Bioacoustics of Anyphaena grovyle

Diagnosis. Males of A. grovyle Lin & Li , sp. nov. are similar to those of A. mogan Song & Chen, 1987 in having a similarly shaped MA, C, and RTA, but they can be distinguished by the jagged terminus of the MA ( vs. smooth in A. mogan ), the C reaches the top of the MA ( vs. C short, C and MA do not touch in A. mogan ), and the length ratio of the dRTA to the vRTA is almost 1:2 ( vs. 1: 4 in A. mogan ). Females of A. grovyle Lin & Li , sp. nov. are similar to A. mogan in having globular S and convoluted CDs with an enlarged base, but the COs directed laterally ET ( vs. ET absent in A. mogan ), and in A. grovyle Lin & Li , sp. nov. , the sclerotized epigynal plate is with an atrium, COs laterally ( vs. COs without any cover in A. mogan ). Description. Male ( holotype , IZCAS-Ar42101, Figs 1A–C , 12A , 14A ). Total length 5.12, carapace 2.02 long, 1.41 wide, pale yellow. Opisthosoma 3.62 long, 1.52 wide. Opisthosoma pale yellow. AER slightly recurved, PER procurved. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.08, ALE 0.11, PME 0.12, PLE 0.12, AME–AME 0.10, AME–ALE 0.09, PME–PME 0.11, PME– PLE 0.12, AME–PME 0.15, ALE–PLE 0.14. Clypeus height 0.06. Chelicerae with four promarginal and eight retromarginal teeth. Endites, labium, and sternum pale yellow. Legs yellow, covered with many setae. Leg measurements: leg I 9.19 (2.20 + 3.26 + 2.50 + 1.23), leg II 7.50 (2.04 + 2.93 + 1.77 + 0.76), leg III 8.13 (2.65 + 3.04 + 1.72 + 0.72), leg IV 9.17 (2.82 + 2.92 + 2.52 + 0.91). Leg formula 1432. Palp ( Figs 1A–C , 12A ). VTBA short; RTA with two parts, longer than wide, dRTA long, needle shaped, two times longer than vRTA. vRTA triangular. Sp with two conspicuous spirals. MA irregular polygon shaped, terminus flat, serrated. C strongly curved, tip reaches the MA. E filamentous. Female ( paratype , IZCAS-Ar42217, Figs 2A–B , 14B ). Total length 6.72, carapace 2.20 long, 1.81 wide, pale yellow. Opisthosoma 4.02 long, 2.52 wide. Colour as in male. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.10, ALE 0.12, PME 0.13, PLE 0.13, AME–AME 0.11, AME–ALE 0.10, PME–PME 0.12, PME–PLE 0.12, AME–PME 0.16, ALE–PLE 0.14. Clypeus height 0.08. Chelicerae with four promarginal and three retromarginal teeth. Leg measurements: Leg I 8.60 (2.24 + 3.24 + 2.06 + 1.06), leg II 6.90 (1.66 + 2.46 + 1.80 + 0.98), leg III 5.25 (1.65 + 1.72 + 1.18 + 0.70), leg IV 8.01 (2.46 + 2.45 + 2.30 + 0.80). Leg formula 1423. Epigyne ( Figs 2A–B ) wider than long; COs inconspicuous, with ET above; CDs convoluted, base of CDs enlarged. AG distinct, located anterolaterally of S. S globular. Material examined. Holotype ♂ , China : Hainan , Wuzhishan City , Wuzhi Mountain ( 18.0695°N , 109.8774°E ), 9 April 2009 , leg. Guo Tang (IZCAS-Ar42101). Paratypes . 115♂ (IZCAS-Ar42102–Ar42216), same data as holotype ; 150♀ (IZCAS-Ar42217–Ar42300, Ar42326–Ar42391), same data as holotype . Distribution. Known only from the type locality. Etymology. The species is named after Grovyle, a fictional character from Pokémon Emerald that lives in the forest, as does the new species; noun (name) in apposition.
