Type material. Holotype male, VIETNAM: Vinh Phuc Province, Tam Dao National Park (21º31.56’N, 105º33.15’E), 3 December 2007, Dinh-Sac PHAM leg.

Etymology. The specific epithet is dedicated to Miss SONG Yan-Jing for her kind help to the junior author; noun (name) in apposition.

Diagnosis. The new species is similar to Coelotes suthepicus Dankittipakul, Chami-Kranon & Wang, 2005 in having similar patellar apophysis, cymbial furrow, round median apophysis, broad conductor and short embolus ( Figs 20B, 21A, 22B, 23B), but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characters: 1, the lateral tibial apophysis line-shaped, close to retrolateral tibial apophysis in this new species, but not in C. suthepicus ; 2, the conductor tip reaches the median apophysis proximally in this new species, but far from the median apophysis in C. suthepicus ( Figs 20B, 21A, 22B, 23B).

Description. Male (measurements of the holotype). Total length 11.50. prosoma 6.00 long, 3.70 wide; opisthosoma 5.50 long, 3.50 wide. Eye measurements: AME 0.28; ALE 0.25; PME 0.23; PLE 0.25; AME– AME 0.08; AME–ALE 0.04; ALE–PLE 0; PME–PME 0.15; PME–PLE 0.15. Clypeus height 0.38. Leg formula: IV, I, II, III; leg measurements: I: 21.45 (5.50, 6.75, 5.75, 3.45); II: 19.40 (5.25, 6.00, 5.10, 3.05); III: 18.15 (4.90, 5.50, 5.20, 2.55); IV: 23.65 (6.00, 6.85, 7.30, 3.50). Chelicerae with four promarginal and three retromarginal teeth ( Fig. 21B). Patellar apophysis broad and long ( Figs 21A, 23B); RTA occupying more than half of the tibial length, distinctly extended distally ( Figs 21A, 23B); lateral tibial apophysis broad, lineshaped, close to the RTA ( Figs 21A, 23B); cymbial furrow short, less than half of the cymbial length ( Figs 21A, 23B); conductor short, broad, concave, dorsal apophysis large ( Figs 20B, 21A, 22B, 23B); median apophysis broad, round, spoon-shaped ( Figs 20B, 21A, 22B, 23B); embolus short, filiform, prolateral in origin ( Figs 20B, 22B).

Female. Unknown.
