This species is subject to considerable intraspecific variation, such as punctation of the head and pronotum (Fig. 3) and the shape of the apical portion of the dorsal plate of the aedeagus (Figs 4 E – J). However, the body proportions, especially the HW / PW, PL / PW, and EL / PL ratios, as well as the broader ventral process relative to the dorsal plate, appear to be stable within the species. The material from Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Xizang represents new provincial records. For illustrations of P. nigripes, see Figs 3, 4, as well as Assing (2022: figs 1085–1086, 1110–1111, 1146–1151).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0D6B6627532A5EA88BAD6851921E701D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The holotype of P. linmeiyingae was collected from Beibeng, Medog, Xizang, and the paratype from Mingfenggu Valley, Jianfengling, Ledong County, Hainan. The specimens examined in this study were obtained from Diaoluoshan and Jianfengling, Hainan, at altitudes of 600–1000 m. The Jianfengling specimen originates from the paratype locality, and the Diaoluoshan locality is approximately 100 km from the latter. However, the measurements of the Hainan specimens differ from those reported for P. linmeiyingae . The body size and length of aedeagus of the Hainan specimens (TL = 9.29 mm, FL = 4.78 mm, AL = 1.31–1.37 mm) are markedly smaller than those reported by Li et al. (2026) for P. linmeiyingae (TL = 10.7–13.2 mm, FL = 6.33–6.36 mm, AL = 1.48 mm). In addition, they differ in the shape of the apex of the aedeagus. Moreover, the holotype illustrated in the original publication is from Xizang, whereas no material from Xizang was available for direct comparison in the present study; only specimens from Hainan were examined. Since the species is brachypterous, it cannot be excluded that the populations from Xizang and Hainan represent different (cryptic) species or local races. In addition, these specimens are similar to P. yunnanica, but this unidentified species can be distinguished from it by the longer and paler antennae, the smaller ratio of elytral length to pronotal length, and the more slender and symmetric ventral process of the aedeagus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/992A55010FF951D9A0487994BF6EAE13	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

According to Assing (2022), the holotype male of P. clavulata was collected in Jinggangshan, Jiangxi, whereas the Guizhou material consists only of female specimens. The specimen examined in the present study is regarded as conspecific with the Guizhou specimen reported by Assing. The two localities are only about 100 km apart and the measurements of this female specimen (TL = 12.12 mm, FL = 6.06 mm, HW / PW = 0.85, PL / PW = 0.91, EL / PL = 0.74) are similar to those reported by Assing (TL = 12–13 mm, FL = 5.7–6.3 mm, HW / PW = 0.88–0.89, PL / PW = 0.88–0.89, EL / PL = 0.71–0.75). However, in Assing (2022), the two localities in Jiangxi and Guizhou are approximately 650 km apart. Moreover, the hind wings of this species were described as probably of reduced length. In view of the considerable geographic distance between the Jiangxi and Guizhou localities and the presumably limited dispersal ability implied by the reduced hind wings, it cannot be excluded that the Jiangxi and Guizhou specimens may represent different species. In the absence of the male specimen for confirmation, this specimen cannot be assigned to P. clavulata with certainty at present.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1B11C2EDDCF25463976E41686EEBC333	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is closely allied to P. liaoi sp. nov. and P. clavulata Assing, 2022 . It differs from P. clavulata by the larger length-to-width ratio of antennomere V, the longer antenna, the more strongly projecting anterior angles of the pronotum, the finer pronotal punctation, the stouter basal portion of the aedeagus, the more rounded apex of the ventral process, and the more pronounced lateral projections of the apical portion of the ventral process in ventral view. It is additionally separated from P. liaoi by the larger body size, the larger length-to-width ratio of antennomere V, the longer antennae, the smaller ratio of elytral length to pronotal length, the less strongly convex pronotum in cross-section, the finer pronotal punctation, the stouter basal portion of the aedeagus, the more rounded apex of the ventral process, and the more pronounced lateral projections of the apical portion of the ventral process in ventral view. The aedeagus of P. yini is also similar to those of P. coarcticollis (Cameron, 1941) and P. spiculata Assing, 2022; however, these two species are geographically remote and differ in the punctation of the head and, therefore, belong to a different species group. For illustrations of P. clavulata, see Assing (2022: figs 1106, 1133, 1197–1198), and of P. liaoi sp. nov., see Fig. 2.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5644BA77F69850B48044E2AEC9E2CD57	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It can be distinguished from P. biexcisa by the more truncate apex of the dorsal plate of the aedeagus. It is additionally separated from P. truncata by the longer ventral process of the aedeagus. This species was only recently described from Yunnan Province (Assing 2022). The above material from Guangdong represents new provincial records. For illustrations of P. yunnanica, see Fig. 6 and Assing (2022: figs 1103, 1130, 1191–1193).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B320B493FD8554BEAB1857FA87DDB881	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
