A coelotine species, Femoracoelotes platnicki, previously known only from Taiwan, is newly recorded from Iriomote Island, southwest Japan. The genus Femoracoelotes is characterized by the presence of a palpal femoral apophysis, the absence of a median apophysis, the absence of epigynal teeth, and broad, saclike copulatory ducts connected or overlapped medially. The morphology of F. platnicki specimens collected from Taiwan, including the type specimens are reassessed. Morphological data including variation in male palpal morphology, coloration and markings are provided on the basis of fresh specimens from Iriomote Island.
