Etymology. The species name is derived from the type locality; adjective.

Diagnosis. The new species is similar to P. zhouyun ( Wang et al., 2015: 459–460, figs 11–12) in having a similar embolus, but can be distinguished from the latter by: 1) shorter CD (long in the latter); 2) larger COs (small in the latter); 3) RTA sharp apically (blunt in the latter).
