(ssḦḄǞƦ) Figures 239–243 Types. Holotype ♁, CHINA , Yunnan , Gongshan County , Dulongjiang Township , East bench of Dulongjiang at Baili Village , 28.00985°N , 98.32352°E , alt. 1670m , 3 November 2004 , D. H. Kavanaugh leg. ( DHK –2004– 070) . Paratypes : 6♁ 4♀ , same data as holotype ( DHK – 2004–070) . Etymology. This epithet derives from the Latin adjective “ ceratinus ”, meaning “horned” and refers to the horn-like prolateral tibial apophysis in the male palp. Diagnosis. The new species resembles Oia sororia Wunderlich, 1973 ( Figs 239A–D , 240A–D , 241A–C ; Wunderlich, 1973 , figs 36, 37), but can be distinguished by dorsal tibial apophysis relatively narrower in O. ceratinum sp. nov. ( Figs 239A, B , 240A ), whereas broader in O. sororia sp. nov. ( Wunderlich, 1973 , figs 36, 37). Distal suprategular apophysis leaf-shaped in retrolateral view in O. ceratinum sp. nov. ( Figs 239B , 240B ), whereas tongue-shaped in O. sororia sp. nov. ( Wunderlich, 1973 , figs 36, 37). Copulatory ducts spirally coiled before entering the spermathecae in O. ceratinum sp. nov. ( Fig. 241A–C ), whereas directly enter the spermathecae in O. sororia sp. nov. ( Wunderlich, 1973 , fig. 42). FIGURE 228. Nematogmus cikaiensis sp. nov. female (one of paratypes).
