The new species is similar to Camptoscaphiella panchthar Baehr, 2010, but can be distinguished by the very small dorsal scutum of abdomen (Fig. 1A) vs. about 1/3 of abdomen width (Baehr and Ubick (2010): fig. 291) and the wing-shaped posterior scutal ridge of epigastric region (Fig. 1G) vs. lacking the scutal ridge, having instead a large pear-shaped median plate (Baehr and Ubick (2010): figs. 297, 298).

The specific epithet is derived from Chinese pinyin, “hudie”, which means “butterfly”, referring to the wing-shaped posterior scutal ridge; noun in apposition.

Known only from the type locality.

This new species is similar to Camptoscaphiella yinglefeng sp. nov., but can be distinguished by the dorsal scutum ca. 1/3 of abdomen width (Fig. 5A), vs. 2⁄3 of abdomen width (Fig. 2A), the ventral appendices of bulb shorter than retrolateral fold (Fig. 6E and F), vs. longer than retrolateral fold (Fig. 3F and G) and lacking the ventral process (Fig. 6J and K) of bulb, vs. present (Fig. 3I and J).

Camptoscaphiella hudie sp. nov. (male unknown) and Camptoscaphiella yujufeng sp. nov. (female unknown) were collected from the same locality, Cangshan Mountain. The dorsal abdominal scutum of C. hudie is very small and narrow, quite different from that of C. yujufeng (compare Fig. 1A and Fig. 5A). This suggests that they are most likely different species.
