Diagnosis. Wuliphantes dahonghaiensis sp. nov. resembles W. trigyrus Irfan, Wang & Zhang, 2023 in having similar characters of copulatory organs (Figs 8A–D, 9A–E; Irfan et al. 2023b, figs 61A–D, 62A–C), but can be distinguished by the embolus with one coil (Fig. 8A; vs with 3 coils); base of protegulum (PT) lacking teeth (Fig. 8B; vs with about 8 small teeth). Copulatory ducts with about 3 coils before entering the spermathecae (Fig. 9D; vs with about 7 coils); spermathecae bean-shaped in anterior view (Fig. 9C; vs cone-shaped). Description.

Opisthosoma 1.14 long, 0.72 wide, oval, dorsally with 5 chevrons, dusky gray, ventral side greenish. Palp (Fig. 8A–D). Femur unmodified, longer than both patella and tibia. Patella as long as wide, shorter than tibia. Tibia conical, with 2 retrolateral trichobothria. Paracymbium (PC) U-shaped, simple, proximal end wide with thick setae, distal arm slightly curved with blunt tip. Cymbium leaf-shaped in ventral view, gradually tappering towards apex; tegulum longer than wide in retrolateral view with well-developed protegulum bulge on ectal side; embolic plate with a short finger-shaped prolateral arm (DPE) long median arm (VPE) extending towards distal end of cymbium with claw like tip and retrolateral arm (RPE) triangular with blunt tip; median membrane (MM) distinct; embolus forming 1.75 coils, originates from center position. Female (paratype, SWUC-T-LIN-32-02, Fig. 10C, D): total length 1.84; carapace 0.78 long, 0.60 wide, cephalic region slightly elevated, yellowish brown with gray pattern, cervical and radial grooves distinct.
