Diagnosis.

Bogdocosa multivaga is similar to B. flavida and B. yunshani sp. nov. in having a pair of epigynal lobes (Figs 8 D View Figure 8 , 10 C View Figure 10 ; 1 B View Figure 1 , 2 D View Figure 2 , 4 C View Figure 4 ; 11 D View Figure 11 , 13 C View Figure 13 ), but can be distinguished by ventral arm of median apophysis digitiform ventrally in B. multivaga (Figs 8 B View Figure 8 , 9 B, D, G View Figure 9 , 14 C View Figure 14 ) (vs. rod-shaped in B. flavida , Figs 2 B View Figure 2 , 3 B, D, G View Figure 3 , 14 A View Figure 14 ; sectorial in B. yunshani sp. nov., Figs 11 B View Figure 11 , 12 B, D, G View Figure 12 , 14 D View Figure 14 ). Females can be distinguished by interlobar space narrower than lobe width with individual lobes 1.5 times as wide as long in B. multivaga (Figs 8 D View Figure 8 , 10 C View Figure 10 ) (vs. two epigynal lobes closely approximated with individual lobes 2 times as wide as long in B. flavida , Figs 1 B View Figure 1 , 2 D View Figure 2 , 4 C View Figure 4 ; interlobar space equal to lobe width and individual lobes as wide as long in B. yunshani sp. nov., Figs 11 D View Figure 11 , 13 C View Figure 13 ).

Description.

Leg measurements: I 8.07 (2.33, 2.72, 1.85, 1.17); II 7.14 (2.11, 2.32, 1.63, 1.08); III 7.76 (2.08, 2.42, 2.09, 1.17); IV 12.26 (3.20, 3.57, 3.92, 1.57).
