Draconarius transversus sp. nov. Figs 71–75, 87 Type material. Holotype male, 68 male and 3 female paratypes, VIETNAM: Vinh Phuc Province, Tam Dao National Park (21º31.56’N, 105º33.15’E), March 2007 to March 2008, Dinh-Sac PHAM leg; 3 male paratypes, VIETNAM: Ninh Binh Province, Cuc Phuong National Park (20º21.44’N, 105º34.21’E), March 2007 to March 2008, Dinh-Sac PHAM leg. Etymology. The specific epithet is taken from Latin ‘ transversus ’, referring to the transverse lateral tibial apophysis of the new species; adjective. Diagnosis. The male of this new species can be distinguished from other Draconarius species by two patellar apophysis and stout median apophysis (Figs 71B, 72A, 73B, 74B); the female of this new species is similar to D. hanoiensis, but can be distinguished from the latter by the absence of coiled copulatory ducts (Figs 72C, 75C).

The male palp with two patellar apophyses, ventral slender and long, dorsal short and strong (Figs 71B, 74B); the tibia extremely long and slightly curved (Figs 71B, 74B); RTA occupying almost entire tibia length, distinctly extended distally (Figs 71B, 74B); lateral tibial apophysis small, widely separated from the RTA (Figs 71B, 74B); cymbial furrow less than half of cymbial length (Figs 71B, 74B); conductor short and broad, with a sharp distal end and a curved dorsal apophysis (Figs 71B, 72A, 73B, 74B); median apophysis stout, not spoon-shaped (Figs 71B, 72A, 73B, 74B); embolus filiform, prolateral in origin (Figs 72A, 73B). Female. Total length 5.50–7.00. One of paratype total length 5.75, prosoma 2.75 long, 1.90 wide; opisthosoma 3.00 long, 1.80 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.08; ALE 0.13; PME 0.13; PLE 0.13; AME–AME 0.03; AME–ALE 0; ALE–PLE 0; PME–PME 0.08; PME–PLE 0.03. Clypeus height 0.13. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I: 7.10 [2.00, 2.25, 1.75, 1.10]; II: 7.15 [2.00, 2.35, 1.75, 1.05]; III: 6.70 [1.90, 2.15, 1.75, 0.90]; IV: 9.30 [2.50, 3.10, 2.50, 1.20]. Chelicerae with three promarginal and two retromarginal teeth. Epigynum without epigynal teeth (Figs 72B, 75B); atrium small, labiate, close to epigastric furrow (Figs 72B, 75B); copulatory ducts distinct, extending medially and anteriorly between spermathecae, originating from the anterior margin of atrium (Figs 72C, 75C); spermathecae more or less elongated, spermathecal bases widely separated (Figs 72C, 75C); spermathecal heads distinct, anteriorly arising from the copulatory ducts, slightly separated from each other (Figs 72C, 75C). Habitat preferences. These specimens were collected by pitfall traps, this species may live on the forest floor or in leaf litter. Distribution.
