Diagnosis
The male was thoroughly diagnosed by Cao & Li (2016). The female of Phintella sancha Cao & Li, 2016 resembles that of P. suavisoides Lei & Peng, 2013 , but differs in: (1) the copulatory ducts touching each other medially ( Fig. 27A–D View Fig ), whereas being separated in P. suavisoides ( Cao & Li 2016: fig. 37a–b); (2) the inter-distance between epigynal hoods being less than the spermathecal diameter ( Fig. 27A–D View Fig ), whereas about two times the spermathecal diameter in P. suavisoides ( Cao & Li 2016: fig. 32a–b).

Female (TRU-JS 0415)
MEASUREMENTS. Total length 3.28. Carapace 1.48 long, 1.14 wide. Abdomen 1.93 long, 1.05 wide. Eye sizes and inter-distances: AME 0.37, ALE 0.17, PLE 0.16, AERW 1.03, PERW 1.03, EFL 0.73. Legs: I 2.57 (0.78, 0.45, 0.58, 0.43, 0.33), II 2.18 (0.70, 0.38, 0.50, 0.30, 0.30), III 2.71 (0.85, 0.35, 0.58, 0.63, 0.30), IV 3.24 (1.01, 0.43, 0.75, 0.75, 0.30).
HABITUS. Carapace yellow, covered with pale scale-like setae, with a pair of indistinct dark patches behind AMEs ( Fig. 27G View Fig ). Chelicerae with two promarginal teeth and one retromarginal tooth less developed than that in males. Endites lack distal apophysis. Legs pale to yellow. Abdomen elongated, dorsum pale yellow, with dark brown spots laterally, covered with sparse dark brown setae; venter pale ( Fig. 27G View Fig ).
EPIGYNE. With a pair of posterolateral hoods; copulatory openings located anteriorly, with C-shaped margins; copulatory ducts thick, curved proximally, and touching medially, connected to the anterior portion of spherical spermathecae separated from each other by less than one-sixth their diameter; fertilization ducts lamellar, strongly curved at proximal portions, and then extended almost transversely ( Fig. 27A–D View Fig ).
Distribution
China (Yunnan) ( Fig. 58 View Fig ).
