Diagnosis.
Pinelema bailongensis
resembles
P. cordata
(see Figure 5 and
Wang and Li 2010
: 9, figs 11-15) but can be distinguished by following characters: small apophyses present on embolus distal-retrolaterally (see
Song et al. 2017b
: figure 8A and
Wang and Li 2012
: figure 4) (apophyses absent on embolus distal-retrolaterally in
P. cordata
), larger Esl/El ratio (0.58-0.62, n = 5, mean: 0.60, Suppl. material 1: Figure S1) (smaller Esl/El ratio 0.51-0.54, n = 5, mean: 0.52 in
P. cordata
), and shape of receptacle spiral (see
Wang and Li 2012
: figs 8, 11) (receptacle U-shaped in
P. cordata
).
