, and females have a very small globular structure of endogyne (
Tong
et al.
2019
: figs 11B, D, 24H).
Description. Male
(
holotype
, SYNU-264). Body yellow, chelicerae and sternum lighter. Habitus as in
Fig. 1A, C, E
. Body length 1.97; carapace 0.93 long, 0.76 wide; abdomen 1.03 long, 0.68 wide. Carapace sides granulate; lateral margin rebordered. Six eyes, well developed, arranged in a compact group; ALE, PME and PLE subequal; ALE-PLE separated by less than ALE radius, PME touching each other; posterior row recurved from above, procurved from front (
Fig. 1B, I
). Clypeus sinuous in frontal view, anterior lateral eyes separated from edge of carapace by about 1.4 times their diameter. Mouthparts: chelicerae straight, proximal region with one hair with elevated hair base; labium rectangular, anterior margin deeply incised (
Fig. 1D
); endites slender, distally strongly branched (
Fig. 1D
). Sternum with radial furrows between coxae I-II, II-III, III-IV; surface medially strongly reticulated (
Fig. 1D
). Abdomen (
Fig. 1G, H
): booklung covers ovoid, surface smooth; dorsal scutum not fused to epigastric scutum; apodemes present, posterior spiracles not connected; sperm pore oval, situated between anterior and posterior spiracles. Leg spination (all spines longer than segment width): legs I-II: tibia: v2-2-2-2-0, metatarsus: v2-2-0. Palp (
Figs 2
A–D, 3): orange; 0.62 long (0.19, 0.14, 0.14, 0.15); femur greatly swollen (width/length = 0.68); bulb oval, tapering apically; embolus system (
Fig. 3E, F, H
) with a broad sickle-shaped branch (ssb) in prolateral view, a median branch (mb) in dorsal view, and a lateral curved branch (lb) in retrolateral view.
Female
(SYNU-267): Same as male except as noted. Habitus as in
Fig. 4A, C, E
; slightly larger than male. Body length 2.02, carapace 0.91 long, 0.76 wide, abdomen 1.15 long, 0.72 wide. Endites: unmodified. Epigastric area (
Figs 4G
,
5A
): surface without external features. Endogyne (
Fig. 5B
): with narrow, transverse sclerite (tsc), an anterior stick-shaped sclerite (as), and a posterior large globular structure (glo); transverse bar (tba) with two lateral apodemes (ap).
Distribution

locality (
