short, the first femur but Httle longer than the cephalothorax. 

 The male palpus has the tarsal hook pointed at the tip, and it is 

 more pointed at the base than in the other species. (Fig. 19, 3.) 

 The basal process of the palpal organ has the slender portion bent 

 in the middle at nearly a right angle, and its poiht has a tooth 

 turned outward as in alboventris , (Fig. 19, 4.) The epigynum has 

 the two processes straight and of middle length.

In size, colour and markings resembling P. glacialis, but dif- 

 fering from it in the epigynum and male palpi. The epigynum is 

 narrow like that of atra, but the middle lobe is shorter and wider 

 and widened at the end as in sternalis. (Fig. 20, 3.) There is no large 

 depressed area as in glacialis, and there is hardly a trace of the 

 anterior pits. The palpal organ has the basal process somewhat 

 crescent-shaped, the lower point being shorter and the upper more 

 pointed than in glacialis. (Fig. 20, 4.) The small process on the outer 

 side which supports the end of the tube is less pointed than in 

 glacialis. The Jarsus is longer and more pointed, and the tibia 

 less thickened than in glacialis, and lighter coloured and less 

 thickly co\ered with hair.
