Sinocoelotes thailandensis (Dankittipakul & Wang, 2003) View in CoL comb. n. Figs 18, 19, 21

Coelotes thailandensis Dankittipakul and Wang 2003: 735, figs 24-25 (♂ holotype from Thailand, in MHNG, not examined); Dankittipakul et al. 2005: 7, figs 9-10 (♂♀); Wang et al. 2009: 26, f. 128-142 (♂♀).

Material examined.

1♂2♀: Thailand: Chiangmai Province: Mae Cham District, Jeep tract, N18°31'41", E98°29'58", 1649 m, 14.X.2014, H. Zhao, Y. Li and Z. Chen.

Diagnosis.

The species is similar to Sinocoelotes hehuaensis sp. n., but male can be easily distinguished by a shorter and broader conductor (about 1/3 length of the conductor in Sinocoelotes hehuaensis sp. n.), the broad and wedge-shaped dorsal conductor apophysis (cf. Figs 18 A–C and 7 A–C). The female can be distinguished from that of Sinocoelotes hehuaensis sp. n. by the broad (almost round) atrium, the broader and shorter copulatory ducts, the shorter spermathecal heads (about 1/3 length of the spermathecal heads Sinocoelotes hehuaensis sp. n.) (cf. Figs 19 A–B and 8 A–B).

Description.

Described by Wang et al. (2009).

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 this transfer.
