Type
Holotype ♂: CHINA, Yunnan, Mengla County, Menglun Town, rubber plantation (21°54.684'N, 101°16.319'E, 585 m), 8 April 2007, G. Zheng leg.
Etymology
From Chinese Pinyin san cha (trident), in reference to the trifurcate RTA; noun.
Diagnosis
Similar to Phintella suavisoides Lei & Peng, 2013 (Fig. 36), but can be distinguished by: (1) trifurcate RTA in new species (Fig. 34B) vs. bifurcate in Phintella suavisoides; (2) the terminal seminal duct angle almost 30° (Fig. 34C) vs. about 60° in Phintella suavisoides; (3) the embolus of the new species is accompanied by one digitiform lamellar process (Fig. 34D), lacking in Phintella suavisoides.
