Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective.

Diagnosis. This new species is similar to C. kailiensis Li , sp. nov. ( Figs 73–77 View Figure 73 View Figure 74 View Figure 75 View Figure 76 View Figure 77 ), but can be distinguished by the large and inverted “U”-shaped atrium (“M”-shaped in C. kailiensis Li , sp. nov.), the ovate spermathecae (spheriform in C. kailiensis Li , sp. nov.), and the extended part of copulatory duct obviously swollen (spherical in C. kailiensis Li , sp. nov.).

Fovea reduced, cervical groove indistinct. Eight eyes, AME black, others white, all eyes encircled with black. Eye diameters: AME 0.03, ALE 0.05, PLE 0.06, PME 0.04. Eye interdistances: ALE-PLE 0.01, AME-ALE 0.02, AME-AME 0.02, PLE-PME 0.04, PME-PME 0.07. Eye region length 0.12, width 0.27. Clypeus height 0.07. Chelicerae yellow-brown, 0.40 long, 0.24 wide, with distinct lateral condyles, 3 (3 large) promarginal and 7 retromarginal teeth. Labium yellow, 0.12 long, 0.19 wide.

Leg measurements: I 2.76 (0.83, 0.35, 0.65, 0.55, 0.38); II 2.63 (0.75, 0.33, 0.60, 0.55, 0.40); III 2.29 (0.65, 0.28, 0.48, 0.53, 0.35); IV 3.11 (0.85, 0.35, 0.75, 0.73, 0.43). Opisthosoma 1.10 long, 0.80 wide. No calamistrum and no cribellum.

Epigynum ( Figs 67 View Figure 67 , 68A–B View Figure 68 ). Width 0.26. Epigynum with large atrium, inverted “U”-shaped. Bursae enlarged, slightly sclerotized, fused. Spermathecae ovate. Second pore large, at apex of copulatory ducts, laterally extended part of copulatory duct swollen. Fertilization duct long, medially attached at base of spermathecae.

Male. Unknown.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality ( Fig. 97 View Figure 97 ).
