EBF02A0EAF738298A0537C372F545FE7.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name derives from the type locality. The epithet is a noun in apposition.	en	Lin, Yucheng, Li, Shuqiang (2016): Mysmenidae, a spider family newly recorded from Tibet (Arachnida, Araneae). ZooKeys 549: 51-69, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.549.6046, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.549.6046
EBF02A0EAF738298A0537C372F545FE7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Male distinguished by the cymbial conductor with two distal macrometae (Figs 6 A-B, 7 C). Female distinguished from other congeners by the ovate spermatheca and the vulva without membranous copulatory duct or / and fertilization duct (Figs 8 B, 9 A-B). Compared with other Chinese Mysmena species, the new species and Mysmena baoxingensis Lin & Li, 2013 have the most similar in configuration of palp and inner form of epigynum (see Lin and Li 2013 a: figs 14 A-E, 15 A-D), but male differs from the latter by the shorter, wider embolus (Figs 6 A-B, 7 A-B), the two cymbial distal macrosetae (Figs 6 B, 7 A, 7 C), and female by the near egg-shaped spermatheca (Figs 8 B, 9 A-B), the upswept fertilization ducts (Figs 8 B, 9 B) and the tapering, non-sclerotized scape (Figs 8 A, 9 A). Distinguished from the Vietnamese species Mysmena maculosa and Mysmena tamdaoensis (Lin & Li, 2014) by the lack of cymbial spur and the female abdomen without posterior projection, or by a simple embolus and the epigynum with a long scape. Further distinguished from other Mysmena species in Sulawesi (Baert 1988), New Guinea (Baert 1982, 1984; Forster 1959), Samoa (Marples 1955), North America (Lopardo and Duperre 2008) and Latin America (e. g. Baert and Maelfait 1983; Gertsch 1960; Gertsch and Davis 1936; Levi 1956) by the shorter embolus and the lack of membranous copulatory duct (Figs 6 A-B, 9 B).	en	Lin, Yucheng, Li, Shuqiang (2016): Mysmenidae, a spider family newly recorded from Tibet (Arachnida, Araneae).
