hills, and I have no hesitation in regarding the males found in the 
one as belonging to the same species as the females found in the 
other. I have selected the largest male as type. 
o@. Dimensions.—Carapace 5°0 X 3°4 mm.-7'2 X 4'9 mm. 
Sternum 3°0 X 2°4 mm.-2‘'I X 1'°6 mm. Fourth leg ionger than 
first. Carapace about equal in length to patella and tibia of first 
and fourth legs, to tibia and metatarsus with patella or tarsus 
of second and third.' Legs relatively a little longer in small 
than in large specimens. 
Colour.—-Brown, sternum and coxae slightly brighter than 
the rest because less obscured by hair. The anterior metatarsi 
whitish. 
Structure.—The carapace is ovate, broader behind than in 
front; it is smoothly rounded, free from tubercles, but clothed with 
hair. The anterior median eyes are as large as the anterior laterals. 
The fovea is transversely linear. 
The posterior sigilla of the sterynum ace marginal. 
The Jabium is armed with teeth so small as to be distinct 
only under a much higher magnification than is usually necessary. 
The patella of the falp is swollen distally and the tibia 
proximally. The tarsus is bilobed. The palpal organ is shown in 
pl. xv, fig. 3b; its stvle is slender, tapering and spirally curved. 
The first two pairs of /egs are unarmed except for the usual 
apical spine on the metatarsi,” the apophysis and its accompanying 
stout spine on the tibia of the first leg (see pl. xv, fig. 3a) and 
one or two apical spines (not always found) on the tibia of the 
second leg. ‘he metatarsus of the first leg is lobed on the outer 
side at the base (fig. 3a). The tibia and metatarsus of the third 
and fourth legs are armed ventrally with 2-3 transverse series of 
2-4 spines each. ‘The first tarsal scopula is undivided, the second 
very narrowly, the third and fourth more (but not very) widely 
divided. 
The metatarsal scopula of the first legs is a little less dense 
than the tarsal, it is broad distally and narrow proximally, but 
extends over rather more than the distal half of the joint. On 
the second legs it is similar, but less obscured by long hair; on 
the third and fourth it is much smaller and confined to the sides of 
the distal part of the joint. 
The male of this species appears to differ from P. millardi, 
Pocock (the only male hitherto described in the genus) in the 
denser metatarsal scopula of the first legs, and in the presence of 
a small apical metatarsal scopula on the fourth legs. 
2. Dimensions.—Carapace up to 6:0 X 4'°5 mm., sternum 
up to 2°77 X 255mm. The fourth leg longer than the first as in 
the male; the pieces which are about equal in length to the 
carapace in the male seem to be a little shorter in the female. 
| These joints are a trifle longer in the second than in the third leg—slightly 
.so in the type specimen, decidedly so in the other two, which are much smaller. 
2 Occasionally another near it in the second legs.
