In contrast, P. wooi exhibits non-fused medial black maculae on the tegmina in natural posture, with the abdomen (excluding the terminal segment) being dark yellowish brown. Furthermore, females of this species possess four symmetrical yellow maculae near the anterior margin on both the mesonotum and metanotum, whereas P. wooi females bear only two conspicuous symmetrical yellow maculae solely on the metanotum.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Holotype.

The tegmina markings pattern of the Jianchuan male, however, is noticeably denser than that of the P. pilosa holotype (closer to specimens from Blue Moon Valley, Yulong Snow Mountain) and exhibits a significantly greater body length (excluding wings: 20.3 mm vs. 15.6–16.8 mm in the type locality). Given the minimal genetic divergence from other P. pilosa populations (5.13–6.90 %) and proximity to its known distribution, we tentatively assign these Jianchuan specimens to P. pilosa in the present study.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/74819DD952CD5889986B6D27AEED1DBF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, it is readily distinguished from P. daweishana and P. hengduana by the conspicuously sparser maculae in the anal field of the tegmina compared to adjacent areas. Furthermore, it differs from P. fengi yongshengensis by the absence of a longitudinal yellow stripe on the mid-ventral sternum — a diagnostic trait presents in the latter. Additional key diagnostic characters include: denser maculae on the tegmina of P. spelunca males, concentrated primarily basally and medially, but sparse apically.

Genital hook (L 3) thin and straight, curved hook section small. L 4 M broad lamellate. L 4 N developed, pda and paa broad and curved. L 8 irregular, lamellate, bearing a long clavate process. R 1 M stoutly expanded terminally. R 1 L elongate and banded. R 2 divided into two chunks, narrowly spaced, with rounded margins. R 3 broadly concave (Fig. 5 K, L).</p><p>Paratype. Measurements (mm). Body length: 20.08; body width: 12.43; pronotum length × width: 9.14 × 5.28.</p><p>Coloration. Terga orange-red (Fig. 5 C). Head dark brown. Antennae yellow. Ocelli white. Ante-clypeus yellowish brown. Post-clypeus dark brown. Labrum with a white patch basally, remaining portions yellowish brown (Fig. 5 H). Legs reddish brown. Spines on the leg reddish brown, terminal nearly black. Sterna yellowish brown to orange-red, subgenital plate black (Fig. 5 D).</p><p>Body. The widest point of pronotum near the hind margin, middle part with symmetrical dark-black stripe, anterior yellow margin indistinct (Fig. 5 F). Ocelli indistinct, degenerated to two patches. The distance between ocelli narrower than the distance between antennal sockets, and the latter narrower than interocular space (Fig. 5 H). Front femur Type C 1. Arolia and pulvilli absent.</p><p>Nymph. Similar to female, only the coloration is slightly paler.</p><p>Ootheca. Reddish brown, surface with many parallel, dense longitudinal lines. Ridges of serrated protuberances with broad bases, slightly curved lateral edges and blunt tips. No respiratory canals (Fig. 8 A, D).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species epithet is derived from the Latin word vest, denoting its tegmina markings resembling a vest.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This species exhibits relatively close genetic divergence to both P. spelunca (7.75 % – 8.93 %) and P. duani (8.75 %). Morphologically, the male tegmina maculae of this species closely resemble those of P. deficiens, and females of both taxa share a tergum pigmentation tending toward orange-red. However, the former displays significantly deeper pigmentation, and this species exhibits a pronounced color difference between the terga and sterna (terga orange-red, sterna yellowish brown to orange-red), whereas in P. deficiens, the pigmentation of these surfaces is largely consistent. In addition, the substantial genetic divergence between P. vestis and P. deficiens reaches 17.53 %, supporting their recognition as distinct species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D1C8B03AB7B35737B7A100E83BE1B155	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
