Peng ( CAS, CASENT9020573 ) ; 1♀, Gaoligongshan, 4 km W of Shibali Forest Station , N27.17746°, E98.75527°, 2820 m, night collecting along roadcut, May 3, 2004, C. Griswold & D.

Etymology: The species name is derived from the Latin words “latus” and “cavus”, meaning "broad, wide" and “cavity” separately, and refers to the large, distinct atrial opening; term in apposition.

Diagnosis: The female of this new species is similar to D. tibetensis Wang 2003 in having a similar atrium and similar spermathecal tubes, but the epigynal teeth of this new species arise at level anterior to epigynal hoods and distinctly separated from anterior atrial margin (Figs 240-241), while in D. tibetensis the epigynal teeth arise at level posterior to epigynal hoods and close to anterior atrial margin.

Description: Female (holotype). Large sized Coelotinae , total length 12.3 (Fig. 246). Dorsal shield of prosoma 6.16 long, 4.24 wide; opisthosoma 6.10 long, 3.92 wide. Eyes subequal in size, with PME slightly smaller ( AME 0.22, ALE 0.21, PME 0.18, PLE 0.22); anterior eyes equally separated by half of their size; PME separated from each other by about their diameter, widely separated from PLE by 1.5 times PME diameter (AME-AME 0.10, AME-ALE 0.09, PME-PME 0.20, PME-PLE 0.30, AME-PME 0.25) (Fig. 247). Labium slightly longer than wide ( L / W =1.09) (Fig. 248). Chelicera with 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth. Epigynal teeth short, arising anteriorly at level anterior to epigynal hoods, distinctly separated from anterior atrial margin; atrium large, but shallow, with distinct, continuous anterior margin, but indistinct lateral margins; atrial ridges indistinct; copulatory ducts small, originating and extending medially between spermathecae; spermathecae with bases widely separated by at least their width, stalks extending anteriorly beyond their heads; spermathecal heads distinct, arising from middle part of spermathecae (Figs 240-246). Male. Unknown.

Distribution: China (Yunnan: Fugong) (Fig. 541).
