Type locality.

“ Yunnan Province, Kunming City ”

New material examined.

China • 1 male, 2 females & 5 oothecae; Yunnan Province, Dali City, Cangshan National Geopark, Yudai Road ; 29 Jul. 2022; Wei Han, Xin-Xing Luo leg.

Ootheca.

Light yellowish brown. Longitudinal lines densely arranged but not prominent. Serrated protuberances sparsely arranged with subtriangular tips. No respiratory ducts (Fig. 15 I, R ).

Remarks.

This species is the only one in the genus with unicolored tegmina; the remaining species have spotted tegmina. It has the smallest interspecific genetic distance (6.61 %) with P. pilosa in the genus. However, it can be distinguished from the latter based on tegmina coloration alone.
