TABLE 1. Structural differences between Paracyphononyx pilisquamatus Liu & Ma, sp. nov. and P. alienus (Smith, 1879), female and male.

P. pilisquamatus Liu & Ma, sp. nov.		P. alienus (Smith, 1879)
a	Metasomal terga 1–3 with squamiform pubescence (Fig. 1F)	Metasomal terga without squamiform pubescence
b	Ratio of malar space to mandible width at base = 5–6:12.	Ratio of malar space to mandible at their base = 5:8
c	POD:OOD = 11:7–9.	POD:OOD = 10:7.
d	Ratio of SMC2 to SMC3 on vein M = 1:1 (Figs 1E, 2F).	Ratio of SMC2 to SMC3 on vein M = 15–20:25
e	Paramere short, aedeagus with distinct, transparent membrane band apically, length of transparent membranous band equal to aedeagus (Fig. 2H, I).	Paramere extending far beyond apex of digitus volsellaris, aedeagus with a very short, transparent membranous band apically, length of transparent membranous band about 0.2 × aedeagus.
