This would indeed be P. stylata but I have experienced on several occasions that the relative lenghts of the parameres are variable. Shatalkin's figure for stylata appears to show the at maximum length difference. As there still is no reliable character to separate females I have the uncanny feeling that it is still possible that these group of three species represents just one single species with variation in the relative lengths of the parameres.
