Pinelema bailongensis Wang & Li, 2012: 82, figs 1-17 (♂♀).

Material examined.

1♂ (IZCAS), China: Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region: Baise Prefecture: Pingguo County, Bailong Cave, N23°19', E107°34', 111 m, 1.VIII.2009, C. Wang & Z. Yao.

Diagnosis.

The species is similar to P. xiushuiensis and can be distinguished by a kidney-shaped palpal bulb, many fine papillae at the retrolateral posterior part of the bulb (noted by arrows on Fig. 8A) and spine-like structures on the tip of the embolus (noted by arrows on Figs 8A, 10A) (the bulb is ovoid, and papillae and spine-like structures are absent in P. xiushuiensis ).

Description.

Described by Wang and Li (2012). Here we add the description of the male palp: embolus long, tube shaped, outer margin distinctly protuberant, forming a spiral ridge (Figs 7A, 8A, 9A, 10A, 11A), continuing for approximately 180° around the embolus (Fig. 11A); the groove of the embolus has a cluster of spine-like structures (Figs 8A, 10A) (Wang and Li 2012: figs 1, 4); a distinct slit occurs in the groove, from the tip to the mesal part of the embolus (Figs 8A, 10A).
