Unknown.

Distribution

China (Fujian, Yunnan, Zhejiang).

Remarks

The holotype from China (Fujian, Wuyi Mt.) is not available for study and the interpretation here is based on the original description and the additional Chinese specimens listed above. There are nineteen females agreeing with the description of P. palliscapus except for the body length (3.8–4.9 mm vs 4.4–5.5 mm for the types). In addition, there are twenty-six males agreeing with the description of P. palliscapus .
