Pinelema bailongensis: Wang and Li 2012: 82, figs 1-17 (♂♀); Song et al. 2017b: 85, figs 7A, 8A, 9A, 10A, 11A, 12A (♂).
Material examined. Holotype ♂ (IZCAS): China, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Baise Prefecture, Pingguo County, Bailong Cave, 23°19.094'N, 107°34.387'E, 111 m, 1.VIII.2009, C. Wang & Z. Yao leg. Paratypes (IZCAS): 1♂ and 4 ♀, same data as holotype.
Other material examined. 5♂ and 5♀ (molecular vouchers, IZCAS), same data as holotype.
Diagnosis. Pinelema bailongensisresembles P. cordata(see Figure 5 and Wang and Li 2010: 9, figs 11-15) but can be distinguished by following characters: small apophyses present on embolus distal-retrolaterally (see Song et al. 2017b: figure 8A and Wang and Li 2012: figure 4) (apophyses absent on embolus distal-retrolaterally in P. cordata), larger Esl/El ratio (0.58-0.62, n = 5, mean: 0.60, Suppl. material 1: Figure S1) (smaller Esl/El ratio 0.51-0.54, n = 5, mean: 0.52 in P. cordata), and shape of receptacle spiral (see Wang and Li 2012: figs 8, 11) (receptacle U-shaped in P. cordata). Figure 1. Pinelema bailongensis, male palp, retrolateral view showing bulb length (Bl), embolus length (El) and embolic slit length (Esl).
Description. El/Bl ratio 1.40-1.48 (n=5, mean: 1.43, Suppl. material 1: Figure S1), Esl/El ratio 0.58-0.62 (n = 5, mean: 0.60, Suppl. material 1: Figure S1). For more detailed descriptions see Wang and Li (2012)and Song et al. (2017b).
Distribution. China (Guangxi, Figure 31), known only from the type locality.
