Diagnosis.
Qiongthela
males can be distinguished from all other
Heptathelinae
genera by the blade-like conductor narrowing to a slightly hooked apex (Fig. 2
M-O
; Fig. 4
F-J
), and by the tegulum with two distinct apophyses (Fig. 2
L-O
; Fig. 4
F-J
). The females differ from all other
Heptathelinae
genera by two paired receptacular clusters, all with numerous granula (e.g. Fig. 1
C-H
) (
Xu et al. 2015b
