Description
Pseudopoda wui Zhang, Jäger & Liu, spec. nov. Figs 259–260, Map 4
Type material. CHINA, Yunnan Province: Holotype female from Baoshan City, Tengchong County, Qushi Town, Gaoligongshan Linjiapu, 25.28°N, 98.71°E, 2642 m, 28 April 2014, J. Wu leg. (CBEE, LJ20210628010).
Etymology. The specific name is a patronym in honour of the collector, Mr Jianghao Wu; noun in genitive case.
Diagnosis. P. wui Zhang, Jäger & Liu, spec. nov. is similar to P. albonotata Jäger, 2001 (Jäger 2001) by anterior margins of LL broadly W-shaped and almost parallel to posterior margins. It can be recognised by round sclerotised parts of IDS in ventral view separated by at least their diameter from posterior margins of LL, lateral margins of LL roughly right–angled (round parts separated by less than their diameter and lateral margins of LL rounded in P. albonotata).
FEMALE (LJ20210628010): Measurements: Medium sized. Body length 12.8, DS length 5.1, width 4.6, OS length 7.7, width 5.5. Eyes: AME 0.18, ALE 0.34, PME 0.22, PLE 0.29, AME–AME 0.17, AME–ALE 0.11, PME–PME 0.25, PME–PLE 0.38, AME–PME 0.34, ALE–PLE 0.31, CH AME 0.44, CH ALE 0.36. Spination: Pp 131, 101, 2101, 1014; Fe I–III 323, IV 322; Pa I–IV 101; Ti I–IV 2126; Mt I–II 2024, III 3025, IV 3037. Measurements of palps and legs: Pp 6.3 (1.8, 0.7, 1.3, –, 2.5); I 16.7 (4.9, 2.0, 4.5, 4.0, 1.3); II 19.6 (5.3, 2.4, 5.6, 4.8, 1.5); III 14.6 (4.6, 1.7, 3.7, 3.4, 1.2); IV 16.0 (5.1, 1.1, 4.0, 4.4, 1.4). Leg formula: II-I-IV-III. Cheliceral furrow with ca. 32 denticles.
Epigyne (Figs 259A–C): As in diagnosis. EF almost twice as wide as long, with indistinct AB. LL touching each other along the middle line. FW well developed, covering entire IDS, large parts of FW covered by LL in dorsal view.
Colouration (Figs 260A–B): DS brown with dark marks and lines, margins with irregularly patterns. Fovea and striae distinctly marked. OS dorsally reddish brown with a faint transverse yellow line at posterior part. OS ventrally brown with several longitudinal lines.
MALE: Unknown.
Distribution. China (Yunnan Province).
