3C2C9F192C4D91A4C5BCFBA4500A8F0D.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name is taken from the Latin quadri - (four) and tuberculum (tubercle, small apophysis), referring to the two pairs of small tubercles on opisthosomal areae III and IV.	en	Zhang, Chao, Martens, Jochen (2018): Ancient home or in exile?

Tarsal segments I-II with two tarsomere groups: 8 (6 + 2), 24 (22 + 2); III-IV with three each: 9 (5 + 2 + 2), 9 (5 + 2 + 2). Penis (Figs 20 - 25). Moderately slender; no clear distinction between truncus, glans, and stylus. Basis forming a large inflated part (occupying approximately one third of whole penis length) and deeply split into two parts each bearing one large muscle portions, basis well differentiated from rest of truncus; truncus beyond basis parallel-sided, distal portion close to glans inconspicuously curved (lateral view). Ventro-lateral side of truncus sub-distally with two broad foliate wing-like structures forming a transparent membrane, triangular, free pointed end curled to ventral side. Glans extremely short, armament of glans with pairs of short spicule-like setae; three pairs on dorsal side, two pairs more distally on both " lateral " sides, stylus short and rod-like. Female (Figs 13 - 15, 29 - 31). In appearance and coloration similar to the male, but body much larger (Figs 13, 29). Free tergites visible from above (Fig. 13). Basal segment of chelicerae dorso-distally with a hump covered with two long setae, and ventrally with a multitude of minute granules, similar granules medially at the base (Fig. 14). Patellae of pedipalpi with many clavate hairs (Fig. 15). Pseudoarticulations of femora I-IV: 2 / 7 / 2 / 3 - 4; pseudoarticulations of metatarsi I-IV: 1 / 14 / 2 / 3. Tarsal segments I-IV: 9 (7 + 2), 15 (13 + 2), 8 (4 + 2 + 2), 10 (6 + 2 + 2). Ovipositor (Figs 16 - 19). Short type (Martens et al. 1981, Suzuki 1974: 88), unsegmented. The apical furca bipartite, each bearing 16 setae in three groups: six long setae at the base of furca (Fig. 18), four short ones medially at the margin of apical lobe (Fig. 19), and six long ones between former two groups (Fig. 19).	en	Zhang, Chao, Martens, Jochen (2018): Ancient home or in exile?
