Type species Coelotes impletus Peng & Wang, 1997, from Hunan, China. Diagnosis. Male palp with two conductor apophyses (anterior conductor apophysis and posterior conductor apophysis) (Fig. 1B); only one conductor apophysis in other similar genera. There are two patellar apophyses (one or both of them are highly reduced in size in some species) in Platocoelotes species; other coelotines usually have only one. The female can be distinguished from other coelotines by the large epigynal atrium, the absence of epigynal teeth, simple spermathecae and indistinct copulatory ducts (Fig. 2 A-B ). Figure 1. Platocoelotes luoi sp. n., holotype male. A Left palp, prolateral view B Left palp, ventral view C Left palp, retrolateral view. ACA = anterior conductor apophysis; CDA = dorsal conductor apophysis; CF = cymbial furrow; LTA = dorso-retrolateral tibial apophysis; OC = outgrowth in anterior conductor apophysis; PCA = posterior conductor apophysis; RTA = retrolateral tibial apophysis; VPA = ventral patellar apophysis. Scale bar: Equal for A, B, C. Figure 2. Platocoelotes luoi sp. n., one paratype female. A Epigyne, ventral view B Vulva, dorsal view C Male habitus, dorsal view. D Female habitus, dorsal view E Female habitus, ventral view. A = epigynal atrium; FD = fertilization duct; S = spermathecae; SH = spermathecal head. Scale bars: Equal for A, B, equal for C, D, E.
