5C66494BBC5E5EEAA427896890BAF57C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Females resemble those of P. subaureolus in having the similarly bell-shaped MS which is not delimited to SEF, but can be recognised by: (1) A comma-shaped (vs elongate-oval, nearly funnel-shaped) (cf. Fig. 8 C, D, F and Fig. 11 D); (2) anterior keel of MS relatively wider, ~ 1 / 5 – 1 / 4 epigyne width (vs distinctly narrower, ~ 1 / 10 – 1 / 8 epigyne width) (cf. Fig. 8 D and Fig. 11 D); (3) CD heavily sclerotised, not looped, distinctly thick and short, almost as thick as R, length ~ 1 / 2 epigyne (vs weakly sclerotised, distinctly thinner and longer, with a long cCD forming two loops before entering R, their thickness no more than 1 / 2 the diameter of R, length longer than epigyne) (cf. Fig. 8 E, G and Fig. 11 E); (4) R elongate-oval, anteriorly separated by ~ 0.5 × diameters, posteriorly separated by ~ 1.3 × diameters (vs nearly spherical, separated by ~ 1 diameter) (cf. Fig. 8 E, G and Fig. 11 E). Males of P. guiyang are also similar to those of P. subaureolus by the similar, blade-shaped VTA, lamellar RTA with a bifurcated tip, spine-shaped IR, and the more or less S-shaped SDL, but can be distinguished from the latter by: (1) Em claw-shaped, distinctly shorter, originating at the 10 o’clock position, terminating at the ~ 1 o’clock position (vs filiform, distinctly longer, originating at 8 o’clock position, terminating at ~ 1 o’clock position) (cf. Fig. 9 A, C, D and Fig. 10 D – F); (2) Con distinctly shorter, enveloping the second half of Em, the coverage ranges from the 11 o’clock to the 1 o’clock position (vs distinctly longer, almost enveloping the entire Em, the coverage ranges from the 9 o’clock to the 1 o’clock position) (cf. Fig. 9 A, C, D and Fig. 10 D – F); (3) in retrolateral view, the middle section of RTA distinctly narrower than its base and tip (vs not distinctly narrowed, the entire RTA is almost uniform in width) (cf. Fig. 9 D and Fig. 10 F); and (4) vRTA noticeably prominent, distinctly longer and sharper than dRTA (vs vRTA small, both branches of RTA are similar in size and shape) (cf. Fig. 9 D and Fig. 10 F).	en	Zhang, Jianshuang, Zhang, Chengwen, Zhong, Yang (2025): On small huntsman spiders (Araneae, Philodromidae) occurring in Guizhou and Hubei provinces, China.
