Figs 37–39

Type material: Holotype: ♂, China : Hainan: Wuzhishan Mountains, Shuiman Township (N18º53.024', E109º39.804', alt. 638 m), 11 April 2009, G. Tang ( IZCAS, Tang _ No. 147) . Paratype: 1 ♀, same data as holotype ( IZCAS, Tang _ No. 147) .

Etymology. The specific name is a patronym in honor of Prof. Wei Liang (Hainan Normal University), who supported our field work in Hainan Province.

Diagnosis. The male is similar to P. zhengi Tang & Li, 2009 , but can be separated by the comparatively small RTA and presence of scopulae only in distal part of cymbial dorsum (cymbium dorsum with scopulae in P. zhengi ). The male is also similar to P. leguminaceus Tang & Li, 2009 , but can be separated by the RTA shape. The female can be easily separated from P. zhengi and P. leguminaceus by the absence of anteriorly situated cavity and median septum in epigynum.
