Etymology.

The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective.

Diagnosis.

The female can be distinguished from Flexicoelotes jiaohanyanensis sp. n. by the short epigynal teeth (1/2 of atrial height, whereas they are almost subequal to atrial height in related species) and the broad, short and opaque copulatory ducts (Fig. 1 A–B).

Description.

Female (holotype): Total length 6.01. Carapace 3.20 long, 2.17 wide. Abdomen 2.81 long, 1.80 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.09, ALE 0.17, PME 0.11, PLE 0.15; AME-AME 0.05, AME-ALE 0.03, PME-PME 0.08, PME-PLE 0.08. Leg measurements: I: 11.73 (3.09, 4.00, 2.80 1.84); II: 10.89 (2.94, 3.60, 2.66, 1.69); III: 10.04 (2.72, 3.20, 2.64, 1.48); IV: 12.90 (3.40, 4.05, 3.65, 1.80). Epigyne: atrium large, occupying 2/3 of epigynal plate; teeth long, located in atrial anterior margin, about 1/2 of atrial height and separated by their length; hoods absent; spermathecae simple, located in posterior part of epigyne; copulatory ducts broad, occupying 3/4 of epigynal plate, covering most of the spermathecae (Fig. 1 A–B).
