Diagnosis. Females of H . gracilis are most similar to the females of the Chinese species Hygropoda campanulata Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2004 as both share small bell-shaped anterior epigynal cavity [mislabeled as ‘hood’ in Zhang et al. (2004) ], broad lateral lobes, W-shaped posterior margin, and short and longitudinal copulatory ducts. However, they can be separated from the latter species by the lateral lobes extending ⅔ rd of median epigynal field ( vs . ½ th in H . campanulata ), a longitudinally oriented base of spermatheca ( vs . horizontal in H . campanulata ), and L-shaped fertilization ducts originating from the base of spermatheca ( vs . comma-shaped and originating from the head of spermatheca in H . campanulata ) (cf. Figs 36 , 43–47 and Zhang et al. 2004 : figs 75–76).

Remarks. The ZMUC collection currently has two syntypes of this species, both are very fragile and bleached. One is a juvenile female. The other is an adult female with intact epigyne ( Figs 35–36 ) (N. Scharff, pers. comm.). Jäger (2011) mentioned that the syntypes of D . gracilis were subadult and juvenile females. However, many species of Hygropoda have simple epigyne with an anterior epigynal cavity and lateral epigynal lobes as seen in H . argentata Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2004 , H . campanulata and H . taeniata Wang, 1993 ( Zhang et al. 2004 : figs 72, 74, 90). Hygropoda gracilis also has a similarly simple epigyne ( Fig. 36 ). Additionally, the developed spermathecae are evident through the transparent epigynal plate of the female syntype ( Fig. 36 ). All these suggest that the specimen mentioned by Jäger (2011) as subadult is in fact an adult female as mentioned by Thorell (1891) .
