Figs 16A–B , 17A–B , 18A–B , 19 Type material. Holotype female: CHINA : Yunnan Province : Chuxiong City , Mt. Zixi , 25.0039°N , 101.4189°E , 2461 m , 15 May 2014 , Yang Zhong & Xiaowei Cao ( CBEE ). Etymology . The specific name is derived from the Latin adjective peronatus , -a , -um , meaning “wearing boots”, referring to the shape of lateral lobes ( Figs 16A , 17A ); adjective. Diagnosis. This new species can be distinguished from other species in P. daliensis group by the curved anterior margins of lateral lobes and the boot-shaped lateral lobes ( Figs 16A–B , 17A–B ). Description.

Arrow indicates the curved anterior margin of lobe. FIGURES 17A–B. Pseudopoda peronata sp. nov. A Epigyne, ventral; B Vulva, dorsal. Scale bars: 0.5 mm. Epigynal field wider than long. The anterior margins of lateral lobes broad “V”-shaped, posterior part of lateral lobes with distinct lateral projections. FW covering most of internal duct except the middle part, spermathecae spoon-shaped ( Figs 16A–B , 17A–B ). Colouration in ethanol: DS yellow with dark spots and small patches of dark hairs. Fovea and radial furrows distinctly marked. OS dorsally creamy white with reddish-brown patches, laterally spotted, ventrally creamy white with sparser, but larger marks ( Figs 18A–B ). Distribution.
