Other material examined:

Prosoponoides hamatum
Millidge & Russel-Smith, 1992
. – MHNG; male holotype of
P. simile
Millidge & Russel-Smith, 1992
. – MHNG; male holotype of
Kenocymbium deelemanae
Millidge & Russel-Smith, 1992
.
Etymology:
The specific epithet is a noun in apposition referring to the “terra typica”, the
Jambi Province
.
Diagnosis:
The new species is characterized by the strongly reduced distal part of the paracymbium, by the thick and long embolus, as well as by the presence of a long, downward-directed process on the
convector
.
Description:
Male
(
holotype
). Medium-sized
Linyphiinae
, total length 2.30, habitus as shown in
Fig. 9
. Carapace 1.05 long, 0.80 wide, unmodified, reddish brown, with darkened cephalic part and indistinct grey radial stripes as well as with darker margin; sulci absent. Chelicerae 0.50 long, mastidion absent. Legs reddish brown, end of segments darkened. Fe I 1.50 long. Leg IV 3.95 long (1.05+0.25+0.95+1.10+0.60). Chaetotaxy. FeI: 1-2- 0-0, II-IV: 1-0-0-0; TiII: 2-1-1-0, III: 2-0-0-1, IV: 2-1- 0-0. TmI 0.22. Metatarsus IV without trichobothrium. Palp (

): Proximal part of paracymbium triangular and projecting forwards, distal part short, narrow, slightly curved, transparent, poorly visible. Distal suprategular apophysis small, claw-shaped.

(21) Embolic division, ventral view.
Embolus thick, slightly bent. Embolic membrane a long, narrow stripe. Radix large, flat, with a long apophysis directed downwards. Abdomen 1.20 long, 0.70 wide, dorsal pattern as shown in
Fig. 9
.
Female
. Unknown.
Taxonomic remarks:
The new species is similar to
Prosoponoides hamatum
, known from northern
Sumatra
, but clearly differs by a twice shorter distal part of the paracymbium (not shown on palp illustrations of
P. hamatum
in
Millidge & Russel-Smith, 1992
), as well as by its thick embolus and the presence of a specific process on the
convector
.
Distribution:
Known only from the
type
locality on
Sumatra
Island,
Indonesia
.
