Diagnosis.

Pinelema bailongensis resembles P. cordata (see Figure 5 and Wang and Li 2010: 9, figs 11-15) but can be distinguished by following characters: small apophyses present on embolus distal-retrolaterally (see Song et al. 2017b: figure 8A and Wang and Li 2012: figure 4) (apophyses absent on embolus distal-retrolaterally in P. cordata ), larger Esl/El ratio (0.58-0.62, n = 5, mean: 0.60, Suppl. material 1: Figure S1) (smaller Esl/El ratio 0.51-0.54, n = 5, mean: 0.52 in P. cordata ), and shape of receptacle spiral (see Wang and Li 2012: figs 8, 11) (receptacle U-shaped in P. cordata ).

Description.

El/Bl ratio 1.40-1.48 (n=5, mean: 1.43, Suppl. material 1: Figure S1), Esl/El ratio 0.58-0.62 (n = 5, mean: 0.60, Suppl. material 1: Figure S1). For more detailed descriptions see Wang and Li (2012) and Song et al. (2017b).

Distribution.

China (Guangxi, Figure 31), known only from the type locality.
