Diagnosis.

Pinelema mikrosphaira comb. nov. resembles P. nuocnutensis but can be easily distinguished by the following: the eyes are encircled by black rings (vs. vestigial), the width ratio of the bulb/palpal tibia is 4.0 (Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ) (vs. 2.0); the embolus is shaped like an equilateral-triangle (Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ) (vs. beak-shaped); the distal part of the receptacle is swollen and globular (cf. Wang and Li 2010b: fig. 21C, D) (vs. not swollen).

See Wang and Li (2010b).
