Lysiteles leptosiphus sp. nov. Figs 26–27 Type material: Holotype: ♀, China : Hainan: above the Wuzhishan mountainside (N18º53.835', E109º41.889', alt. 1593 m), 9 April 2009, G. Tang (IZCAS, Tang _ No. 111). Paratype: 1 ♀, same data as holotype (IZCAS, Tang _ No. 111). Etymology. The specific epithet is taken from the Latin adjective leptosiphus, and means small-tubeshaped, referring to the small copulatory ducts. Diagnosis. This new species is similar to L. silvanus Ono, 1980, but can be separated from the latter by the simple twist of the copulatory ducts around spermathecae (twisted together complicately in L. silvanus). Description. Female (holotype measured): Total length 2.80. Prosoma 1.10 long, 0.90 wide; Opisthosoma 1.80 long, 1.60 wide. Prosoma yellow, carapace with a large “n”-shaped blackish brown marking. Eye measurements: AME 0.07; ALE 0.12; PME 0.05; PLE 0.10; AME–AME 0.12; AME–ALE 0.22; PME–PME 0.20; PME–PLE 0.26. MOA length 0.26 with front width 0.28 and back width 0.30. Chelicera blackish brown, gnathecoxa and labium brown, sternum yellow. Legs yellow with sparse spines. Leg formula: II, I, IV, III; leg measurements: I: 2.70 (0.80, 1.00, 0.50, 0.40); II: 2.90 (0.85, 1.10, 0.55, 0.40); III: 2.05 (0.70, 0.75, 0.30, 0.30); IV: 2.15 (0.70, 0.80, 0.35, 0.30). Opithosoma with a pairs of longitudinal grayish black stripes extend to the venter. Epigynum (Figs 26 B–F, 27 A–B). Epigynum with a narrow sclerotized plate, copulatory openings bilaterally, copulatory ducts slender, twisted once around the oval spermathecae. Male: Unknown. Distribution. China (Hainan). Only known from the type locality. Variation. Total length: female, 3.30–4.00 (n=2).Published as part of Tang, Guo & Li, Shuqiang, 2010, 2369, pp. 1-68 in Zootaxa 2369 on pages 35-3
