Diagnosis.

This species resembles P. zhewang (see Figs 28-30 and Chen and Zhu 2009: 1709, figure 3 A–D, F–L, O–Q) but can be differentiated by following characters: cymbial apophysis long (Figure 24A) (cymbial apophysis very short in P. zhewang ) and smaller Esl/El ratio (0.50-0.52, n = 5, mean: 0.51, Suppl. material 1: Figure S10) (larger Esl/El ratio 058-0.63, n = 4, mean: 0.60 in P. zhewang ).

Description.

Male palp: Embolus bent (Figure 24 A–D), El/Bl ratio 1.58-1.73 (n = 5, Suppl. material 1: Figure S10), and Esl/El ratio 0.50-0.52 (n = 5, Suppl. material 1: Figure S10). For more detailed descriptions, see Wang and Li (2016).
