Norr.—There are evidently also good distinctive characters (among others) to be drawn from the comparative 
length of the legs, the width of the posterior row of eyes, and the comparative length of protarsus w.; but 
the measuring of the legs and the tabulation of other characters must be left to whomsoever has leisure to 
undertake a monograph of the genus. 
P. fulgidus, C. L, Koch, and P. montivagus, Peckh., are unknown to me, and they cannot be included in the 
Table. The characters of the male of P. mexicanus, Peckh., are taken from his figure.
