Figs 10–11 , 14 Draconarius tortus Chen, Zhu & Kim 2008 : 86 , figs 2–5 ( ♀ ); Jiang et al. 2017 : figs 1–15 ( Ƌ ♀ ); Zhu et al, 2017 : 393 , fig. 257 ( ♀ ). Diagnosis. Males can be distinguished from the similar T . qixianensis sp. n. by the thin RTA, conductor pointed posteriorly with a lamella and a strong dorsal apophysis. From the similar T. liangensis sp. n. by the patellar apophysis with a pointed tip, narrow embolus, and the long lamella of the conductor. From the similar T . yumiganensis sp. n. by the lack of a spine next to the RTA, patellar apophysis with a pointed tip, and the cymbial furrow over 2/3 the length of the cymbium ( Fig. 10 B–C). Females can be distinguished from the similar T . yosiianus sp. n. by the wide and truncated epigynal teeth which are pointed anteriorly and spermathecae overlapped at their tip. From the similar T . liangensis sp. n. by copulatory ducts thin vs. wide ( Fig. 11 A–B). Description. Cervical groove and radial furrows dark. All eyes absent. Leg yellowish. Abdomen grey. Male palp: patellar apophysis with pointed tip; VTA triangular; length of RTA about 1/3 the length of VTA; cymbial furrow about 2/3 the length of the cymbium; embolus beginning at 5 o’clock position; conductor with a blunt dorsal apophysis and a large lamella ( Fig. 10 A–C). Epigyne: atrium 2 times wider than long, located at posteriorly; teeth short, 4 times wider than length, spaced of each other by 3 widths; copulatory ducts convoluted with 7 coils; spermathecae spaced by 2 widths ( Fig. 11 A–B).
