Systematics: This species was first described by Wu (1984) based on specimens collected from Mt. Jiuhuashan, Anhui province, China. Later, Hendricks and Kosztarab (1999) redescribed the species based on specimens collected from Japan. The specimens of P. jiuhuaensis from China have multilocular disc pores ventrally on the last abdominal segments and have bag-like metathoracic legs 3.2-4.0 times larger than the spiracles, whereas, according to Hendricks and Kosztarab, eht specimens from Japan lack multilocular pores ventrally on the posterior abdominal segments and the bag-like metathoracic legs are only about 2.5 times large than the spiracles. Wu & Lu (3012) determined that this species was different from P. jiuhuaensis and should be considered a new species. However, Wu & Lu (2012) declined to describe this new species.
