Material examined.
♂: China: Yunnan Province: Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture: Lushui County, Pianma Town, Gaoligong Mountain,

, 3133 m, 8.XII.2013, Y. Li and J. Liu.
Diagnosis.
The male has uniquely shaped palps, and can be easily distinguished from all other
Sinocoelotes
gen. n. by the shape of conductor (wave-shaped, broad, and with round-blunt tip in
Sinocoelotes pseudoyunnanensis
, but slenderer and with pointed tip in other species), the longer LTA (about 1/3 length of RTA in
Sinocoelotes pseudoyunnanensis
, less than 1/6 length of RTA in other species), the broader patellar apophysis (the terminal part wider than basal part, and the apex subequal to the width of tibia, the terminal part wider than basal part, but the apex about 1/2 width of tibia in
Sinocoelotes hehuaensis
, the terminal part subequal to, or even slenderer than basal part in other species) (cf. Figs 17

and 7

Description.
Described by
Wang et al. (2009)
.
Comments.
The species shares a combination of somatic morphology characters with
Sinocoelotes hehuaensis
sp. n. and therefore was assigned to
Sinocoelotes
gen. n. The molecular analysis supports this transfer.
Distribution.
China (Yunnan) (Fig. 21).
