Holotype: female (ASM-JGSU) from Longtan, Xiaojing village, Ciping Town, Jinggangshan County Level City, Jiangxi Province, China (26.599°N, 114.140°E, alt. 838 m), 31.V.2014, K. Liu, X. Huang, Z. Chen, Y. Tang, Z. Meng & Z. Wang. Paratype: 1 female (ASM-JGSU), same data as holotype. Etymology. Species named after the type locality (adjective). Diagnosis. Females of the new species resemble those of S. kosi Logunov & Hereward, 2006, S. martensi Bohdanowicz, 1987 and S. zonatus Peng & Li, 2008 in having the developed C-shaped sclerotized loops of the copulatory duct, but can be clearly distinguished (Figs 1C–D, 2) by the strongly enlarged median-posterior part of epigynal loop (see Logunov & Hereward 2006: figs 32−33), the shorter copulatory duct (see Logunov & Hereward 2006: figs 32−33) and the glandular duct (S. zonatus without this structure, see Peng et al. 2008: figs 23–25). Description. Female (Figs 1, 2). Total length 4.10, CL 1.70, CW 1.07, AL 2.30, AW 1.19. EL 0.91; AERW 0.98, AMEW 0.64, PERW 1.03, PMEW 0.93. Carapace reddish-brown (Fig. 1A). Eye field square (Fig. 1A), covered with short yellow hairs; anterior eye row with abundant yellowish-brown hairs, and a row of light, medially bent setae. Fovea oval, hollowed (Fig. 1A).
