Etymology.
The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
Diagnosis.
The new species is similar to T. xinping in the granulated carapace and the slightly elevated male epigastric region, but can be distinguished by the sternum strongly rugose (Fig. 7 D View Figure 7 ) vs. reticulate, with a cluster of short setae ( Tong et al. 2019: fig. 20 A), the base of bulb strongly swollen ventrally (Figs 8 A View Figure 8 , 9 A View Figure 9 ) vs. straight ( Tong et al. 2019: figs 19 E, 23 E), the psembolus with two leaf-like lobes (Fig. 9 D View Figure 9 ) vs. comb-shaped lobes ( Tong et al. 2019: fig. 20 B), and the scutum of female covering about 5 / 6 of abdomen length (Fig. 10 A, C, E View Figure 10 ) vs. the whole abdomen ( Tong et al. 2019: fig. 21 A, B, C).

Eyes (Fig. 7 B, H View Figure 7 ): well developed; ALE largest, PLE smallest; posterior eye row recurved from above, procurved from front; ALE separated from edge of carapace by 1.3 diameters. Mouthparts (Figs 7 D View Figure 7 , 8 G View Figure 8 ): endites distally branched. Sternum (Fig. 7 D View Figure 7 ): surface strongly rugose. Abdomen (Fig. 7 A, C, E, G View Figure 7 ): 0.69 long, 0.54 wide; sperm pore situated at level of anterior spiracles; apodemes present, posterior spiracles not connected by groove; with small semi-circular spot situated between posterior spiracles; epigastric region slightly elevated. Palp (Figs 8 A – F View Figure 8 , 9 A – H View Figure 9 ): yellow; 0.54 long (0.17, 0.10, 0.11, 0.16); femur swollen (width / length = 0.82); tibia about as long as patella; bulb triangular, base strongly swollen ventrally, tapering apically; psembolus complex, with basal branch (bb), 2 leaf-like lobes (lll), broad median branch (mb) and lateral branch (lb), surrounded by numerous fiber structures.
Female. Same as male except as noted. Body length 1.62; habitus as in Fig. 10 A, C, E View Figure 10 . Carapace 0.68 long, 0.55 wide.
