Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
P
.
ryukyuensis

Chen & Máca

in the characters of paramere and aedeagus, but can be distinguished from the latter by having two characters of the vertical process of gonopod (
Fig. 23D
): submedian branches (b) of anterior tripartite processes much longer than apical branches (a); base (c) of posterior saccate processes distinctly thinned and stalk-like; in

ryukyuensis
(as fig.

): apical branches (a) of anterior tripartite processes slightly longer than submedian branches (b); base (c) of posterior saccate processes distinctly broadened.
