Etymology.
The species name is a noun in apposition derived from the Chinese pinyin
chujiăo
(antenna) and refers to the structure of the spermathecae that resembles two pairs of clavate antennae (
Fig. 22A
).
Diagnosis.
Thaiderces chujiao
sp. nov. can be distinguished from other species by the two pairs of tubular spermathecae resembling two pairs of clavate antennae, lateral pair half the length of the median pair (
Fig. 22A
) (vs. circular spermathecae with with ovoid duct in
T. haima
sp. nov.).
