ABSTRACT. Pseudopoda kunmingensis sp.n., from Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. РЕЗЮМЕ. Приведено иллюстрированное описание нового вида Pseudopoda kunmingensis sp.n. из Юньнаня (Китай).

Introduction
The spider family Sparassidae Bertkau, 1872, currently contains 83 genera and 1094 species worldwide [Platnick, 2011]. At present 99 species of 11 genera are reported from China [Song et al., 1999; Li & Wang, 2011; Platnick, 2011]. The genus Pseudopoda was established by Jдger in 2000, and Sarotes promptus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1885, was designated as the type species. Nine known Heteropoda species were transferred to this new genus [Jдger, 2000]. All species in the genus can be recognized by the membranous conductor, broadened and flattened embolus, lengthened tegulum in the male palpal organ, and the presence of lateral lobes rising distinctly beyond epigastric furrow posteriad in the female epigynum. At present, thirty-six species are known from China [Li & Wang, 2011; Platnick, 2011]; among them, twentythree species are known from Yunnan Province, and Yunnan is considered as the center of the distribution range of the genus Pseudopoda [Jдger & Vedel, 2007; Jдger, 2008; Yang et al., 2009]. While examining spider specimens collected in 2004 from Yunnan, China, a new Pseudopoda species was recognized, and it is described below: Pseudopoda kunmingensis sp.n.

Total length is the sum of carapace and abdomen length regardless of the petiolus and abdominal overlap. Eye sizes were measured as the maximum diameter in dorsal or frontal view. The measurements of legs are shown as total length (femur + patella + tibia + metatarsus+ tarsus). The chaetotaxy is given in the following formula: femur IIII 3230 (3 pro-lateral, 2 dorsal, 3 retro-lateral and no ventral spines). All specimens were preserved in 75% ethyl alcohol and examined, drawn and measured under a Tech XTL-II stereomicroscope equipped with an Abbe drawing device. Epigyne were removed and cleared in 10% warm solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH), and transferred to alcohol for drawing. All measurements given are in millimeters. The following abbreviations are used: ALE anterior lateral eye; AME anterior median eye; AME ALE distance between AME and ALE; AME AME distance between AMEs; ALEPLE distance between AME and PLE; PLE posterior lateral eye; PME posterior median eye; PMEPLE distance between PME and PLE; PMEPME distance between PMEs; MOA median ocular area; RTA retrolateral tibial apophysis. Type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University (MHBU), Baoding, China.

Taxonomy
Pseudopoda kunmingensis sp.n. Figs 17.
TYPE MATERIAL. Male holotype, Yunnan Province, Kunming City, Xishan National Forest Park (al. 1967m, 24њ582 N, 102њ372 E), 27 April 2004, Zhisheng Zhang leg.; paratype: 1 , same data as for holotype.

Materials and Methods
Carapace length was measured from the anterior margin to the rear margin of the carapace medially.

ETYMOLOGY. The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective. DIAGNOSIS. This new species is similar to P. daliensis Jдger & Vedel [Jдger & Vedel, 2007: 23, figs
