Diagnosis. The male of P. apiculiformis Zhang, Jäger & Liu , spec. nov. is similar to that of P. putaoensis Zhao & Li, 2018 ( Jiang et al. 2018) by E sickle-shaped, but can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: 1) EP obviously in ventral view; 2) RTA simple without additional apophysis (EP indistinct, dRTA finger-like, vRTA broad and humble in P. putaoensis ).
MALE (IOZ0002): Measurements: Small sized. Body length 7.8, DS length 3.8, width 3.4, OS length 4.0, width 2.5. Eyes: AME 0.18, ALE 0.25, PME 0.20, PLE 0.22, AME–AME 0.17, AME–ALE 0.09, PME–PME 0.21, PME–PLE 0.33, AME–PME 0.29, ALE–PLE 0.25, CH AME 0.39, CH ALE 0.32. Spination: Pp 131, 101, 2111; Fe I–II 323, III 322, IV 331; Pa I–III 101, IV 000; Ti I–II 2226, III–IV 2126; Mt I–II 2024, III 3025, IV 3036. Measurements of palps and legs: Pp 5.4 (1.4, 0.8, 1.2, –, 2.0); I 19.2 (5.8, 2.0, 5.4, 4.4, 1.6); II 26.1 (7.2, 2.5, 8.1, 6.3, 2.0); III 16.6 (5.0, 1.7, 4.6, 4.0, 1.3); IV 20.2 (6.4, 1.2, 5.1, 5.7, 1.8).

RTA straight, tapering to tip, arising proximally to medially from Ti.
