Stenohya guangmingensis Zhao, Guo & Zhang, 2024 (光ª狭伪$) Figs 1.9, 69T, 70R Stenohya guangmingensis Zhao et al., 2024: 122–130, figs 13–18. Diagnosis Male carapace of the anterior half significantly wider than the back part; pedipalpal femur with a large tubercle in the median area and two subdistal projections on the prolateral surface; chelal hand with 23 spinous apophyses on the dorsal side; male femur of leg I with an inward depression on the distal part, patella of leg I enlarged. Female carapace 1.02–1.10 times as long as broad; carapace with a total of 29–30 setae; apex of pedipalpal coxa with six long setae; pedipalpal patella 3.39–3.46 times as long as broad; pedipalpal movable chelal finger with 92–94 teeth; pedipalpal fixed chelal finger with 95–98 teeth. Material examined Holotype CHINA • ♂; Jiangxi Province, Jinggangshan City, Guangming Township, 868 County Road; 26°26′04″ N, 114°12′11″ E; 305 m a.s.l.; 31 Jan. 2023; in leaf litter and under rocks; Xiangbo Guo, Jianzhou Sun, Tao Zheng & Songtao Shi leg.; Ps.- MHBU-JX2023013101. Paratypes CHINA • 4 ♂♂, 3 ♀♀; same collection data as for holotype; Ps.- MHBU-JX2023013102–08. Distribution China: Jiangxi Province. Remarks The most obvious sexual dimorphism of this species is found on the carapace, pedipalp and leg I. For the carapace: the anterior half of the male carapace protrudes to the sides, the front half is significantly wider than the back half (carapace of female is nearly rectangular). For the pedipalp: the male femur has a large tubercle on the median and two subdistal projections on the prolateral surface; the chelal hand has 23 spinous apophyses on the dorsal side, while the pedipalp of the female is almost smooth. The male leg I is stronger than that of the female, and the femur of the male has an inward depression on the distal part (female is straight).
