Body length 1.22-1.75. Carapace 0.48-0.75 long. Tibia I 1.15-1.87 long. Six eyes ringed with black ( P. biyunensis (Wang & Li, 2010) comb. nov., P. shiba sp. nov., and P. zonaria (Wang & Li, 2010) comb. nov.), vestigial ( P. podiensis Zhao & Li, 2017), or absent ( P. bifida (Lin & Li, 2010) comb. nov.). Ratio of bulbal length/width 1.31-1.67, embolus shorter than bulb, length ratio of embolus/bulb 0.57-0.79, embolic shape long isosceles triangle (Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ). Receptacle J-shaped, slightly swollen distally.
