Diagnosis.

Pinelema xiezi resembles P. cucphongensis comb. nov. but can be distinguished by the following: the lateral scuta on the abdomen is absent (cf. Zhao et al. 2018a: figs 16A, 17A) (vs. present); the different shape of the embolus, the smaller ratio of the bulbal length/width (1.28, Fig. 8, and cf. Zhao et al. 2018a: fig. 16C, D) (vs. 1.49), the larger length ratio of the embolus/bulb (0.63, Fig. 8, and cf. Zhao et al. 2018a: fig. 16C, D) (vs. 0.36); the distal part of the receptacle is five times wider than the neck of the receptacle (cf. Zhao et al. 2018a: fig. 18C) (vs. seven times).
