Figure 7 from: Mi X, Li S (2021) On nine species of the spider genus Eriovixia (Araneae, Araneidae) from Xishuangbanna, China. In: Li S (Ed.) Spiders of Xishuangbanna, China. ZooKeys 1034: 199-236. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1034.60411

“…The female of E. liuhongi sp. nov. resembles those of E. kachugaonensis Basumatary et al, 2019 in general appearance, but can be distinguished from the latter by the: 1) spinnerets situated at posterior 1/3 of the abdomen vs. posterior 1/2 (Basumatary et al 2019: figs 5-6); 2) spermathecae kidney shaped vs. globular (Basumatary et al 2019: figs 10-13); 3) spermathecae touching each other vs. separated (Basumatary et al 2019: figs 10-13); and 4) copulatory ducts extend to the lateral edges of the epigyne vs. extended to the central part of the epigyne (Basumatary et al 2019: figs 10-13). The male and female resemble those of E. cavaleriei (Schenkel, 1963) by the shape of the copulatory organs, but can be distinguished by: 1) lacking a white stripe on the anterior edge of abdomen vs. 2 white stripes extending to the anterior edge (Schenkel 1963: fig.…”

“…The members of the genus Eriovixia are medium-sized orb-weaving spiders, found in Africa and Asia (Murphy & Murphy, 2000). Recently five new species, Eriovixia nocturnalis was described from Bangladesh (Biswas & Raychaudhuri, 2018), Eriovixia kachugaonensis from India (Basumatary et al, 2019), E. nigrimaculata, E. huwena, and E. jianfengensis from Hainan, China (Han & Zhu, 2010).…”
