Etymology. The species name is a noun in apposition derived from the Chinese pinyin "qíyì" ("strange") and refers to the unique trifurcate projection on the male clypeus.
Diagnosis. The male of this species is easily recognized by the distinctly slender elongate cymbial protrusion, the bifurcate conductor, and the flat embolus. The female is diagnosed by the single pair of slender elongate spermathecae.
Description. Male (
holotype
). Total length 2.63; carapace 0.65 long, 0.76 wide; abdomen 1.36 long, 0.56 wide. Carapace round, yellow, with three longitudinal brown bands of which middle band 3–4 times wider than laterals (
Fig. 8C
). Fovea shallow, dark brown. Anterior margin of thoracic region distinctly elevated. Chelicerae light yellow. Cheliceral promargin with dentoid lamina and no teeth, retromargin with one small denticle, posterior surface of fang with 19 small denticles. Clypeus light yellow, slanting with trifurcate projection medially and two horn-like projections basally (
Figs 8
C– D). Labium yellow, slanting. Sternum yellow, with a pair of irregular brown bands. Abdomen elongate, yellow, with brown bands dorsally and ventrally. Legs brown, femur and tibia each with white annulation; measurements: I 13.12 (3.60, 0.28 3.88, 4.30, 1.06), II 8.85 (2.50, 0.27, 2.49, 2.78, 0.81), III 6.99 (2.00, 0.27, 2.05, 2.02, 0.65), IV 6.83 (1.98, 0.28, 1.88, 2.02, 0.67). Palp (
Figs 7
A–D): tibia and cymbium slender; tibia distinctly more than twice as long as cymbium; cymbium with slender apical protrusion nearly as long as cymbium; bulb yellow, oval; embolus flattened, conductor bifurcate, embolus and conductor both arising distally from bulb but separated basally.

Female. Similar to male in coloration and general features, but slightly smaller and lacking trifurcate clypeal projection. Measurements: total length 2.10; carapace 0.63 long, 0.70 wide; abdomen 1.34 long, 0.76 wide.

External genitalic area with pair of translucent lobes laterally (

). Vulva with pair of slender elongate spermathecae (

).
