Chrysso hejunhuai: Barrion et al. 2013: 35, fig. 39 A – H (male). Material examined. 2 males, 2 females (LJ 201800703, 201800708, 201800769, 201800770): China – Hainan Province • Wuzhishan City, Shuiman Town, Wuzhishan; 18.8825°N, 109.6609°E; elev. 140 m; 15 April 2018; F. X. Liu and Z. C. Li leg. 1 female (HB-IV-180108): Hubei Province • Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Xuan’en County, Changtanhe Dong Autonomous Town; 30.0322°N, 109.6517°E; elev. 725 m; 11 August 2018; J. Chen et al. leg. 1 female (LJ 201904331): Yunnan Province • Xishuangbanna, Mengla County, Wangtianshu; 21.6250°N, 101.5872°E; elev. 710 m; 25 November 2019; J. Liu leg. Diagnosis. See above diagnosis under Physcoa scintillans Thorell, 1895, comb. rev. Description. See Chotwong and Tanikawa (2013). Remarks. This species is transferred to Physcoa based on its similarity to the type species: i. e. prolateral distal cymbium with a projection, cymbial hood located on retrolateral distal part of cymbium, embolus C-shaped, epigyne with a wide and short atrium, and the copulatory ducts spherical and narrower than spermathecae. This species is probably a junior synonym of P. angula (Tikader, 1970), comb. nov. from India, based on similarities in somatic characters and copulatory organ morphology (three black spots on the opisthosoma, copulatory ducts located between the spermathecae fig. 8 a, b in Tikader 1970; figs 481–488 in Sen et al. 2015; figs 1–11 in Sekhar and Sunil Jose 2020). However, P. angula lacks clear photos, and the types are unavailable for examination. Further research is needed to resolve this issue conclusively. Distribution. China (Hubei, new provincial record; Yunnan, new provincial record; Fujian; Hainan; Hunan; Guizhou; Taiwan), Thailand.
