E64587A2FFD5EC42FF7566ECC4E84584.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The male of this species closely resembles that of U. deelemanae sp. nov. in the general shape of the palp, but differs in: (1) the beginning of the visible portion of the sperm duct, which is anterior to the tip of the retrolateral tibial apophysis in retrolateral view (Fig. 1 C) vs posterior in U. deelemanae (Fig. 4 C); (2) the visible portion of the subtegulum, which is about ½ the cymbial length in prolateral view (Fig. 1 A) vs about two-fifths in U. deelemanae (Fig. 4 A); (3) the tip of the retrolateral tibial apophysis is about directed towards about 02: 30 position in retrolateral view (Fig. 1 C) vs about 12: 30 position in U. deelemanae (Fig. 4 C). The male also somewhat resembles that of U. arcuata Zhao & Peng, 2014 in the general shape of the palp, but can be distinguished by the retrolateral tibial apophysis that is almost equal in width in the basal third, with its tip directed dorsally in retrolateral view (Fig. 1 C) vs tapered and tip directed distally in U. arcuata (Zhao & Peng 2014: figs 1 E, 2 C). The female of this new species closely resembles that of U. gongshanensis Zhao & Peng, 2014 in having a very similar epigyne, especially the anterior atrial rim and the copulatory ducts, but can be distinguished by the following aspects: (1) the connecting ducts are almost tapered from the posterior to the anterior portions (Figs 2 B, 3 B) vs narrowest antero-medially in U. gongshanensis (Zhao & Peng 2014: figs 7 C, 8 B); (2) the bursal extensions are almost transversely extending and are not continuations of the anterior bursal margins (Figs 2 B, 3 B) vs posterolaterally extending and are continuations of the anterior bursal margins (Zhao & Peng 2014: figs 7 C, 8 B); (3) the spermathecae are almost touching each other and their long axis is at about 60 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the epigyne (Figs 2 B, 3 B) vs separated by at least ¼ their width and at about 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the epigyne in U. gongshanensis (Zhao & Peng 2014: figs 7 C, 8 B).	en	Zhang, Jincan, Shi, Guocai, Wang, Cheng, Mi, Xiaoqi (2025): Two new species of Utivarachna Kishida, 1940 from Yunnan, China (Araneae: Trachelidae).
