Type material. CHINA, Hunan Province: Holotype female from Zhangjiajie City, Sangzhi County, Tianpingshan Forest Farm , Davidia involucrata Garden , 29.78°N, 110.09°E, 1401 m, 20 June 2017, Y. Zhong & Y. Zhu leg. ( CBEE, LJ05086 ) GoogleMaps . Paratypes: 8 females, with same data as for holotype ( CBEE, LJ02398 – LJ02401 , LJ05003 , LJ05069 , LJ05074 , LJ05083 ) GoogleMaps .
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality, the Tianpingshan Forest Farm; adjective.
Diagnosis. The female of P. tianpingensis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to that of P. nanyueensis Tang & Yin, 2000 ( Tang & Yin 2000) by: 1) Anterior margins of LL forming flat-bottomed V-shaped and almost parallel to posterior margins; 2) Roughly oval shaped sclerotised part of IDS in ventral view. It can be recognised by anterior margins of LL antero-laterad to anteriad (medio-anteriad in P. nanyueensis ).
FEMALE (LJ05086): Measurements: Medium sized. Body length 11.8–13.1, DS length 5.7, width 5.0, OS length 7.2, width 5.4. Eyes: AME 0.19, ALE 0.29, PME 0.23, PLE 0.25, AME–AME 0.19, AME–ALE 0.11, PME–PME 0.27, PME–PLE 0.40, AME–PME 0.39, ALE–PLE 0.34, CH AME 0.44, CH ALE 0.39. Spination: Pp 131, 101, 2121, 1014; Fe I–II 323, III–IV 322; Pa I–III 101, IV 100; Ti I–II 2228, III–IV 2126; Mt I–II 2024, III 3025, IV 3036. Measurements of palps and legs: Pp 7.2 (2.0, 1.1, 1.4, –, 2.7); I 16.6 (4.7, 2.0, 4.4, 4.1, 1.4); II 19.9 (5.2, 2.4, 5.9, 4.8, 1.6); III 14.6 (4.4, 1.6, 3.8, 3.5, 1.3); IV 15.9 (5.0, 1.1, 4.0, 4.3, 1.5). Leg formula: II-I-IV-III. Cheliceral furrow with ca. 26 denticles.
Epigyne ( Figs 244A–C View FIGURE 244 ): As in diagnosis. EF wider than long, with trilobate anterior margin and distinct AB. Posterior margins of LL evenly rounded. FW well developed, covering the entire IDS.
Colouration ( Figs 245A–B View FIGURE 245 ): DS yellow with dark pattern and many dark setae. Fovea and striae indistinctly marked, in front of fovea a pair of small dots. Chelicerae with indistinct longitudinal bands. Legs vividly spotted. Sternum yellow without pattern, coxae ventrally indistinctly spotted. OS dorsally reddish brown with lots of yellow dots and a transversal white line in posterior half. OS ventrally with darker reddish brown median band and dots mostly along the band’s margin, laterally with irregular arranged pattern.
