Material examined.

1♂, China, Shanghai (Zi-Ka-Wei), 3.ix.1917 , no further data (MNHN). 1♂, China, Hunan, Anxiang, Guandang , 20-21.vii.2012, Ming Zhang leg. ; 1♂, China, Hunan, Anxiang, Guandang , 7.vii.2013, Ming Zhang leg. ; 3♂♂, China, Hubei, Shishou, Gaoling , 8.vii.2013, Ming Zhang leg. ; 1♂, China, Beijing, Beijing Forestry University , 9.vii.2016, Miao Jiang & Yunyun Gao leg. (MBFU).

Remarks.

Wei and Yang (2007) considered P. autochthona as close to S. (Pseudothyrsocnema) caudagalli Böttcher, 1912, but we are here proposing a synonymy with S. (L.) kanoi . Wei and Yang (2007: fig. 72) illustrated the phallus of the holotype of P. autochthona as having a short, arm-like extension arising from the left lateral part of the distiphallus (probably the proximal part of the juxta) and a long, slender, process arising from the right lateral part of the distiphallus (Fig. 6 ). We consider this apparent asymmetry to be an artefact, and possibly an inaccuracy of the original illustration. This could not be confirmed because the holotype of P. autochthona , deposited in CDCP, has not been available for study through ordinary loan.
