Complementary description of the female and remarks. Males and females of this species have been described recently ( Villarreal and García 2012), but the spermathecae were not described. The spermathecae of P. guipongai have the general pattern of the genus with two lateral finger-like and curved lobes and absence of the medial lobes. The chitinized arc is mask-shaped and 3 times wider than long, and lacks a gonopod.
