(Figs 189-195, 540)
Type material: Holotype. ♀, CHINA: Yunnan: Tengchong County: Bawan village, 39-41 km of the road Bawan-Tengchong, N24° 55625', E98° 45155', 2416 m, October 12, 2003, G. Tang (HNU, CASENT9020362).
Paratypes. CHINA: Yunnan: Tengchong County: 1♀, same data as holotype (HNU, CASENT9020362); 1♀, Bawan village, 39-41 km of the road Bawan-Tengchong, N24° 55625', E98° 45155', 2416 m, October 12, 2003, G. Tang (CAS, CASENT9020363).
Etymology: The species name came from Latin “improprius”, which means "improper, unsuitable", and refers to its provisional generic assignment; adjective.
Diagnosis: The female of this new species can be easily distinguished from other Coelotinae by the absence of epigynal teeth, the anteriorly protruding anterior atrial margin, and the round spermathecae (Figs 189-190).
Description: Female (holotype). Large sized Coelotinae, total length 11.8 (Fig. 193). Dorsal shield of prosoma 5.75 long, 3.80 wide; opisthosoma 6.00 long, 4.18 wide. AME smallest, approximately 3/4 the size of ALE; ALE largest; posterior eyes subequal in size, slightly smaller than ALE (AME 0.15, ALE 0.21, PME 0.18, PLE 0.18); anterior eyes equally separated from each other by 2 /3 of AME diameter; PME separated from each other by 2 /3 their diameter, widely separated from PLE by more than their diameter (AME-AME 0.11, AME-ALE 0.09, PME-PME 0.12, PME-PLE 0.22, AME-PME 0.15) (Fig. 194). Chelicera with 3 promarginal and 2 retromarginal teeth. Labium longer than wide (L / W =1.14) (Fig. 195). Epigynum without epigynal teeth; atrium large, situated anteriorly, with anterior margin protruding anteriorly to an anteriorly narrow and posteriorly wide atrium; copulatory ducts small, originated anteriorly; spermathecal heads distinct, arising anteriorly, extending laterally; spermathecae large, round, widely separated by slightly less than their width, stalks slightly extending distally (Figs 189-192).
