Figs 268–269 , Map 6 Type material. CHINA , Guangdong Province : Holotype male from Shenzhen City , Longhua District , Yangtai Mountain , 22.65°N , 113.97°E , 301 m , 30 January 2021 , Q. Lu leg. ( CBEE , LJ20210628001 ) . Paratype : 1 male , with same data as for holotype ( CBEE , LJ20210628002 ) . Etymology . The specific name is derived from the type locality, Yangtai Mountain; adjective. Diagnosis. The male of P. yangtaiensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to those of P . bicruris and P. papilionacea spec. nov. in having a bifurcate E with thin embolic tip and a prolateral protrusion at the base of E, but can be distinguished by distal part of E flat, long and filiform, its tip proximad (distal part of E columnarshaped in P . bicruris , distal part of E with a triangular projection in P. papilionacea spec. nov. ). MALE (LJ20210628001): Measurements: Medium sized. Body length 10.9–11.3, DS length 4.9, width 4.7, OS length 6.0, width 3.5.

Measurements of palps and legs: Pp 8.1 (2.4, 1.2, 1.7, –, 2.8); I 28.5 (8.5, 2.2, 8.3, 7.4, 2.1); II 33.4 (9.4, 2.8, 9.7, 9.0, 2.5); III 24.6 (7.5, 1.9, 7.0, 6.5, 1.7); IV 29.4 (9.0, 2.5, 7.8, 8.6, 1.5). Leg formula: II-IV-I-III. Cheliceral furrow with ca. 33 denticles. Palp ( Figs 268A–C ): As in diagnosis. C arising from T at 12:30–1:00 o’clock position. E arising from T at 11:00 o’clock position, basally broad, bifurcate at apical part. Spermophor S-shaped, running almost centrally through T in ventral view. RTA arising medially from Ti. dRTA short, curved (best seen in ventral view) and with pointed tip; vRTA broad. Colouration ( Figs 269A–B ): DS yellow with dark setae. Fovea and striae distinctly marked. OS dorsally yellowish-brown, margins with brown patches, irregularly arranged. OS ventrally yellow with small dark triangular patch in front of spinnerets.
