Etymology.
The specific epithet is a noun in apposition, taken from the
type
locality, Ujung Kulon National Park in
Western
Java
, which is one of the last big reserves of primary lowland forest in
Java
.
Diagnosis.
Males of
I. ujungkulon
sp. nov
.
resemble males of
I. barratus
Edward & Harvey, 2014
and
I. monteithi
Edward & Harvey,
2014
in palpal morphology but
I. ujungkulon
sp. nov
.
can be distinguished by the shape of the tip of the bulb with its less sclerotized helix-shaped membrane (
hm
,
Figs. 25
C–F) making it appear like a korkscrew. Also the slightly sclerotized crown-shaped process on the fang base of
I. ujungkulon
sp. nov
.
(

,
Figs. 26
C, D) is diagnostic and lacking in
I. barratus
and
I. monteithi
.
Description. Male
: (PBI_OON00052391). Total length 1.43; carapace length: 0.68; carapace width: 0.55; abdomen length; 0.63.
CEPHALOTHORAX:
Carapace
pale orange, broadly oval in dorsal view, pars cephalica strongly elevated in lateral view, anteriorly narrowed to 0.49 times its maximum width or less, surface of elevated portion of pars cephalica smooth, sides finely reticulate; lateral margin straight, smooth.
Clypeus
margin unmodified, straight in front view, sloping forward in lateral view, high, ALE separated from edge of carapace by their radius or more.
Eyes
six, well developed, ALE largest, ALE oval, PME squared, PLE oval; posterior eye row straight from above, procurved from front; ALE touching, ALE-PLE touching, PME touching throughout most of their length, PLE- PME touching.
Sternum
as long as wide, yellow, uniform, surface smooth, microsculpture absent, lateral margin without infra-coxal grooves, distance between coxae approximately equal, extensions of pre-coxal triangles absent, lateral margins unmodified; setae, dark, needle-like, evenly scattered, originating from surface.
Mouthparts:
Chelicerae, endites and labium yellow. Chelicerae straight, anterior face unmodified, directed medially, shape normal, tip unmodified; setae dark, needle-like, evenly scattered. Fang base with weakly sclerotized crown-shaped process (

,
Figs. 26
C, D). Labium rectangular, not fused to sternum, anterior margin not indented at middle, same as sternum in sclerotization; with setae. Endites distally not excavated, anteromedian tip with one strong, tooth-like projection, much more heavily sclerotized than sternum.
ABDOMEN: ovoid, pointed posteriorly; dorsum soft portions white, without color pattern. Posterior spiracles not connected by groove. Scutum extending far dorsal of pedicel. Dorsal scutum weakly sclerotized, pale orange, without color pattern, covering 1/2 to 3/4 of abdomen, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width, not fused to epigastric scutum, middle surface smooth, sides smooth. Epigastric scutum weakly sclerotized, surrounding pedicel, not protruding, small lateral sclerites absent. Postepigastric scutum weakly sclerotized, yellow, short, almost rectangular, covering about 1/3 of the abdominal length, not fused to epigastric scutum, anterior margin unmodified. Spinneret scutum present, incomplete ring. Dorsum setae present, dark, needle-like. Spinneret scutum with fringe of needle-like setae. Interscutal membrane without setae.
LEGS: yellow, without color pattern; patella plus tibia I shorter than carapace, tibia I unmodified. Leg spination: femora: I p0-1-1; II p0-0-1; patellae: II p1-1-0; r1-1-0; tibiae: I, II p2-2-0; r2-2-0; metatarsi: I p1-1-0; r1- 1-0. GENITALIA: Epigastric region with sperm pore large, oval, situated at level of anterior spiracles, unmodified. Bulb with one small ventral protuberance, retrolateral lobe hook-like (
