On Putaoa, a new genus of the spider family Pimoidae (Araneae) from China, with a cladistic test of its monophyly and phylogenetic placement Author Hormiga, Gustavo Author Tu, Lihong text Zootaxa 2008 1792 1 21 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.182548 aa5e4aec-08d9-49d2-b58c-8f1217207ad3 1175-5326 182548 Putaoa megacantha ( Xu & Li, 2007 ) new combination W. megacanthus Xu & Li, 2007 : 499 , figs. 75-81. This species was recently described and illustrated, based on a single male specimen from the Sichuan Province ( type specimen deposited at Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing; not examined). Putaoa megacantha is hypothesized to be sister to P. huaping . The female remains unknown. In this paper we provide a revised diagnosis in light of the description of P. huaping new species . Diagnosis. Males of P. megacantha can be distinguished from other pimoids by the large and conspicuous macroseta at the base of the ectal cymbial margin ( Xu & Li 2007: figs. 78 and 80-81 ). Both the embolus and the PEP are very different from those in P. huaping new species (compare Xu & Li 2007 : figs. 79-81 to Figs. 3 A-C). In P. megacantha the embolus is rather broad and forms a right angle with its base while in P. huaping the embolus is shorter and has a broad base. In P. megacantha the PEP is rather broad and forms a deep concavity while in P. huaping it is highly bifurcated and pointed.
