03D187D41224FFA077EB05D0A1FA02E2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males of this species can be distinguished from other Sinopoda species by its unique vRTA developed as massive triangle in retrolateral view. Females are similar to those of Sinopoda scurion Jäger, 2012 (Jäger 2012: figs 61 – 65) in having glandular appendages inconspicuous in dorsal view, but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characters: 1. Epigynal field significantly wider than long (as wide as long in S. scurion); 2. Eight eyes present (eyes absent in S. scurion) (Figs 1 A – F, 2 A – D, 3 A – B).	en	Zhong, Yang, Jäger, Peter, Chen, Jian, Liu, Jie (2019): Taxonomic study of Sinopoda spiders from China (Araneae: Sparassidae).

A series of field collections in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces were carried out by the colleagues of Hubei University in 2016. 19 male and 17 female specimens were collected in these field exploratories, among which several pairs were captured during mating. Later, the males were identified as S. longiducta in the lab, but the females were not the same as the ones described by Zhang et al. 2015. Here, we provide the true female of S. longiducta and transfer the presumed female of S. longiducta to S. yaanensis sp. nov. in this paper.	en	Zhong, Yang, Jäger, Peter, Chen, Jian, Liu, Jie (2019): Taxonomic study of Sinopoda spiders from China (Araneae: Sparassidae).

03D187D41214FF9077EB04D4A19A07B6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males of this new species resemble those of S. aequalis sp. nov. (Figs 4 A – C, 4 A – D) and S. apiculiformis sp. nov. (Figs 7 A – C, 8 A – D) in having a general similar palpal conformation, especially the embolus tip being as long as embolic apophysis and the tegulum covering the proximal part of embolus. Males can be distinguished from S. aequalis sp. nov. and S. apiculiformis sp. nov. by vRTA being more than half as long as dRTA (slightly shorter in S. aequalis, three times shorter in S. apiculiformis) (Figs 40 A – C, 41 A – D). Females are similar to those of S. brevis sp. nov. (Figs 10 D – E, 12 A – B) in having a narrow lobal septum and horizontal anterio-lateral margins of lateral lobes, but can be separated by: 1. Epigyne with posterior margin of epigyne almost straight (distinctly bilobate in S. brevis); 2. Vulva with glandular appendages as wide as posterior parts of spermathecae (slightly narrower in S. brevis) (Figs 40 A – E, 41 A – D, 42 A – B).	en	Zhong, Yang, Jäger, Peter, Chen, Jian, Liu, Jie (2019): Taxonomic study of Sinopoda spiders from China (Araneae: Sparassidae).

Spination: Palp: 131, 101, 2121, 1014; Fe: I – III 323, IV 321; Pa: I – IV 001; Ti: I – III 2026, IV 2126; Mt: I – II 0 0 0 4, III 2026, IV 3036. Measurements of palp and legs: Palp 5.5 (1.7, 0.6, 1.3, –, 1.9); I 15.6 (4.4, 1.5, 4.5, 3.8, 1.4); II 17.5 (5.4, 1.7, 4.9, 4.2, 1.3); III 14.2 (4.3, 1.4, 3.9, 3.3, 1.3); IV 16.3 (4.6, 1.3, 4.4, 4.4, 1.6). Leg formula: II-IV-I-III. Cheliceral furrow with 3 anterior, 4 posterior teeth and ca. 32 denticles. Copulatory organ as in diagnosis. Epigynal field wider than long, with narrow anterior bands. Lateral lobes fused, with broadly triangular median incision. Internal ducts stout, running two thirds parallel along the median line. Glandular appendages much narrower than other parts of the duct system, postero-laterad. Fertilization ducts arising posterioly (Figs 59 D – E, 61 A – B). Colouration in ethanol. As in males, but prosoma dorsally with much more dark setae and dorsal opisthosoma dark brown (Figs 61 C – D).	en	Zhong, Yang, Jäger, Peter, Chen, Jian, Liu, Jie (2019): Taxonomic study of Sinopoda spiders from China (Araneae: Sparassidae).
