Diagnosis.
Pinelema shiba sp. nov. resembles P. podiensis but can be distinguished by the following: the strongly concave dorso-mesial part of the bulb (Fig. 6C, D View Figure 6 ) (vs. weakly concave), the ratio of the bulbal length/width is 1.33 (Fig. 6C, D View Figure 6 ) (vs. 1.75); the tip of the receptacle is 4.10 times wider than the neck (Fig. 7C View Figure 7 ) (vs. 2.20 times).
