Holotype female: CHINA : Yunnan Province : Lincang City , Wulaoshan Forest Park , 23.91°N , 100.17°E , 2362 m , native forest, 11 November 2015 , Y. Zhong & Y. Zhu leg. (CBEE). Paratypes : 2 females ( CBEE ) , 1 female ( SMF ), with same data as holotype . Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin adjective latus , - a , - um , meaning “wide” referring to the wide posterior part of the lobal septum. Diagnosis. Females of this new species can be distinguished from all other Sinopoda spp. by the small glandular appendages located in the posterior part of vulva ( Figs 29 A–B, 30A–B). Description.

Glandular appendages as wide as posterior parts of spermathecae. Fertilization ducts arising posterio-laterally ( Figs 29 A–B, 30A–B). Colouration in ethanol. Dorsal prosoma yellowish-brown, almost entirely covered by reddish-brown setae, lateral margins dark, with two pairs of light patches and yellow submarginal transversal light band posteriorly.
