Type material.
Holotype ♂: Vietnam: Quang Binh Province: Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park: Tien Duong Cave, N17°31.17', E106°13.38', 133 m, 18.V.2016, Z.G. Chen & Q.Y. Zhao leg. Paratypes 3♂ and 4♀, same data as holotype.
Etymology.
This specific name is derived from the Chinese Pinyin 'zhēn zhuàng’, meaning ‘needle-shaped’, in reference to the shape of the embolus; adjective.
Diagnosis.
This new species can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the short needle-shaped embolus (Figs 19B, 20 C–D). The embolus of other Pinelema species is either long and tube-like, short and triangular or short and trapezoidal.
Description.
Male (holotype). Total length 1.28. Carapace 0.49 long, 0.50 wide. Abdomen 0.69 long, 0.57 wide. Carapace yellow. Eyes absent. Chelicerae, sternum, and legs yellow. Leg measurements: I 4.80 (1.39, 0.22, 1.53, 0.99, 0.67); II 4.04 (1.20, 0.21, 1.28, 0.79, 0.56); III 2.93 (0.89, 0.18, 0.86, 0.54, 0.46); IV 3.44 (1.09, 0.19, 0.99, 0.71, 0.46). Abdomen brown with sparse long hairs.
Palp: femur 2.2 times longer than patella, tibia 1.8 times longer than patella, cymbial apophysis brown and spine-like (Figs 19C, 20A); REC 0.42; bulb acorn-shaped (Figs 19 C–D, 20 A–B); embolus bent and needle-shaped (Figs 19 B–D, 20 C–D), slit extending along entire embolus (Fig. 20B, D).
Female. Total length 1.19 (Fig. 21 A–B). Carapace 0.54 long, 0.51 wide. Abdomen 0.60 long, 0.53 wide. Coloration same as in male. Leg measurements: I 4.96 (1.50, 0.24, 1.56, 0.99, 0.67); II 4.25 (1.31, 0.22, 1.31, 0.83, 0.58); III 3.11 (0.99, 0.21, 0.90, 0.59, 0.42); IV 3.61 (1.20, 0.18, 1.05, 0.68, 0.50). Endogyne as in Fig. 21C; insemination duct narrow and its diameter shorter than length of receptacle; receptacle oval.
