Diagnosis. The nearly straight anterior row of eyes clearly dis- 
tinguishes this species from P. undulata and P. dubia which have 
strongly recurved anterior rows. It most resembles the closely re- 
lated P. brevipes in general body form, but is distinguished from it 
by the pattern of the dorsum, which in the latter species, there is 
on the abdomen, a dark, dorsal, median band present with straight 
or nearly straight borders, and there are light dorsolateral bands with 
distinct borders. Additionally, both sexes have proportionally longer 
legs in P. mira.
