Diagnosis. The female of P. daiyunensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to that of P. yuanjiangensis Zhao & Li, 2018 ( Jiang et al. 2018) by the short FW and the laterad apical ends of IDS, but can be separated by the π-shaped of IDS (IDS with distinct lateral loop visible through cuticle in ventral view as rounded patches in P. yuanjiangensis ).
