Type material.

Holotype ♀ (CASENT 9029328, HNU) and paratypes 5♀, 2 juv. (CASENT 9029327, HNU) China: Yunnan Province, Gaoligongshan, Nujiang Prefecture, Nujiang State Nature Reserve, Qiqihe, 9.9 air km W of Gongshan (27.715°N, 98.565°E; 2000 m alt.), 9-14.VII.2000, H. Yan et al. leg.

Other material examined.

2♀ (NHMSU-HA122) China: Yunnan Province, Gongshan County, at 54 km of from Gongshan County to Dulongjiang Town , in primary forest, leaf litter (27.87840°N, 98.42274°E; 2525 m alt.), 13.VIII.2018, Y. Lin et al. leg GoogleMaps .

Diagnosis.

The male differs from other Patu species, with the exception of P. nigeri , P. silho and P. xiaoxiao , by the palp with an unexposed embolus (fig. 73A and B in Miller et al. 2009). It differs by having a hooked median apophysis vs. lacking in P. nigeri and P. silho (cf. fig. 73A in Miller et al. 2009 and fig. 4A and B in Lin and Li 2009 and fig. 5A and B in Saaristo 1996) and it differs from P. xiaoxiao by lacking a tegular process (cf. fig. 73A in Miller et al. 2009 and Fig. 14A View Figure 14 ). The female is most similar to that of P. nigeri in the shape of the epigyne and the configuration of the vulva, but it can be easily distinguished by the indistinct scape and the hidden copulatory openings vs. a tongue-shaped parmula and exposed copulatory openings (cf. Figs 12F-G View Figure 12 vs. 10F-G).
