1: and 224 Jegs, especially the 1*, largely infuscate with strong bluish metallie glitter; 
abdomen with a median dorsal flavous band, narrower in the posterior than the anterior half, 
fuseous at the sides above, paler below at the sides, with a median fuscous ventral band. 
Closely resembling structurally the specimens identified above as P. beecarii, but with 
the carapace higher, the thoracie portion more suddenly sloped backwards, and the cephalie 
forwards to the anterior line of eyes. The mandibles too are much larger, nearly vertical, 
but widely diverging externally from the base, about two-thirds the length of the carapace, 
narrowed distally, striate, with an anterior longitudinal carina; armed with 4 teeth, 2 small 
and slender close to the base and 2 at the distal end, 1 anterior tubereular close to the 
base of the fang and 1 below and a little behind it; a larger posterior subbifid tooth; fang 
nearly as long at the basal segment, bent almost at a right angle at the base and with its 
tip lightly eurved; its basal half striate. 
Palp slender, a little longer than the carapace, femur strongly curved, not straight 
as in beecarü. Patella and tarsus subequal, the latter only a little longer; tibia longer than 
either, slender, more than four times as long as broad, with an external spical spine; tarsus 
flask-shaped, globular at base, ceylindrical in its distal half, with truncate apex, the basal 
half a little wider than the tibia of palp but narrower than tibia of 1* leg, scopulate at 
apex, with an internal brush-like tuft of hairs; palpal organ as in figure. 
Legs 1, 3, 4, 2, the first more than three times the length of the carapace. 
Measurements in millimetres. Total length 11, length of carapace 5, width 
3.7, length of basal segment of mandible 4, lengt of palp 5.5, of 1* leg 17, of 224 Jes 11.7, 
of 524 14, of 4% 12.2, length of abdomen 6, width 2.5. 
Loc. Gani in Halmahera (type); also a smaller example of apparently the same species 
from Soah Konorah. 
Although strikingly different in the structure and size of the mandibles, this species. 
is undoubtedly closely allied to P. beccarii, for in spite of the greater length of the jaws, 
the number and relative position of the teeth on them is substantially the same in the two 
species. The curvature of the femur of the palp and the slightly greater height of the 
carapace are doubtless correlated with the development of the mandible.
