Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality, the Baoshan City; adjective.
Diagnosis. P. baoshanensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to P. contentio by: 1) E sickleshaped; 2)T with prolaterad outgrowth; 3) Similar female copulatory organ with subparallel anterior and posterior margins of LL and roundish sclerotized parts of IDS situated centrally in each LL, but can be distinguished by the following characters: 1) dRTA slightly curved; 2) E broader and reaching retrolatero-distal margin of alveolus; 3) Almost half of FW covered by LL (dRTA forming a circle-shaped interspace with vRTA, E shorter and thinner, posterior third of FW freely visible in P. contentio ).
MALE (LJ01899): Measurements: Small sized. Body length 7.8–9.4, DS length 4.5, width 3.9, OS length 4.3, width 2.7. Eyes: AME 0.17, ALE 0.24, PME 0.19, PLE 0.20, AME–AME 0.15, AME–ALE 0.08, PME– PME 0.20, PME–PLE 0.29, AME–PME 0.27, ALE–PLE 0.22, CH AME 0.33, CH ALE 0.25. Spination: Pp 131, 101, 2121; Fe I–II 323, III 322, IV 322; Pa I–III 101, IV 100; Ti I–II 2228, III–IV 2126; Mt I–II 2024, III 3025, IV 3036. Measurements of palps and legs: Pp 5.8 (1.7, 0.8, 1.3, –, 2.0); I 18.8 (5.6, 1.5, 5.4, 5.0, 1.3); II 22.2 (6.3, 2.0, 6.5, 5.8, 1.6); III 16.5 (5.1, 1.4, 4.7, 4.3, 1.0); IV 19.3 (6.1, 1.1, 5.1, 5.5, 1.5). Leg formula: II-IV-I-III. Cheliceral furrow with ca. 28 denticles.
Palp ( Figs 26A–C View FIGURE 26 ): As in diagnosis. E short, arising from T at 9:00–9:30 o’clock position. Tip of E turning roughly 180°. Spermophor running submarginally along retrolateral margin of T, with distinct U-turn prolaterally. RTA arising medially on Ti, with one small, but distinct bulge at the middle part.
Colouration ( Figs 28A–B View FIGURE 28 ): DS yellowish-brown with distinct two longitudinal lateral bands and some pattern in light areas. Fovea distinctly marked with one small triangle each anteriorly and posteriorly. Dorsal OS light yellow, with dark marks at the margins anteriorly, with dark band above heart and a pentagonal pattern at the middle part. Ventral OS with several brown marks, regularly arranged.
FEMALE (LJ01896): Measurements: Small to Medium sized. Body length 8.8–11.3, DS length 4.4, width 3.9, OS length 6.2, width 5.2. Eyes: AME 0.16, ALE 0.25, PME 0.21, PLE 0.23, AME–AME 0.15, AME–ALE 0.08, PME–PME 0.24, PME–PLE 0.35, AME–PME 0.32, ALE–PLE 0.30, CH AME 0.27, CH ALE 0.22. Spination: Pp 131, 101, 2121, 1014; Fe I–II 323, III–IV 322; Pa I–III 101, IV 100; Ti I–II 2228, III–IV 2126; Mt I–II 2024, III 3025, IV 3036. Measurements of palps and legs: Pp 4.4 (1.3, 0.6, 1.0, –, 1.5); I 11.0 (3.2, 1.2, 3.1, 2.5, 1.0); II 14.2 (4.0, 1.4, 4.3, 3.2, 1.3); III 9.2 (3.0, 0.9, 2.5, 2.1, 0.7); IV 10.7 (3.5, 0.6, 2.6, 2.9, 1.1). Leg formula: II-I-IV-III. Cheliceral furrow with ca. 25 denticles.
Epigyne ( Figs 27A–C View FIGURE 27 ): As in diagnosis. EF wider than long, AB indistinct. Margins of LL wrinkled, especially laterally. FW broad and flat, covering almost the whole IDS in dorsal view. FD situated medially.
Colouration ( Figs 28C–D View FIGURE 28 ): As in male, dorsal OS generally darker and with a pair of distinct spots mediolaterally.
