Type material.
Holotype ♀: China: Sichuan Province: Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture: Kangding County, foothills of Paoma Mountain, N30°02'50", E101°58'08", 2900 m, 12.X.2005, X. Zhang and X. Xu.
Etymology.
The specific name refers to the type locality; adjective.
Diagnosis.
The female is similar to that of Sinocoelotes cangshanensis sp. n., but can be distinguished from it by the slenderer epigynal teeth (about 1/2 width of Sinocoelotes cangshanensis sp. n.), the broader SA, the thinner PA, the ratio between two parts of spermathecae (the PA subequal to the SA in Sinocoelotes kangdingensis sp. n., but PA just about 1/4 of the SA in Sinocoelotes cangshanensis sp. n.) (cf. Figs 9 A–B and 2 A–B), the well sclerotized copulatory ducts (Fig. 9 A–B).
Description.
Female. Total length 8.20. Carapace 3.80 long, 2.65 wide. Abdomen 4.40 long, 2.95 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.14, ALE 0.20, PME 0.15, PLE 0.19; AME-AME 0.10, AME-ALE 0.05, PME-PME 0.11, PME-PLE 0.17. Leg measurements: I 9.72 (2.72, 3.28, 2.28, 1.44); II 8.69 (2.50, 2.81, 2.13, 1.25); III 8.06 (2.25, 2.59, 2.07, 1.15); IV 10.76 (2.96, 3.52, 2.96, 1.32). Chelicerae with three retromarginal teeth. Epigyne: atrium small, almost rectanguala, posterior part slightly wider than anterior part, about 1/3 width and 1/2 length of epigyne, and it occupying about 1/5 of epigyne plate square; teeth broad, long, subequal to the length of atrium, located anteriorly; spermathecae separated from each other, anterior part by spermathecal width, and posterior part by 1/4 spermathecal width, posterior part subequal to the anterior part; spermathecal heads broad, short, located laterally; copulatory ducts short, slightly sclerotized, semitransparent, terminal parts leading to copulatory opening almost reduced (Fig. 9 A–B).
