Comments

Xie (1993) described two specimens of Phintella collected from Hunan, China as P. aequipeiformis . After re-examining, however, the specimens were considered to be misidentified and are described as P. wandae sp. nov. in the present work. The true P. aequipeiformis was found in Guangxi, China, and is photographed in the present work.
