Sinocoelotes pseudoyunnanensis (Wang, Griswold & Ubick, 2009) comb. n. Figs 17, 21

Coelotes pseudoyunnanensis Wang et al. 2009: 19, figs 88-96 (♂ holotype and ♂♀ paratypes from Nujiang, Yunnan, China, in HNU and CAS, not examined).

Material examined.

♂: China: Yunnan Province: Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture: Lushui County, Pianma Town, Gaoligong Mountain, N25°58'22", E98°41'02", 3133 m, 8.XII.2013, Y. Li and J. Liu.

Diagnosis.

The male has uniquely shaped palps, and can be easily distinguished from all other Sinocoelotes gen. n. by the shape of conductor (wave-shaped, broad, and with round-blunt tip in Sinocoelotes pseudoyunnanensis , but slenderer and with pointed tip in other species), the longer LTA (about 1/3 length of RTA in Sinocoelotes pseudoyunnanensis , less than 1/6 length of RTA in other species), the broader patellar apophysis (the terminal part wider than basal part, and the apex subequal to the width of tibia, the terminal part wider than basal part, but the apex about 1/2 width of tibia in Sinocoelotes hehuaensis , the terminal part subequal to, or even slenderer than basal part in other species) (cf. Figs 17 A–C and 7 A–C, 10 A–C, 20 A–C).

Description.

Described by Wang et al. (2009).

Comments.

The species shares a combination of somatic morphology characters with Sinocoelotes hehuaensis sp. n. and therefore was assigned to Sinocoelotes gen. n. The molecular analysis supports this transfer.

Distribution.

China (Yunnan) (Fig. 21).
