Diagnosis. The female of P. huanglianensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to that of P. cangschana by anterior margin of LL broad V-shaped, extending distinctly into anterior half of epigyne, but can be distinguished by S extending in longitudinal axis (extending in transverse axis in P. cangschana ) and FW extending laterally (forming a posteriorly diverging triangle in P. cangschana ).

Colouration ( Figs 125A–B View FIGURE 125 ): DS brown with dark spots and hairs, two lateral bands, margin with dashed line and black patterns. Fovea and striae distinctly marked. OS dorsally dark reddish brown, with several dots, with a transverse yellow line at posterior part.
