Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin adjective bacilliformis , - is, - e, meaning “shaped like a little stick”, referring to the rod-like S in dorsal view; adjective.
Diagnosis. The female of P. bacilliformis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to those of P. daliensis Jäger & Vedel, 2007 , P. recta Jäger & Ono, 2001 and P. zhenkangensis Yang et al., 2009 ( Jäger & Ono 2001; Jäger & Vedel 2007; Yang et al. 2009) by the anterior margins of LL almost straight in transverse axis, but can be distinguished by the LL almost regularly rounded posteriorly (with distinct laterad projection in P. daliensis , more curved in P. recta , almost straight in P. zhenkangensis ). The female of P. bacilliformis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is also similar to that of P. digitata by the similar arrangement of LL and IDS, but can be distinguished by epigyne general stouter and with longer stick-shaped parts of IDS longer (epigyne more distinctly wider than long and with shorter stick-shaped parts of IDS in P. digitata ).
