title: Revision of the coelotine spider genus Himalcoelotes Wang, 2002 (Araneae: Amaurobiidae) from Tibet, China.
abstract: Four species of the coelotine spider genus Himalcoelotes Wang, 2002 endemic to the Himalayas were studied: H. gyirongensis ( Hu and Li, 1987 ); H. tortuous sp. nov.; H. xizangensis ( Hu, 1992 ); and H. zhamensis sp. nov. The male of H. xizangensis is here described for the first time. A key to all 13 Himalcoelotes species is given. Twelve Himalcoelotes species are divided into two species groups. The species-group placement of H. aequoreus Wang, 2002 is uncertain.
