Diagnosis.
Ocularium tuberculate. Mesotergal area III with large conical paramedian tubercles, close to each other (Figs 5D, E View Figure 5 ) (in P. propespelunca , P. flumencaurimarensis , P. goodnightorum , P. locumida , and P. morritomacairensis ocularium unarmed and mesotergal area III with separated conical/mammilliform tubercles).
Description.
Holotype (ICN-Ao-1490*). - Measurements: CL: 1.2, AL: 1.8, CW: 2.0, AW: 2.6, BaCh: 0.4, IOD: 0.9; Leg I (Tr: 0.3, Fe: 4.0, Pa: 0.9, Ti: 3.0, Mt: 4.3, Ta: 1.7); Leg II (Tr: 0.4, Fe: 9.5, Pa: 1.1, Ti: 8.0, Mt: 10.1, Ta: 3.5); Leg III (Tr: 0.7, Fe: 8.0, Pa: 1.6, Ti: 5.0, Mt: 9.0, Ta: 1.9); Leg IV (Tr: 0.9, Fe: 10.1, Pa: 1.3, Ti: 7.0, Mt: 10.3, Ta: 2.8). - Dorsum: Anterior and lateral margins of DS smooth. Ocularium with granules (Figs 5B, D View Figure 5 , 6A View Figure 6 ). Mesotergum delimited, divided into four areas, mostly smooth. Area I divided into two halves, each one with one small tubercle; area II-IV undivided; II with a pair of medium-sized tubercles close to the medial axis of the body (Fig. 6A, B View Figure 6 ); III with a pair of conical wide tubercles close to each other (Figs 5D, E View Figure 5 , 6B View Figure 6 ); IV with four small tubercles. Posterior border of scutum straight, with some tubercles. Free tergites I-II and anal operculum with some tubercles (Fig. 6A View Figure 6 ). - Venter: Coxae I-IV with some granules (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ). Coxa I with one medial tubercle on the anterior margin, a longitudinal row of tubercles at the medial region, a group of three tubercles on the anterodistal margin, and two tubercles close to the posterodistal margin (Fig. 6C View Figure 6 ); coxa II longer than coxa I; coxa III longer than I and II; coxa IV backward projected (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ). Sternites with a row of small tubercles each. Stigmatic area smooth. Stigmata large, oval and transverse (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ). - Chelicerae: Segment I rectangular, with well-marked bulla (Figs 5B View Figure 5 , 6A View Figure 6 ), one ectal subdistal tubercle, and two tubercles on the proximal border (Fig. 4B View Figure 4 ). Chelicera swollen (Figs 5B, E View Figure 5 , 6B View Figure 6 ). Hand with some sparse setiferous tubercles of different sizes in the fronto mesal portion, and a frontal row of small setiferous tubercles extending from the mesal to the ectal face of the chelicera close to the base of the fingers (Fig. 6D View Figure 6 ). Fixed finger with the inner surface irregularly dentated. Movable finger with one trapezoid, sub-basal tooth and with the inner surface dentate (Fig. 6D View Figure 6 ). - Pedipalps: Longer than DS length, smooth. Tr ventrally with one subapical setiferous tubercle. Fe with a ventromesal row of five setiferous tubercles (the third shorter than the others), and one large ventroectal setiferous tubercle in the distal portion (Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ). Pa with one large mesal setiferous tubercle. Ti ectal iII, mesal IIi. Ta ectal IIi, mesal IIi (Figs 5 View Figure 5 , 6B View Figure 6 ). - Legs: Leg I smooth, legs II-IV with minute granules. Leg I filiform, the rest, getting steadily thicker from leg II to IV (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ). Fe IV three times DS length. Tarsal formula: 9(3)-9(3)/20(3)-20(3)/8-9/8-8. - Penis: LP short and depressed, half-moon shaped, with anterolateral sharp corners dorsally pointed (Fig. 6E-G View Figure 6 ). Malleus carrying the branched MS-A-B (three pairs of MS-A and one pair of MS-B); MS-B at the same level of MS-A1 (Fig. 6G View Figure 6 ). MS-D1-2 long, located in a vertical line on a keel between the LP and the base of the stylus (Fig. 6G View Figure 6 ). MS-E2 large and branched (Fig. 6F View Figure 6 ). Stylus sinuous, surpassing the lamina parva, narrower at distal region, tip irregular (Fig. 6G View Figure 6 ). - Color (in ethanol): Carapace and mesotergum reticulated Deep Brown (56) on Brownish Orange (54). Area III tubercles Brownish Black (65). Pedipalps and chelicerae Strong Orange Yellow (68). Posterior border and free tergites Dark Brown (59). Legs I-IV Deep Orange Yellow (69). - Female: Unknown.
