Etymology: The specific name refers to its similarity to C. yunnanensis.
Diagnosis: The female resembles C. yunnanensis in having a similar vulva but can be distinguished by the anteriorly originating epigynal teeth and small, laterally extending copulatory ducts (Figs 88–89). The male can be recognized by the broad conductor (Figs 90–91).
Description: Male (holotype): Medium sized coelotine, total length 6.70 (Fig. 97). Carapace 3.50 long, 3.20 wide. Abdomen 3.20 long, 2.00 wide. AME smallest, ¾ the size of other eyes which are subequal or with ALE slightly larger (AME 0.16, ALE 0.20, PME 0.18, PLE 0.19); AME separated by half of their diameter, from ALE by 1/3 of AME diameter; PME separated by slightly more than half of their diameter, from PLE by slightly more than PME diameter (AME-AME 0.07, AME-ALE 0.05, PME-PME 0.10, PME-PLE 0.18, AME-PME 0.13) (Fig. 98). Promargin of chelicera with 3 teeth, retromargin 3. Labium slightly wider than long (L/W=0.96) (Fig. 99). Palpal patellar apophysis short, broad, distinctly extending and pointing distally; RTA more than half of tibial length, distinctly extending distally; lateral tibial apophysis broad, distinctly separated from RTA; cymbial furrow short, less than half of cymbial length; conductor short, broad, somewhat twisted, with a dorsal apophysis, a small basal lamella; median apophysis broad, round, spoonshaped; embolus short, filiform, originating prolaterally (Figs 90–91, 94–96).
Female (one of the paratypes measured): Medium sized coelotine, total length 7.70 (Fig. 100). Carapace 3.50 long, 2.20 wide. Abdomen 4.20 long, 2.80 wide. AME smallest, ¾ size of lateral eyes which are subequal; PME slightly larger than AME (AME 0.13, ALE 0.17, PME 0.15, PLE 0.17); anterior eyes equally separated by half of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by 2/3 of their diameter, from PLE by slightly more than PME diameter (AME-AME 0.06, AME-ALE 0.05, PME-PME 0.10, PME-PLE 0.17, AME-PME 0.16) (Fig. 101). Promargin of chelicera with 3 teeth, retromargin 3. Labium slightly longer than wide (L/W=1.05) (Fig. 102). Epigynal teeth short, arise anteriorly at atrium, separated by atrial width; atrium small, with distinct, continuous anterior margin but indistinct lateral margins; copulatory ducts small, slightly extending laterally; spermathecae broad, slightly separated, slightly extending anteriorly; spermathecal heads arising anteriorly from subdistal spermathecae (Figs 88–89, 92–93, 103–108).
Distribution: China (Yunnan) (Fig. 156).
