Diagnosis. This species is distinctive from all other members in the genus by abdomen boarder than thorax. The only allied species is Planispectrum hainanensis (Chen & He, 2008) comb. nov. , but this species is different from the latter by the gently emarginate posterior margin of the anal segment, legs lacking setae, and antero-dorsal and postero-dorsal carinae of meso- and metafemora with indistinct fin-like lamellae. Notes. Male is not known. This species is likely to reproduce by thelytokous parthenogenesis. Very detailed description of female and egg was provided by Zompro (2004). Distribution. Only known from Hong Kong , probably endemic.
