Pregenital sclerite relatively large, V 1 separated fro V 2, V 3 at same level of pregenital sclerite and near Cx-IV, excretory pore smooth. P-4 with straight ventral margin and two ventral hairs dividing it in 2:1:2, sword seta at same level of distoventral hair.

Description Female (n = 2) Idiosoma soft and oval, frontal edge slightly concave; O 1 between A 1 and A 2, O 2 between D 1 and slightly front of D 1; all slit organs visible, So 1 near A 2, So 2 at the middle of L 1 and L 2, So 3 at same level of D 2, So 4 near L 4, So 5 behind of D 4 (Figs 16A, 18A). ACG fused and with suture line, apodemes of ACG almost transverse; PCG separated. Pregenital sclerite relatively large, three pairs of acetabula in weakly curved line, Ac3 largest. V 1 separated from V 2, V 3 at same level of pregenital sclerite and near Cx-IV, V 4 at horizontal line between Ac1 and Ac2, V 3 and V 4 forming trapezoid; excretory pore smooth and between V 2 (Figs 16B, 18B). Palp five-segmented; P-1 short, P-2 and P-3 without projection, P-4 with straight ventral margin and two ventral hairs, dividing P- 4 in 2:1:2, sword seta at same level of distoventral hair (Fig. 16C). Ventral margin of I-L-5 as long as dorsal margin, S-1 close to S-2, S-2 longer and thicker than S-1, ventrally curved whip-like seta at end of I-L-5, and near dorsal slide; I-L-6 stout, thick at its base, tapering towards end (Fig. 17).

Remarks This new species is similar to Atractides (Atractides) cardiacus Zhang & Guo sp. nov. in the following characters: (1) V 1 separated from V 2; (2) excretory pore smooth; (3) I-L-6 stout, thick at its base, tapering towards the end. However, the new species differs from A. (A.) cardiacus in the following aspects: (1) sword seta of P-4 at the same level of distoventral hair in the new species, but at the same level of proximoventral hair in A (A.) cardiacus; (2) ACG and PCG occupy half of the venter in the new species, but ACG and PCG of the female A (A.) cardiacus occupy one third of the ventral view; (3) excretory pore between V 2 in the new species, but slightly behind the parallel line of V 2 in the female A (A.) cardiacus.
