Diagnosis.
This new species resembles
Trachelas japonicus
Bösenberg & Strand, 1906
, but can be distinguished from the latter by: (1) atrium rounded anteriorly; (2) epigynal plate with two triangular impressions on the lateral side posteriorly; (3) bursa situated medially of the copulatory openings.
Etymology.
The species name is a noun in apposition, derived from the
type
locality.

Fovea nearly pit-shaped, dark and distinct. Clypeal height 0.08. Eye diameters: AME 0.07, ALE 0.10, PME 0.08, PLE 0.08. Eye interdistances: AME–AME 0.05, AME–ALE 0.05, PME–PME 0.10, PME–PLE 0.10; MOA 0.18 long, front width 0.13, back width 0.25. Chelicerae with three promarginal and two retromarginal teeth.

Two large atria anteriorly, nearly oval; two triangular impressions posteriorly implying the inner muscular attachment. Bursa situated medially of copulatory openings, teardropshaped; spermathecae globose, larger than bursa, situated in the posterior part of epigynum, connecting with the copulatory ducts through thinner and longer ducts; fertilization ducts short, arising from the posterolateral ends of the spermathecae.
