Etymology.
The specific name is a combination of the Latin words ‘
lasio
’ which means wooley or downey and ‘
lepsis
’ meaning shiny or iridescent, and refers to visual characters on the abdomen; adjective.

, holotype male (A, C–E) and paratype female (B, F–G). A. Male habitus, dorsal view; B. Female habitus, dorsal view; C. Male left palp, prolateral view; D. Same, ventral view; E. Same, retrolateral view; F. Epigyne, ventral view; G. Vulva, dorsal view. Scale bars: 0.50 mm (A–B); 0.20 mm (C–G).
Diagnosis.
The new species is similar to
P. palgongensis
(
Seo, 1988: 90
, figs 27–32) in having a similar SD, but can be distinguished from the latter by: 1) with one strong RTA (two different RTA in the latter); 2) embolus thick (thinner relatively in the latter); 3) thicker, shorter CD (thin, long in the latter); 4) BU crescent, ear-like (not crescent in the latter). The new species also can be distinguished from
P. pennatus
(
Yaginuma, 1967
b: 102, figs 3i–k) by: 1) with one strong RTA (two different RTA in the latter); 2) embolus thicker (thin relatively in the latter); 3) thicker, shorter CD (thin in the latter); 4) BU crescent, ear-like (not crescent in the latter).
