Type material. Female holotype (MNHN), Laos, Houaphan Prov., Muong You (L 16), Vitalis de Salvaza leg. 17.XI.-8.XII.1918, PJ 2343 .

Etymology. The species is named according to its type locality, Houaphan Province; noun in apposition.

Diagnosis. Female similar to that of P. namkhan (Jäger et al. 2006: figs. 25- 27). The new species may be recognised by having a broader epigynum, by the shorter anterior bands (Fig. 93), by the distinctly wound section situated (functionally) before fertilisation ducts (Fig. 95) and by longer fertilisation ducts (Fig. 94).
