Devade longa sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 46EE5301-5716-4F18-AA81-F657959EE8C9 Figs 2–3, 11 Chinese name 长带ḍ Differential diagnosis The new species resembles D. qiemuensis (Figs 8–10) in having a longer palpal tibia (longer than half of the length of the cymbium), the fingernail edge-shaped basidorsal fold (BF) of the cymbium and similar spermathecae, but it differs by having the tibia as long as the cymbium (Figs 2A–C, 3C–E) (vs shorter, Figs 8A–C, 9C–E, 10C–E), the anterior side of the mesal process of the conductor posterior arm with a notch (Figs 2B, 3D) (vs lacking, Figs 8B, 9D, 10D), and the short septum, ca 2 times as long as wide (Figs 2D, 3F) (vs 3 times as long as wide Figs 8D, 9F, 10F). Etymology The specific epithet comes from the Latin adjective ‘ longus ’, meaning ‘long’, and refers to the longer tibia of the male palp.
