Genus Pristidia Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001

Diagnosis. Pristidia species can be easily recognized by the slender body (distinctively long and cylindrical abdomen), in association with the characteristic genital organs. The male palp has a claw-like embolus. The female epigyne has a relatively large and roundish disc, through which spermathecae and bursae are prominently visible; a dark insemination ducts running parallel between spermathecae and bursae; spermathecae located anteriorly and connected to postiorly bursae via short ducts; bursae reveal a creased, ribbed appearance, sandwiched between ventral epigynal plate and semi-translucent dorsal plate ( Deeleman-Reinhold 2001).

Distribution. South East Asia ( Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, Java and Borneo) and China (Jiangxi). The new record presented here extends the known range of this genus to the north.
