Figs 17–29, 44
Coelotes palinitropus Zhu and Wang 1994: 42, figs 19–21 (holotype male, 1 male paratype from Jianfengling, Hainan, China, in NBUMS, not examined). — Song et al. 1999: 377, figs 220O, 224C; Xu and Li 2006a: 337, figs 8–13, 35– 37.
Material examined: 6 females, 2 males: China, Hainan, Jianfengling Nature Reserve, N18.7º, E108.8º, December 14, 1989 (IZCAS); 1 female: China, Hainan, Wuzhishan Mt., N18.8º, E109.5º, April 16, 2005, Y.J. Song leg. (IZCAS); 1 female: Hainan, Diaoluoshan Nature Reserve, N18.7º, E109.8º, April 19, 2005, Y.J.
Song leg. (IZCAS); 1 female: China, Hainan, Baoting County, Maogan Xiang, Xian An, Shilin cave, N18.7º, E109.8º, March 2005, Y.F. Tong leg. (IZCAS).
Diagnosis: Females of N. palinitropus can be easily distinguished by the elongated atrium which is 4–5 times longer than wide (Figs 17, 23, 25). Males can be easily distinguished from N. vietnamensis sp. nov. by the reduced median apophysis (large in N. vietnamensis), and from N. sparus by the semi-circular conductor (proximally extended and only slightly coiled in N. sparsus) (Figs 19–22).
Description: Females: Described by Xu and Li (2006a). Medium sized coelotine, total length 8.26–9.40. One female from Hainan, Jianfengling Nature Reserve: Total length 8.26. Dorsal shield of prosoma 3.91 long, 2.61 wide; opisthosoma 4.35 long, 3.04 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME smallest, slightly more than half the size of other eyes which are subequal (AME 0.09, ALE 0.15, PLE 0.15, PME 0.14); AME separated by approximately their diameter; AME and ALE slightly separated, other eyes distinctly separated (ALE–PLE 0.06, PME–PME 0.09, PME–PLE 0.12, AME–PME 0.12) (Fig. 26). Chelicerae with 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth. Legs normal length (I 11.30; II 9.45; III 7.60; IV 12.28) (1st leg/dorsal shield of prosoma = 2.90). Epigynum without teeth; atrium strongly elongated, with length 4–5 times longer than width; posterior margin of atrium with a tongue-shaped, posteriorly directed atrial scape; copulatory ducts large, anteriorly originated, posteriorly folded, covering anterior part of spermathecae; spermathecal bases broad, widely separated by copulatory ducts; spermathecal heads covered by copulatory ducts (Figs 17–18, 23–25).
Males: Described by Zhu and Wang (1994). Medium sized coelotine, total length 6.70–7.70. Eyes and chelicerae similar to female. Palpus without patellar apophysis; RTA small; lateral tibial apophysis strongly bifurcated; cymbial furrow about half of cymbial length or slightly longer; conductor long, extending proximally, coiling and forming a semi-circular shape; conductor dorsal apophysis absent; conductor lamella large; median apophysis reduced; embolus filiform, proximal in origin, with narrow base (Figs 19–22).
Distribution: China (Hainan) (Fig. 44).
