Holotype ♂ (HNU–GZ– IV–1407), CHINA, Guizhou Prov.: Maoxi, Wuluo Town, Fanjingshan NNR, 28.02256°N, 108.77995°E, 1277 m, 31.VII.2014, X.J. Peng et al. leg. Paratypes: 1♂ 6♀, with same data as for holotype (HNU–GZ– IV–1407); 1♂, Taiping Town, Machahe River, Fanjingshan NNR, 27.88313°N, 108.78521°E, 597 m, 01.VIII.2014, X.J. Peng et al. leg.

The specific epithet is derived from the Latin adjective “absidatus” meaning “arched” and referring to the arch-shaped tibial apophysis in male palp.</p><p>Diagnosis. Gonatium absidatum sp. n. resembles G. japonicum in having the similar hook-shaped paracymbium, long tibial apophysis extending above the apex of cymbium and the femur of tibia I & II with a row of stout ventral bristlesin male palp, the copulatory opening present anteriorly in epigyne,, with long internal copulatory ducts (Figs 80A–D, 81A–D, 82A–D; Millidge 1981, fig. 72, Oi 1960, figs 71, 72; Wang et al. 2015, figs 2i, 3i), but can be distinguished by retrograde basal tibial apophysis bifurcated and with 2 teeth at the base on the lateral margin of apophysis in dorsal view in G. absidatum sp. n. (Figs 80B, 81E; vs. not bifurcated and with 1 tooth); ectal part of spermathecae globular in G. absidatum sp. n. (Fig. 82D; vs. elliptical).</p><p>Description.
