Figure 18; Map 3 
Pardosa parvula Banks, 19046:114, Fig. 24 (pi. 6). Holotype male from Altoona, 
Florida (Dobbin), deposited in MCZ, examined. Banks 1910:59. 
Pardosa saxatilis: Petrunkevitch 1911:574 (part). Chamberlin and Ivie 1944:149. 
Muma 1973:180. 
Male. Total length 3.37 ±0.21 mm; carapace 1.84 ±0.09 mm long 
and 1.41 ±0.08 mm wide (19 specimens). Carapace with dark orange 
or dark yellow median and submarginal areas, and with paired 
dark, longitudinal bands flanking median area; margins pale or 
dark. Sternum dark orange suffused with black. Chelicerae dark 
brown, streaked with black; retromargin with 3 teeth. Legs orange 
yellow; femur I dark basally. Abdomen dark orange mottled with 
brown and black mesally, darker laterally; venter dark orange 
brown. Terminal apophysis small, blunt; median apophysis long, 
slender, curved; conductor sinuous along basal margin, with dark, 
shiny knob near tip; patella, tibia, and basal half of cymbium 
covered dorsally with reflective white setae, and remaining palpal 
segments dark (Fig. 18). 
Female. Total length 3.84 ±0.43 mm; carapace 1.95 ±0.15 mm 
long and 1.53 ±0.12 mm wide (20 specimens). General color and 
structure as in male but pale areas on carapace more extensive and 
more distinct, femur I lacking dark area, and dark rings on distal 
segments of legs more distinct. Median septum extending anteriad 
approximately one-half length of epigynum; hood continuing 
posteriad at sides where it defines a raised, tapered, median area; 
copulatory tubes short, slender, with distinct lateral swellings. 
Diagnosis. Males of P. parvula most resemble those of P. saxatilis 
and P. atlantica but differ in having a dorsal cover of reflective 
white setae on the palpal patella, tibia, and basal half of the 
cymbium. Females are not distinguishable from those of saxatilis 
and atlantica except geographically (see map 3). 
Range. Southeastern Louisiana to Florida and southern Georgia. 
Natural History. Males have been collected from January to 
April, and in June, July, September, and October, females from 
January to May, and in August, October, and December. Females 
with egg sacs were collected in January, March, and December. The
