Based on a physical argument, we derive a new analytic formula for the amplitude of density perturbation at the threshold of primordial black hole formation in the universe dominated by a perfect fluid with the equation of state $p=w\rho c^{2}$ for $w\ge 0$. The formula gives $\delta^{\rm UH}_{H c}=\sin^{2}[\pi \sqrt{w}/(1+3w)]$ and $\tilde{\delta}_{c}=[3(1+w)/(5+3w)]\sin^{2}[\pi\sqrt{w}/(1+3w)]$, where $\delta^{\rm UH}_{H c}$ and $\tilde{\delta}_{c}$ are the amplitude of the density…
