Coelotes bucharensis: Ovchinnikov, 1988: 141 .

DIAGNOSIS: This species is similar to C. juglandicola , but females can be distinguished by the closely situated epigynal teeth and the broad, anteriorly situated spermathecal heads (figs. 113, 114), males by the different shape of conductor and the small median apophysis (figs. 115–117).

DESCRIPTION: See also Spassky (1939). From front, anterior eye row slightly procurved, posterior row also slightly procurved; eye sizes and arrangements: ALE largest, AME, PLE, and PME subequal or PME slightly smaller; AME­AME about twothirds AME diameter, AME­ALE and ALE­ PLE close together, PLE­PME subequal to PME­PME. Clypeal height roughly 1.5 times AME diameter; chilum divided, elongated (fig. 120). Chelicerae with five promarginal and five retromarginal teeth (fig. 119). La­ bium shorter than wide. Length of female 1st leg patella + tibia longer than carapace length.

Tarsal organ situated close to distal end of tarsus, slightly anterior of distalmost trichobothrium (figs. 121–123). Female spinnerets with apex of ALS with 2 major ampullate gland spigots (MAP), 13 piriform gland spigots (PI); PMS with roughly 27 aciniform gland spigots, 2 cylindrical gland spigots (CY), 1 reduced ampullate gland spigot (mAP); PLE with 34 aciniform gland spigots and 2 cylindrical gland spigots (figs. 124– 126).

Epigynum with epigynal teeth large, situated anterad of atrium, close together; atrium reduced; copulatory ducts short, situated mesad of spermathecae; spermathecal heads large, anteriorly situated; spermathecae broad, with stalks and bases indistinct (figs. 113, 114). Male palpal patellar apophysis broad, strongly modified into deep concavity and apophyses on inner side; RTA long, with distal end strongly extend beyond tibia; lateral tibial apophysis reduced; cymbial furrow short; conductor short; conductor dorsal apophysis broad; embolus prolateral in origin, moderately long, linear; median apophysis small, situated relatively posteriorly (figs. 115–117).
