CHINA: YUNNAN: 1 ♁, Baoshan City, Mangkuan Town, Baihualing N. R., 25°18′N 98°47′E, alt. 1750 m, 24.iv.2013, Wen-Xuan Bi leg. (SHNU); 3 ♀♀, Gongshan County, Qiqi, alt. 1900 m, 2.vii.2010, Liang Tang leg. (SHNU).</p> <p>Measurements. Male. BL: 11.1 mm, FL: 6.7 mm. HL: 1.83 mm, HW: 2.20 mm, EYL: 0.53 mm, TL: 1.06 mm, PL: 2.17 mm, PW: 1.83 mm, EL: 2.64 mm, EW: 2.50 mm. HW/HL: 1.21, TL/EYL: 2.00, PL/PW: 1.18, EL/EW: 1.06. Female. BL: 5.8–6.2 mm, FL: 5.8–6.2 mm.

China (Yunnan).</p> <p>Remarks. The collecting locality of the male specimen is about 40 km away from the type locality in the southern part of Gaoligongshan Mt. The specimen fits the original description in all characters but the area of sensory peg setae on the paramere (Figs 7–9) is distinctly longer than in the holotype, which should be considered as variability of the species. The females examined above were collected from the northern part of Gaoligongshan Mt. and correspond with the original description in all characters.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A3987966D4DFF8FFF3AFF36FDB9FB42	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is named in honor of Mr. Wenxuan Bi who collected some specimens of the new species.</p> <p>Distribution. China (Xizang: Motuo County).</p> <p>Remarks. The new species is similar to P. taungmae Schillhammer, 2018 from Myanmar, but can be distinguished from it by antennal segments VIII–XI being creamy white (segments IX–XI creamy white in P. taungmae), abdominal tergite VI without a pair of oblique basal accessory lines, and abdominal segment VIII being entirely yellow (apical third blackish in P. taungmae). In appearance, it is also similar to two Indian species: P. affinis Cameron, 1944 and P. caeruleipennis Cameron, 1944 and four Nepalese species: P. kleebergi Schillhammer, 2012, P. schawalleri Schillhammer, 2012, P. spoerrii Schillhammer, 2012 and P. kucerai Schillhammer, 2014, but can be distinguished from them by the well delimited yellow apical margin of the elytra; from P. caeruleipennis, P. kleebergi, P. kucerai and P. spoerrii also by abdominal tergite VI without a pair of oblique basal accessory lines; from P.affinis also by the smaller eyes with TL/EYL larger than 1.4 (less than 1.3 in P.affinis); and from P. caeruleipennis also by the black legs (reddish in P. caeruleipennis).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/5A3987966D4DFF8FFEECFB60FBF7F7C5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
