This new species is most similar to Draconarius lutulentus (Wang et al., 1990) in the strongly convoluted spermathecae and long spermathecal stalks, but can be distinguished by: 1) spermathecal base with a distinct curvature in D. jiemuxiensis sp. nov. (Fig. 3D), while without distinct curvature in D. lutulentus (Wang 2003: figs 39B, 40B, 40F); 2) spermathecal heads invisible in D. jiemuxiensis sp. nov. (Fig. 3D), while visible in D. lutulentus (Wang 2003: figs 40B, 40F). Description. Female (holotype) (Fig. 3A, B). Total length 7.45; carapace 3.46 long, 2.48 wide; clypeus 0.20 high.
