Coelotes yunnanensis Schenkel 1963: 289 , fig. 162 (female holotype, in MNHN, examined). – Wang, 2002: 50.

Material examined: Holotype. CHINA: Yunnan: Ƥ, November 26, 1925 ( MNHN).

Diagnosis: The female resembles C. pseudoyunnanensis sp. nov. in having a similar vulva, but can be distinguished by the epigynal teeth originating posterior to anterior atrial margin, and large, anteriorly extending copulatory ducts ( Figs 143–144 ).

Description: Female (holotype): Medium sized coelotine. Body and eyes not measured (specimen examined 14 years ago). AME smallest, other eyes subequal in size ( Fig. 145 ). Chelicerae with 3 promarginal and 4 or 5 retromarginal teeth ( Fig. 146 ). Epigynal teeth long, arise slightly posterior to anterior atrial margin, widely separated by more than atrial width; atrium small, with distinct, continuous anterior margin but indistinct lateral margins; copulatory ducts large, extending anteriorly; spermathecae broad, closely set, slightly extending anteriorly; spermathecal heads long, arising distally and extending laterally ( Figs 143– 144 ).

Male: Unknown.
