Type material. CHINA, Hunan Province: Holotype female from Zhuzhou City, Yanling County, Taoyuan Cave Nature Reserve [26.43°N, 113.68°E], 321 m, 4 July 2008, J. Liu leg. ( CBEE, LJ01742 ) GoogleMaps . Paratype: 1 female, with same data as for holotype ( CBEE, LJ01743 ) GoogleMaps .
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the
Latin adjective foliiculiaris , - is, - is, meaning “saccate”, referring to the shape of IDS in ventral view; adjective.
Diagnosis. The female of P. foliiculiaris Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to those of P. gemina , P. namkhan , P. rhopalocera Yang et al., 2009 and P. zhenkangensis ( Yang et al. 2009) by the almost straight anterior margins of LL, but may be distinguished from P. gemina and P. zhenkangensis by: 1) LL only touching each other slightly at the anterior part; 2) IDS wide in longitudinal axis (LL touching each other along the middle lines, thinner in P. gemina and P. zhenkangensis ); can be distinguished from P. namkhan and P. rhopalocera by: posterior margins of LL round (with a hump on each side in P. namkhan and P. rhopalocera ).

Epigyne ( Figs 112A–C View FIGURE 112 ): As in diagnosis. EF with nearly equal length in transverse and longitudinal axis. AB distinct. Anterior and posterior margins of LL almost parallel. IDS extending in longitudinal axis up posterior margin, continuously becoming wider, anterior part covered by FW, posterior part freely visible in dorsal view. FD short, narrow.
Colouration ( Figs 113A–B View FIGURE 113 ): DS reddish brown with dark spots, two lateral bands, margin with thin dashed line. Fovea and striae distinctly marked.
