Sinocoelotes guangxian (Zhang, Yang, Zhu & Song, 2003) comb. n. Figs 6, 21

Coelotes guangxian Zhang et al. 2003: 79, figs 1-5 (♂ holotype and ♂♀ paratypes from Dali, Yunnan, China, in MHBU, not examined).

Material examined.

1♀: China: Yunnan Province: Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture: Xiaguan Town, the south shore of Erhai Lake, Tuanshan Park, N25°36'27", E100°14'39", 1992 m, 19.XI.2013, Y. Li and J. Liu.

Diagnosis.

The female can be easily distinguished from all other Sinocoelotes gen. n. species by the broad atrium, the long, with blunt tip and anteriorly situated epigynal teeth (long, anteriorly situated, but with pointed tip in Sinocoelotes kangdingensis sp. n., Sinocoelotes ludingensis sp. n. and Sinocoelotes luoshuiensis sp. n.; long, with blunt tip, but not anteriorly located in Sinocoelotes acicularis comb. n. and Sinocoelotes cangshanensis sp. n.; short, less than 1/2 length of Sinocoelotes guangxian comb. n. in other species), the short spermathecae (anterior part is smaller than posterior part), and the broad copulatory ducts (occupying 1/2 of epigynal plate) (Fig. 6 A–B).

Description.

See Zhang et al. (2003).

Comments.

The species shares a combination of somatic morphology characters with Sinocoelotes hehuaensis sp. n., and therefore was assigned to Sinocoelotes gen. n. The molecular analysis supports the transfer.
