Diagnosis: This species is similar to
D. capitulatus Wang
2003 in
having similar spermathecae, absence of epigynal teeth, and anteriorly extending conductor, and prolaterally originated embolus. The female of this species has the atrial ridges extending laterally, ending posteriorly close to the epigastric furrow, forming a round-shaped median area (Figs 407-408), whereas the atrial ridges of
D. capitulatus
extend relatively medially, ending posteriorly anterior to the epigastric furrow, and forming a triangular-shaped median area (Fig. 44). The male can be recognized by the slender patellar apophysis, the slightly bifurcate, smoothly curving conductor, and the absence of a median apophysis (Figs 409-410).
Description: Female. See Wang (2003). Photos of habitus, eyes, labium and epigynum are provided in this study (Figs 411-414, 418-424).
Male (male of CASENT9025826 measured). The male is here described for the first time. Large sized coelotine, total length 12.04 (Fig. 425). Dorsal shield of prosoma 5.41 long, 3.63 wide; opisthosoma 6.63 long, 4.89 wide.
AME
smallest, half the size of ALE; ALE largest, PLE slightly smaller than ALE, PME slightly smaller than PLE (
AME
0.11,
ALE
0.19,
PME
0.16,
PLE
0.18);
AME
separated from each other by their diameter, from PLE by slightly less than
AME
diameter; PME separated from each other by slightly less than their diameter, from PLE by slightly more than PLE diameter (AME-AME 0.11, AME-ALE 0.09, PME-PME 0.13, PME-PLE 0.20, AME-PME 0.14) (Fig. 426). Labium length and width subequal (
L
/
W
=1.0) (Fig. 427). Chelicerae with 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth. Palp with patellar apophysis long, slender; RTA short, less than or about half of tibial length, with distinctly protruding distal end; lateral tibial apophysis large; cymbial furrow small, less than half of cymbial length; conductor moderately long, anteriorly extending, with a slightly bifurcate apex, a small basal lamella, and a dorsal apophysis; median apophysis absent; embolus short, filiform, prolateral in origin (Figs 409-410, 415-417).
Distribution: China (Yunnan: Fugong, Gongshan) (Fig. 547).
