Taira qiuae-group Diagnosis. Male spiders in the T. qiuae species-group (Figs 25C–E, 26C–E, 27C–E) can be differentiated from male spiders in the T. flavidoralis species-group by the following combination of characters: tibia of male palp with two retrolateral apophyses in the T. qiuae species-group, whereas with a single or degenerated apophysis in the T. flavidorsalis species - group; dorsal tibial apophysis with some small teeth-like apophyses, not bifurcated in the T. qiuae species-group, whereas obviously branched in T. flavidorsalis- group; conductor with additional and strongly sclerotized apophysis in the T. qiuae species-group, whereas membranous in T. flavidorsalis- group; tegular apophysis present at the top of the tegulum, covering most of embolus in ventral view in the T. qiuae species-group, whereas originating from the area between the base of conductor and embolus in the T. flavidorsalis species - group. Female spiders in the T. qiuae species-group (Figs 25F, G, 26F, G, 27F, G) can be distinguished from female spiders in the T. flavidoralis species-group by the following characters: lateral margins of the epigynal median lobe indistinct in the T. qiuae species-group, whereas distinct in the T. flavidorsalis- group; spermathecae long in the T. qiuae speciesgroup, whereas oval to round in the T. flavidorsalis species - group; fertilization ducts much longer in the T. qiuae species-group than in the T. flavidorsalis species - group. Composition and distribution. Three species are included and all are known only from China: Taira qiuae Wang, Jäger & Zhang, 2010 (♂ ♀), T. sichuanensis Wang, Jäger & Zhang, 2010 (♂ ♀), T. zhui Wang, Jäger & Zhang, 2010 (♂ ♀) (Fig. 28).
