Males of Songthela can be distinguished from all other Heptathelinae genera by contrategulum with dense dentations (Figs 3A, 3D, 4A, 4D, 5A, 5D, 6A, 6D); by conductor with one or two apical spines, middle portion smooth or covered with several teeth (Figs 3A–E, 4A–4E, 5A–5E, 6A–E); by embolus with a wide and flat opening (Figs 3A, 3D, 4A, 4D, 5A, 5D, 6A, 6D). Songthela females differ from all other Heptathelinae genera by two pairs of receptacular clusters, median ones with obvious tubular genital stalks located on anterior margin of bursa copulatrix or slightly situated dorsally, lateral ones located relatively dorsolaterally (Figs 3H–O, 4H–M, 5H–M, 6H–M).</p> <p>Distribution.

Female genitalia also show intraspecific variation: length of middle genital stalks is different (Fig. 5H–J); lateral receptacular clusters are distinctly smaller than middle ones (Fig. 5I) compared with the other samples (Fig. 5H, J), posterior margin of genital area trapezoid (Fig. 5K, L) or W-shaped (Fig. 5M).</p> <p>Etymology. The species epithet is an adjective from the combination of the Latin serri (serrate) and formis (shaped), and refers to the serrated margin of conductor proximally.</p> <p>Distribution. Chongqing (Nan’an), China.</p> <p>GenBank accession number. Holotype: XUX-2012-245: OL982297.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/7D07C96FFFFAFFEB5080FAB3FC21FAE9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Males of Songthela wangerbao sp. nov. can be distinguished from S. pyriformis and S. longbao sp. nov. by conductor with narrower base and straight and slender apical spine (Fig. 6A, B, D, E), by contrategulum with an apophysis proximally and dense dentations distally (Fig. 6A, D); from S. jinyun sp. nov. by apical spine of conductor slender (Fig. 6A, B, D, E), by embolus with a distinct shrink near the opening ventrally (Fig. 6A, B, D, E), by contrategulum with dense dentations distally (Fig. 6A, D); from S. serriformis sp. nov. by conductor smooth (Fig. 6A–G); from other Songthela species by smooth conductor with one apical spine pointed to one fourth of embolus opening distally (Fig. 6A, B, D, E). Females of Songthela wangerbao sp. nov. differ from S. ciliensis by lateral receptacular clusters with shorter stalks (Fig. 6H–J); from S. jinyun sp. nov. by distance between middle receptacular clusters smaller and lateral genital stalks shorter (Fig. 6H–J); from S. longbao sp. nov. by distance between middle receptacular clusters larger, by posterior part of genital area wider (Fig. 6H–M); from S. serriformis sp. nov. by middle receptacular cluster situated on anterior margin of bursa copulatrix, posterior margin of bursa copulatrix weakly sclerotised (Fig. 6H–J); from other Songthela species by middle receptacular clusters situated on anterior margin of bursa copulatrix with distinct genital stalks, similar-sized lateral ones with obscure genital stalks, situated slight dorsolaterally (Fig. 6H–M).</p> <p>Description.

Measurements: BL 17.71, CL 7.70, CW 7.13, OL 8.73, OW 6.72; ALE&gt; PLE&gt; PME&gt; AME; palp 14.50 (4.99 + 2.64 + 2.92 + 3.95), leg I 16.78 (5.65 + 3.06 + 3.10 + 3.13 + 1.84), leg II 16.01 (4.95 + 2.87 + 2.96 + 3.29 +1.94), leg III 16.60 (4.82 + 3.08 + 2.97 + 3.68 + 2.05), leg IV 23.63 (7.05 + 3.56 + 4.36 + 5.81 + 2.85).</p> <p>Female genitalia: Four receptacular clusters with tuber genital stalks separated from each other basally. The middle ones situated on anterior margin of bursa copulatrix. Lateral ones situated slight dorsolaterally, posterior margin of bursa copulatrix weakly sclerotised. Posterior margin of genital area wide trapezoid (Fig. 6H–M).</p> <p>Variation. Males and females vary in body size. The range of measurements in males as follow (N = 2): BL 15.65–16.18, CL 6.89–6.92, CW 6.55–6.68, OL 7.67–8.13, OW 5.70–6.42; females (N = 7): BL 14.56–20.88, CL 6.95–12.72, CW 6.48–8.38, OL 6.78–10.40, OW 4.90–10.42. The number of promargin of cheliceral groove varies from 9 to 11 (N = 9). In addition, male palps show intraspecific variation: contrategulum with a distinct apophysis (Fig. 6A) or not proximally (Fig. 6D). Female genitalia also show intraspecific variation: oval receptacular clusters (Fig. 6I) or irregular (Fig. 6H, J), and slender and longer middle genital stalks (Fig. 6H) or thicker and shorter middle genital stalks (Fig. 6I, J).</p> <p>Etymology. The species epithet, a noun in apposition, refers to the type locality.</p> <p>Distribution. Chongqing (Wanzhou), China.</p> <p>GenBank accession number. Holotype: XUX-2012-271: OL982298.</p> <p>Remarks. The first Songthela species, S. bristowei, recorded from Wanzhou, Chongqing, was described based on one female specimen (Gertsch 1967). According to the original descriptions and illustrations (Gertsch 1967; Haupt 1983), S. bristowei has four receptacular clusters close to each other with short genital stalks, and lateral receptacular clusters larger than middle ones, all of which are different from those of the two new species, S. longbao sp. nov. and S. wangerbao sp. nov., described from Wanzhou in this study. The recorded male of S. bristowei was collected from Mt. Heng, Hengyang, Hunan Province, far away from the type locality of the species. Moreover, only two unclear illustrations were provided and lack of detailed descriptions of the male specimen (Yin et al. 1983). Therefore, we doubt that the male described from Mt. Heng by Yin et al. (1983) was S. bristowei as the female collected from Wanzhou, Chongqing according to the high endemism of liphistiids.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/7D07C96FFFF4FFE85080FA4BFB68F8CD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
