Figs 80–84, 87

Type material. Holotype male, 10 male and 6 female paratypes, VIETNAM: Ninh Binh Province, Cuc Phuong National Park (20º21.44’N, 105º34.21’E), March 2007 to March 2008, Dinh-Sac PHAM leg.

Etymology. The specific name refers to its similarity to Notiocoelotes vietnamensis Wang, Xu & Li, 2008 .

Diagnosis. The new species is similar to N. vietnamensis Wang, Xu & Li, 2008 in having the large lateral tibial apophysis, the long cymbial furrow, the long, coiled and semi-circular conductor in male ( Figs 80B, 81A, 82B, 83B), in having similar atrium and rounded spermathecae in female ( Figs 81B–C, 84B–D). But can be distinguished from the latter by the absence of an indentation on the distal conductor, the absence of median apophysis, the triangle-shaped embolic base in male ( Figs 80B, 81A, 82B, 83B), by the small triangleshaped atrium, and the different shape of copulatory ducts in female ( Figs 81B–C, 84B–D).

Description. Male. Total length 3.50–4.00. Holotype total length 3.75, prosoma 1.85 long, 1.35 wide; opisthosoma 1.90 long, 1.30 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.04; ALE 0.11; PME 0.11; PLE 0.11; AME– AME 0; AME–ALE 0; ALE–PLE 0; PME–PME 0.03; PME–PLE 0.01. Eyes pale, AME slightly reduced, the tubercles of eyes not reduced. Clypeus height 0.10. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I: 7.20 (1.90, 2.40, 1.75, 1.15); II: 6.05 (1.70, 1.90, 1.45, 1.00); III: 5.70 (1.55, 1.70, 1.50, 0.95); IV: 7.80 (2.00, 2.45, 2.25, 1.10). Chelicerae with three promarginal and two retromarginal teeth ( Fig. 80C). Patellar apophysis absent ( Figs 80B, 83B); RTA occupying most of tibial length ( Figs 80B, 83B); lateral tibial apophysis large, strongly bifurcated ( Figs 80B, 83B); cymbial furrow long, slightly more than half of cymbial length ( Figs 80B, 83B); conductor long, extending proximally, coiling, semi-circular, conductor dorsal apophysis absent ( Figs 80B, 81A, 82B, 83B); conductor lamella large ( Figs 81A, 82B); median apophysis absent ( Figs 80B, 81A, 82B, 83B); embolic base large, almost triangular ( Figs 81A, 82B); embolus filiform, originating proximally ( Figs 81A, 82B).

Female. Total length 3.75–4.50. One of paratype total length 4.00, prosoma 1.75 long, 1.35 wide; opisthosoma 2.25 long, 1.50 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.04; ALE 0.10; PME 0.10; PLE 0.10; AME–AME 0; AME–ALE 0; ALE–PLE 0; PME–PME 0.04; PME–PLE 0.01. Eyes white, AME slightly reduced, the tubercles of eyes slightly reduced. Clypeus height 0.10. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I: 5.30 (1.50, 1.75, 1.20, 0.85); II: 4.50 (1.25, 1.50, 1.05, 0.70); III: 4.40 (1.30, 1.35, 1.10, 0.65); IV: 5.95 (1.55, 2.00, 1.60, 0.80). Chelicerae with three promarginal and two retromarginal teeth. Epigynal teeth absent ( Figs 81B, 84B); atrium small, triangular, with a tongue-shaped posterior extension ( Figs 81B, 84B); copulatory ducts broad, bilobate, covering the whole spemathecal stalks and heads ( Figs 81C, 84C–D); spermathecae small, rounded, widely separated, with distal parts covered by copulatory ducts ( Figs 81C, 84C–D); spermathecal heads small, extended anteriorly, with distinct stalks ( Figs 81C, 84C–D).

Habitat preferences. These specimens were collected by pitfall traps, this species may live on the forest floor or in leaf litter.
