Distribution

China (Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Ningxia, Taiwan, Yunnan, Zhejiang).

Remarks

The female holotype from China (Taiwan, Wushe, elev. 1150 m) was not examined because the original description (in combination with the additional Chinese specimens listed above) was sufficient for the recognition of this species (Zettel 1989). There are eighteen females agreeing with the description of P. townesi, except for the body length (3.0–4.0 mm vs 3.4–4.5 mm for the types), as well as fourteen males.
