Pancorius medog sp. nov. Figs 20, 47 Type material. Holotype ♀ (TRU - JS 0761), China: • Xizang Autonomous Region, Medog County, Beibeng Township, Deergong Village, Yarlung Zangbo National Nature Reserve (29°10.84'N, 95°8.67'E, ca 1670 m), 25. V. 2024, X. Q. Mi et al. leg. Paratypes • 3 ♀ (TRU - JS 0762–0764), same data as for holotype. Etymology. The specific name is named after the type locality, Medog County; noun in apposition. Diagnosis. Pancorius medog sp. nov. resembles that of P. nyingchi Wang, Mi & Li, 2024 in having a central epigynal hood (H), longitudinal band on the dorsum of abdomen, but can be easily distinguished by the following: 1) epigynal hood opened posteriorly (Fig. 20 A) vs opened ventro-posteriorly (Wang et al. 2024: fig. 12 A); 2) the distinct spermathecae (S) (Fig. 20 B) vs indistinct (Wang et al. 2024: fig. 12 B); 3) presence of central yellow area bearing pale thin setae on carapace (Fig. 20 C) vs absent (Wang et al. 2024: fig. 12 E). Description. Female (Fig. 20). Total length 5.19. Carapace 2.31 long, 1.78 wide. Abdomen 3.01 long, 2.03 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.52, ALE 0.27, PLE 0.25, AERW 1.67, PERW 1.67, EFL 1.03. Legs: I 4.08 (1.25, 0.75, 1.00, 0.63, 0.45), II 3.72 (1.13, 0.70, 0.88, 0.58, 0.43), III 4.18 (1.40, 0.63, 0.90, 0.80, 0.45), IV 4.72 (1.45, 0.68, 1.08, 1.03, 0.48). Carapace orange-brown on cephalon and dark on thoracic part, with central yellow area bearing pale thin setae, covered with pale, dark brown and golden setae. Chelicerae red-brown, with two promarginal teeth and one retromarginal tooth. Legs pale, spiny. Dorsum of abdomen grey-brown, with longitudinal, sub-fusiform central stripe extended across whole surface; venter mainly pale brown, with central, longitudinal, non-consecutive, dark patches. Epigyne (Fig. 20 A, B) longer than wide, with central, posteriorly opened hood (H) with inverted V-shaped margin; atrium (At) sub-square, located anteriorly; copulatory openings (CO) slit-shaped; copulatory ducts (CD) short, curved into U-shape and then folded to connect to antero-inner portions of spermathecae; spermathecae (S) almost spherical, with anterior extended extensions. Male. Unknown. Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Xizang, China (Fig. 47).

Abstract

Pancorius medog sp. nov. Figs 20, 47 Type material. Holotype ♀ (TRU - JS 0761), China: • Xizang Autonomous Region, Medog County, Beibeng Township, Deergong Village, Yarlung Zangbo National Nature Reserve (29°10.84'N, 95°8.67'E, ca 1670 m), 25. V. 2024, X. Q. Mi et al. leg. Paratypes • 3 ♀ (TRU - JS 0762–0764), same data as for holotype. Etymology. The specific name is named after the type locality, Medog County; noun in apposition.
