Body length 8.9, DS length 4.0, width 3.5, OS length 4.3, width 2.9.

Measurements of palp and legs: Pp: 6.5 (2.0, 0.7, 1.1, 2.7); I 19.0 (5.3, 1.5, 5.8, 4.8, 1.6); II 20.7 (5.9, 1.6, 6.2, 5.2, 1.8); III 15.7 (4.6, 1.4, 4.4, 3.9, 1.4); IV 18.8 (5.6, 1.3, 5.0, 5.2, 1.7). Spination: Pp: 131, 101, 2111; legs: Fe I – II 323, III 322, IV 321; Pa I – IV 001; Ti I – II 2026, III – IV 2126; Mt I – II 2024, III 3036, IV 3236. Leg formula: II-I-IV-III. Chelicerae with 3 promarginal, 4 retromarginal teeth, and c. 16 denticles.</p><p>Palp (Fig. 1 A – F): As in diagnosis. Tibia almost 1 / 3 of the length of cymbium, RTA arising medially from tibia, vRTA with rounded distal part in ventral view, dRTA quadrangular in ventral view, ventral distal tibia with a short blunt apophysis. Retroproximal cymbium with a short blunt process (paracymbium in Ramírez 2014); alveolus extending into distal cymbial half. Conductor filiform, arising from tegulum at 11 o’clock position. Embolic projection slightly curved, almost 2 / 5 of the length of cymbium. Embolus arising sub-centrally from tegulum.</p><p>Colouration (Fig. 2 A, B): Carapace light orange, with black spots except posterior margin. Chelicerae light orange, with black spots. Legs yellow, with black spots. Sternum yellow, with orange margins. Opisthosoma yellowish-grey, dorsum medially with four light brown dots, venter laterally with light brown spots, in front of spinnerets with a light brown V-shaped marking.</p><p>Female: unknown.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species shows similar palpal morphology to Pseudopoda strombuliformis (e. g., large alveolus, extremely elongated and filiform embolus, and short and quadrangular dRTA), differing from other congeners. These two species probably belong to an undefined species group. The stick-shaped embolus projection, and long and filiform embolus are similar to Martensopoda Jäger, 2006, a genus endemic to the southern mountain ranges of India (Jäger 2006). Therefore, we considered that these two Pseudopoda species may represent a transitional group between Pseudopoda and Martensopoda, or that the morphological similarities may result from convergent evolution.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Fig. 8).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1C4B6F065BC857B48FD07D18F6DA2E84	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
