Type material.

Holotype ♂: China: Sichuan Province: Yanyuan County, foot of Bailing Mountain, in the apple garden, N27°24'03", E101°31'47", 2620 m, 15.XI.2013, Y. Li and J. Liu. Paratype: 1 ♂, same data as holotype.

Etymology.

The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective.

Diagnosis.

The male of the new species has uniquely shaped palps, and can be easily recognized from all other Sinocoelotes gen. n. by the clavate patellar apophysis, and the basal part broader than terminal part (bended and 1.5 times as width as Sinocoelotes yanyuanensis sp. n. in Sinocoelotes thailandensis , basal part equal to or even slenderer than terminal part in other species), the broader and bended conductor in ventral view (wave-shaped in Sinocoelotes pseudoyunnanensis , straight in other species), short cymbial tip about 1/4 length of cymbium (about 1/3 length of cymbium in other species), the smaller visible part of dorsal conductor apophysis (quite distinct in other species) (cf. Figs 20 A–C and 7 A–C, 10 A–C, 17 A–C).

Description.

Male (holotype): Total length 8.55. Carapace 4.35 long, 2.91 wide. Abdomen 4.20 long, 2.50 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.13, ALE 0.19, PME 0.16, PLE 0.13; AME-AME 0.08, AME-ALE 0.04, PME-PME 0.11, PME-PLE 0.19. Leg measurements: I 12.43 (3.40, 4.00, 3.08, 1.95); II 10.80 (2.95, 3.45, 2.65, 1.75); III 10.04 (2.80, 3.16, 2.68, 1.40); IV 13.35 (3.60, 4.25, 3.80, 1.70). Chelicerae with three promarginal and four retromarginal teeth. Palp: patellar apophysis long, subequal to the length of patella, basal part broader than terminal part; LTA short, about1/6 length of RTA; cymbial furrow short, about 1/4 length of cymbium; conductor broader and long, about 1/3 length of cymbium; dorsal conductor apophysis broad, covered mostly by the tegulum and the base of conductor; embolus beginning at 7 o’clock position (Fig. 20 A–C).
