The present paper deals with a new species of the genus Heptathela which we proposed to name as H.hongkong to celebrate the returning of Hong Kong to the motherland.Type specimen is deposited in the University of Hong Kong.All measurements given are in millimeters.The diagnosis of the new species is given below: Heptathela hongkong sp.nov.(Fig.1) Holotype: ♂,Kadoorie Farm,February,14,1995,pitfall trap,Wu,K.Y. Total length of the male 9 64:cephalothorax 5 08 long,4 76 wide;abdomen 4 37 long,2 84 wide.Carapace yellow brown,abdomen and legs darker.Prosoma slightly longer than wide,head high.Ocular area trapezoidal in shape,wider than long (0 81∶0 75).Chelicera with 11 promarginal teeth,4 of them vestigial teeth.Leg setaceous.Leg formula:4,3,2,1.Supperior claws of tarsus each with 3 teeth,inferior one small and without tooth.Palp as shown in fig.1 B,C.Opisthosoma narrow,with two lateral margins parallel to each other.Female unknown. Etymology:The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality. The new species may be readily distinguished from all known species of the genus by its structure of the palp.For example,it differs from H.hangzhouensis in the end of embolus being small cylinder in shape,not like a sharp spine,and also in the end of conductor hook like,instead of a straight spine.
