Epigyne and spermathecae ( Figs 45–46 View Figs 39–46 ). The posterior part of CD slightly concaved. The EA poorly-marked, almost invisible. The S elongated, receding anteriorly. The SO is in anterior position.

Remarks: P. xinjiangensis was identified on the basis of the illustrations by SONG and ZHU (1997: fig. 142). Compared to other species of the histrio group, P. xinjiangensis differs in having the poorly seen embolus, which looks like an elongated plate with the dorsal chitinous ridge on it (Fig. 36). The PTA is not visible either. The latter character relates this species to P. timidus , from which it differs in the wider RTA (cf. Figs 37 and 34). The female of P. xinjiangensis possesses the poorly-marked EA and the wide and short CD, resembling that of Thanatus striatus C. L. KOCH, 1845 (cf. Figs 45, 46 View Figs 39–46 and figs 231–233 in LOGUNOV 1996).

Habitat: Kazakhstan: shrubby stony desert (present data). This species often occurs together with P. fallax (see below). Elevations: 0–540 m a.s.l.

Distribution: The Central Asian subboreal range; known from Azerbaijan (present data) in the west, throughout Middle Asia (present data) to NW China, Xinjinang and Inner Mongolia ( TANG & SONG 1989, SONG et al. 1999) in the east; for the collection localities see Map 11 View Maps 10–11 .
