Description

Additions to the description. Female. The total length of our female is similar to that given for the type specimen, however the legs in our specimen are 50 % shorter than the legs measured in the type specimen; the posterior legs are longer than the anterior legs unlike the type material. The underside of the abdomen has small iridescent scales, like scandens . Fig. 11 a View Figure 11 a , c View Figure 11 c shows the vulva, cleared in clove oil, viewed from ventral and ventrolateral. The bird’s neck-shaped curve tilts in ventral direction. The funnel-shaped openings (Fig. 11 c View Figure 11 c ) are the atrium (a), the copulatory opening is at the bottom of the funnel. As in Chrysilla . the atrium is delineated by an upper and a lower projection of the duct wall suggesting an opened birds’ beak. In male P. flavumi , according the description the embolar tegular branch is shorter than the adjacent tegulum; this would agree with the concept that during copulation, the bird’s beak (the atrium) lodges the tip of the etb and swallows the embolus through the copulatory opening whereas the more anteriorly situated cavity on the inner birds’ neck curve (Fig. 11 d View Figure 11 d : ibc) is spatially correctly situated to receive the tegular tip and at the same time fix the base on the posterior pocket (see sketch of P. scandens , Fig. 1 c View Figure 1 c ). Measurements. Total length 4.50, Carapace 2.0 long, 1.65 wide, 1.00 high. Abdomen 2.50 long. Legs: I 3.75 (1.15 – 0.65 – 0.85 - 0.60 – 0.50), leg II 3.70 (1.15 – 0.60 – 0.90 – 0.55 - 0.50), leg III 4.30 (1.40 – 0.60 – 0.90 – 1.00 – 0.40), Leg IV 4.30 (1.50 – 0.55 – 0.85 – 0.90 – 0.50), palp 0.70 – 0.60 – 0.30 - 0.35. Epigyne 0.25 wide, 0.30 long.
