Sinocoelotes pseudoterrestris (Schenkel, 1963) View in CoL comb. n. Figs 16, 21

Coelotes pseudoterrestris Schenkel 1963: 286, fig. 161 (♀ holotype from Lo Thoei Tong, Yunnan, China, in MNHP, not examined); Song et al. 1999: 378, figs 224N, 224O, 226T, 228B (♂♀, as Coelotes sacratus ); Wang 2002: 52, figs 127-131 (♂♀); Wang and Jäger 2008: 2279, figs 1-2 (♂).

Material examined.

♀: China: Yunnan Province: Kunming City; Xishan Forest Park, the way to Longmen, in crevices on crags, N24°57'04", E102°38'18", 2437 m, 22.XII.2013, Y. Li and J. Liu.

Diagnosis.

The female is similar to that of Sinocoelotes mangbangensis sp. n., but can be easily distinguished from it by the longer epigynal teeth (twice as long as in Sinocoelotes mangbangensis sp. n.), the smaller posterior part of spermathecae which is about 1/4 of the anterior part (the posterior part is subequal to the anterior part in Sinocoelotes mangbangensis sp. n.), the laterally situated spermathecal heads (ventrally situated in Sinocoelotes mangbangensis sp. n.), and the membranous copulatory ducts (strongly sclerotized in Sinocoelotes mangbangensis sp. n.) (cf. Figs 16 A–B and 14 A–B).

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 the transfer.
