Etymology: The specific name refers to its similarity to D. spiralis, name in apposition.
Diagnosis: This new species is similar to D. spiralis sp. nov. and D. paraspiralis sp. nov. in having coiled spermathecal tubes, a large atrium, the absence of epigynal teeth, a distally coiled conductor, and a simple median apophysis, but can be distinguished by the distally broad conductor and the proximally originating embolus in the male, and by the anterior atrial margin that extends posteriorly to at least half of the atrial length and the broad copulatory ducts in the female (Figs 428-431).
Description: Male (holotype). Large sized Coelotinae (Fig. 444). Total length 10.2. Dorsal shield of prosoma 5.00 long, 3.14 wide; opisthosoma 5.20 long, 3.60 wide. AME smallest, 2 /3 size of ALE; ALE largest; PLE slightly smaller than ALE, PME slightly smaller than PLE (AME 0.20, ALE 0.28, PME 0.24, PLE 0.26); anterior eyes equally separated by half of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by slightly more than half of PME diameter, from PLE by 4 / 5 of PME diameter (AME-AME 0.10, AME-ALE 0.09, PME-PME 0.13, PME-PLE 0.20, AME-PME 0.15) (Fig. 445). Labium slightly longer than wide (L / W =1.09) (Fig. 446). Promargin of chelicera with 3, retromargin with 2 teeth. Palpal patellar apophysis tiny, barely visible; RTA approximately half of tibial length or slightly longer; lateral tibial apophysis present; cymbial furrow less than half of cymbial length; conductor broad, with a distinctly coiled apex, a well developed basal lamella, and a slender dorsal apophysis; median apophysis simple, not spoon-shaped; embolus filiform, long, proximal in origin, arising at 6- o‘clock-position, running half an oval, extending posteriorly to distal part of tibia and anteriorly coiling beyond distal part of bulb (Figs 430-431, 434-436).
Female (paratype measured). Large sized Coelotinae, total length 10.8 (Fig. 441). Dorsal shield of prosoma 5.20 long, 3.80 wide; opisthosoma 5.60 long, 4.00 wide. AME smallest, 4 / 5 size of ALE; ALE largest; posterior eyes subequal in size, slightly smaller than ALE (AME 0.19, ALE 0.25, PME 0.23, PLE 0.24); AME separated from each other by 3/4 of their diameter, from ALE by half of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by half of their diameter, widely separated from PLE by slightly more than PME diameter (AME-AME 0.15, AME-ALE 0.09, PME-PME 0.12, PME-PLE 0.28, AME-PME 0.20) (Fig. 442). Labium slightly longer than wide (L / W =1.06) (Fig. 443). Promargin of chelicera with 3, retromargin with 2 teeth. Epigynal teeth absent; atrium large, but shallow, with anterior margin extending posteriorly to a septum that extends half or more than half of atrial length; copulatory ducts large, originating anteriorly, extending posteriorly and then curving back anteriorly; spermathecae with bases widely separated by more than two times their width, stalks long, anteriorly extending and slightly converging; spermathecal heads arising distally (Figs 428-429, 432-433, 437-440).
Distribution: China (Yunnan: Tengchong, Longling, Longyang, Luxi) (Fig. 548).
