Abstract

GANTHELA WANGJIANGENSIS XU, KUNTNER & LIU SP. NOV. (FIG. 7) Holotype Female (XUX-2013-159), Mount Wangjiang, Huangyang Village, Zhuangbian Town, Hanjiang District, Putian City, Fujian Province, China, 25.66°N, 118.87°E, 680 m a.s.l., 10 July 2013, collected by F.X.

Ganthela wangjiangensis sp. nov. differs from all other Ganthela species by the following unique nucleotide substitutions in the standard DNA barcode alignment: G (54), C (101), C (179), C (320), A (336), T (372), C (386), C (422), G (476), T (512), and C (632). Description Female (holotype). Carapace and opisthosoma light brown; tergites slightly dark brown; sternum narrow, length more or less twice of width; a few long pointed hairs running over ocular mound in a longitudinal row; chelicerae robust, with promargin of cheliceral groove with 12 strong denticles of variable size; legs with strong hairs and spines; opisthosoma with 12 tergites, with tergites 2–6 larger than others, and the with tergite 4 being largest; seven spinnerets. Measurements: BL 11.50, CL 4.90, CW 4.30, OL 6.40, OW 5.55; ALE> PLE> PME> AME; palp 7.94 (2.78 + 1.50 + 1.48 + 2.18), leg I 9.10 (3.05 + 1.35 + 1.70 + 1.80 + 1.20), leg II 9.50 (2.80 + 1.67 + 1.71 + 2.02 + 1.30), leg III 10.00 (2.75 + 1.76 + 1.57 + 2.45 + 1.47), and leg IV 13.62 (3.83 + 1.92 + 2.28 + 3.52 + 2.07). Female genitalia The posterior part of genital area W-shaped (Fig. 7A, B), with a pair of receptacular clusters separated from each other, and with the basal parts of short genital stalks fused (Fig. 7A, B).
