Diagnosis: Males of P. flomoi have a short compact palp, a fairly short RTA ending in a round widened tip and provided with two sharp excrescences. Frontal part of the posterior tegular part with sharp front curved outward. Females are recognized by the epigyne in which the internal structure is compact and by the absence of an anterior lip and transverse folds.

Etymology: The species name is a patronym in honour of David Flomo who collected at least seven different species of Crinopseudoa and Pseudocorinna in Guinea and Liberia.

Epigyne ( Figs 54C, D View Figure 54 , 59F View Figure 59 ): featureless dark area with internal structure visible in transparency. Copulatory openings near posterior rim on either side of shallow concavity; copulatory ducts intricate, leading to distinctly separated, multilobed spermathecae. Without lobate ducts.
