Type material: Holotype: ♀, China: Hainan: Wuzhishan Mountains, Shuiman Township , riverside ( N18º53.024', E109º39.804', alt. 638 m), 11 April 2009, G. Tang ( IZCAS, Tang_No. 146). GoogleMaps

Etymology. The specific epithet is taken from the Latin adjective oblatus , and means flat globular, referring to the shape of the spermatheca.

Diagnosis. This new species is similar to P. rhombus (see Tang & Li 2009b: 712–721), but can be separated from the latter by the hood that is distinctly separated from copulatory openings (hood next to copulatory openings in P. rhombus ); and the oblates-shaped spermathecae (long kidney-shaped in P. rhombus ).
