Etymology.
The specific name refers to the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The male of this new species is similar to that of C. yuelushanensis Wang, Zhou & Peng, 2019 ( Wang et al. 2019: figs 7 A, 8 C – E) in having the strong retrolateral tibial apophysis, and the slender and filiform embolus, but differs by the longer and curved conductor end (Figs 2 A, B View Figure 2 , 3 C – E View Figure 3 ) (vs. knife-like in C. yuelushanensis ). The female is similar to that of C. tetragongylodes Liao, Yin, He & Xu, 2022 ( Liao et al. 2022: 485, figs 6 A – E, 7 A, B) in having the posteriorly located epigynal atrium, the ball-shaped spermathecae and secondary spermathecae, but differs by the unconnected anterior edge of atrium (Figs 2 C View Figure 2 , 3 F View Figure 3 ) (vs. closely connected in C. tetragongylodes ) and the secondary spermathecae encircled by copulatory ducts (Figs 2 D View Figure 2 , 3 G View Figure 3 ) (vs. all spermathecae surrounded by copulatory ducts in C. tetragongylodes ).
