Diagnosis.

This species differs from other congeners, except for P. nagarat sp. nov., by lacking a median apophysis and a conductor and having a tegular process and a long scape (Fig. 7A View Figure 7 , B View Figure 7 and F View Figure 7 ). It is similar to P. nagarat in the shape of the bulb and the configuration of the vulva, but it can be distinguished by the lack of a median apophysis, a tegular process that is shaped like the head of a sparrow (Fig. 7B View Figure 7 ) and by the rugose, finger-like scape and the more widely separated spermathecae (Fig. 7A-F View Figure 7 ) vs. having a median apophysis and a pyramidal tegular process, a broader, triangular parmula and spermathecae are closer (Fig. 9A-F View Figure 9 ).

Description.

See Figs 6A-F View Figure 6 and 7A-F View Figure 7 and Miller et al. (2009).
