Remarks The holotype from China (Guangdong, Ding-Hu Mts) was not examined and the interpretation here is based on the original description and the additional Chinese specimens listed above. There are 21 females agreeing with the description of P. sinensis except for the body length (5.0–6.0 mm vs 5.9–6.2 mm for the types) and the colouration of the mesonotum (one female black vs orange-brown for the types).
