Material examined. RUSSIA: Sakhalin Isl., CE part, Leonidovka River, 8 km SE of Leonidovo Vill., 49°16.506'N, 142°58.390'E, 9 Aug 2001, 11 Ƌ 23 ♀, leg. Yu. M. Marusik (CYM).

Diagnosis. Among four species of the magnum -group, P. longjiangense and P. magnum have developed eyes with black rings around. P. longjiangense can be distinguished from P. magnum by fully developed eyes (Fig. 25A) and Fe III–IV without dorsal spines.

Description. ♀ (from Sakhalin Island, Russia, 9 Aug 2001). Carapace orange-brown, 0.90 mm wide, eyes normal, PME–PME = 1.0 (Fig. 25A). Abdomen brown-grey. Fe I–II with one dorsal spine, Fe I with one prolateral spine. Ti I with one prolateral spine, Ti I–II with one retrolateral spine. Tm Mt I = 0.30, Mt I/CW = 1.17.

Epigynum with lateral wings (Fig. 25C). Copulatory ducts are very long, with ascending, descending, and again ascending part (Figs. 25D–F).

Ƌ (together with female). The AP is shorter than wide, with a convex upper edge, the space between AP and PA very narrow. Embolus very long with a broad velum. Velum with a pigmented spot (Fig. 25B).

Variation. Ƌ ♀. Carapace 0.84–0.96 mm wide. Tm Mt I = 0.27–0.31, Mt I/CW = 1.10–1.17 (n = 6).

Ecology. Under stones on river banks (Eskov & Marusik 1993), in mosses and leaf litter (Tanasevitch 2012).

Global distribution. Russian Far East, northeastern China after Tanasevitch (2012), Marusik et al. (2001) and this paper. See Fig. 26.
