Type material.

Holotype ♂: China: Hubei: Enshi Prefecture: Hefeng County: Guanyinping, Guanyin Cave, N29.93238°, E110.05344°, 758 m, 11.I.2014, Y. Li and J. Liu leg. Paratypes: 3♀2♂, same data as holotype.

Etymology.

The specific name is derived from the type locality; adjective.

Diagnosis.

The male can be distinguished from Papiliocoelotes yezhouensis sp. n. by the large tegular apophysis that is longer than the length of the cymbial furrow, the lack of a patel lar condyle, the fin-shaped conductor and the dorsally extending patellar apophysis (Fig. 3 A–C). The female can be distinguished from Papiliocoelotes yezhouensis sp. n. by the distinct copulatory openings and the epigynal hoods which are located posterolaterally (Fig. 4 A–B).
