Etymology
Etymology: The specific name refers to the coiled conductor apex and spermathecal tubes; adjective. Diagnosis: This species is similar to C. pseudospiralis sp. nov. and C. paraspiralis sp. nov. The female can be distinguished from C. pseudospiralis by the slightly protruding anterior atrial margin and from C. paraspiralis sp. nov. by the presence of broad diverticula on the anterior spermathecae and the less coiled spermathecae; the male by the long cymbial furrow, which is almost as long as the cymbium, the slender conductor apex, and the extremely long, slender embolus (Figs 481-484).
Description
Description: Male (holotype). Medium sized Coelotinae, total length 8.40. Dorsal shield of prosoma 4.00 long, 3.00 wide, opisthosoma 4.40 long, 3.00 wide. AME smallest, about 3/4 of the other eyes, which are about equal in size (AME 0.14, ALE 0.23, PME 0.20, PLE 0.20); AME separated from each other by half of their diameter, from PLE by about 1/3 of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by slightly less than their diameter, from PLE by about 3/4 of PME diameter (AME-AME 0.07, AME-ALE 0.04, AME-PME 0.14, PME-PME 0.08, PME-PLE 0.15). Promargin of chelicera with 3, retromargin with 2 teeth. Palp with a tiny patellar apophysis; RTA slightly longer than half of tibial length, with broad, distinctly protruding distal end; lateral tibial apophysis large; cymbial furrow long, almost reaching distal cymbium; conductor broad, long, with a coiled, slender apex, a large basal lamella, and a slender dorsal apophysis; median apophysis simple, not spoon-shaped; embolus filiform, long, proximal in origin, arising at 6- o'clock-position, running half an oval, extending posteriorly to patella, and coiling anteriorly beyond distal part of bulb; embolus with a small base (Figs 483-484). Female (paratype). Large sized Coelotinae, total length 11.4. Dorsal shield of prosoma 5.60 long, 3.50 wide, opisthosoma 5.80 long, 4.20 wide. AME smallest, 3/5 size of lateral eyes, which are subequal and the largest; PME slightly smaller than lateral eyes (AME 0.15, ALE 0.25, PME 0.21, PLE 0.26); AME separated from each other by slightly less than AME diameter, from ALE by half of AME diameter; PME separated from each other and from PLE by approximately AME diameter (AME-AME 0.13, AME-ALE 0.07, AME-PME 0.20, PME-PME 0.22, PME-PLE 0.20). Promargin of chelicera with 3, retromargin with 2 teeth. Epigynal teeth absent; atrium large, but shallow, with anterior margin extending posteriorly to less than half of atrial length; lateral atrial margins distinct, extending posteriorly and reaching epigastric furrow; copulatory ducts large, originating and extending medially; spermathecae with bases widely separated, stalks long, anteriorly extending and converging, then curved posteriorly and formed ring-shaped vulva; anterior portion of spermathecae slightly expanded to broad diverticula; spermathecal heads distinct, arising distally from posterior part of epigynum (Figs 481-482).
