Type material.

Holotype ♀: China: Yunnan Province: Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture: Xiaguan Town, Hehua Village, Cangshan Mountain, Baolinjing valley, N25°36'27", E100°11'18", 2307 m, 20.XI.2013, Y. Li and J. Liu.

Etymology.

The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective.

Diagnosis.

The female can be easily distinguished from other Sinocoelotes gen. n. species by the long and broad epigynal teeth (subequal to the atrial length), the broad anterior part of spermathecae (occupying 1/4 of epigyne plate square, and about five times of the posterior part of spermathecae in this species, but occupying less than 1/5 epigyne plate square in other species), anterior part of spermathecae touching each other (only part of SA touching each other in Sinocoelotes hehuaensis sp. n. and Sinocoelotes mangbangensis sp. n.; part of SP touching each other in Sinocoelotes luoshuiensis sp. n. and Sinocoelotes pseudoterrestris comb. n.; separated from each other in other species), and the short, laterally located spermathecal heads (laterally located but long in Sinocoelotes acicularis comb. n., Sinocoelotes kangdingensis sp. n. and Sinocoelotes mahuanggouensis sp. n.; medially located in other species) (Fig. 4 A–B).

Description.

Female. Total length 9.82. Carapace 4.50 long, 3.04 wide. Abdomen 5.32 long, 3.76 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.16, ALE 0.22, PME 0.18, PLE 0.21; AME-AME 0.08, AME-ALE 0.04, PME-PME 0.13, PME-PLE 0.22. Leg measurements: I 11.50 (3.35, 3.45, 2.75, 1.95); II 12.24 (3.20, 4.16, 3.12, 1.76); III 10.84 (2.88 3.28, 2.88, 1.80); IV 14.57 (3.92, 4.10, 4.23, 2.32). Chelicerae with four retromarginal teeth. Epigyne: atrium small, occupying 1/6 of epigynal plate square, narrowing at the middle part; teeth long, broad, located anteriorly, close to atrial anterior margin, and their length subequal to atrial length, width subequal to atrium width; spermathecae contiguous with each other, anterior part of spermathecae broad; posterior part of spermathecae about four times thinner than the anterior part; spermathecal heads small, located laterally; copulatory openings hidden in anterior part of atrium; copulatory ducts membranous, anterior parts separated from each other by 0.3 length, posterior part separated by approximately 1.5 times length, copulatory duct first goes anteriorly, and then posteriorly (Fig. 4 A–B).
