Dondale & Redner — Genus Pardosa 
97 
Diagnosis. Specimens of P. portoricensis differ from those of the 
other West Indian species in the milvina group by the expanded 
distal process of the median apophysis, by the longitudinally banded 
abdominal dorsum, by the long epigynum (ratio of epigynal length 
to greatest septal width more than 2:1), by the anteriorly tapered 
median septum, and by the slender copulatory tubes and narrowly 
separated spermathecae. 
Localities. Puerto rico: San Juan; Mayaguez; Martin Pena; 
Puerto Nuevo Point, near Vega Baja; Embarcadero Point, near 
Luquillo. virgin islands: St. Croix: Chistiansted. antigua: Lignum 
Vitae Bay: Reed Point, Jolly Beach. 
Range. Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and western Antigua. 
Natural History. The only available male was collected with 
females in October. Other females were collected in January to 
March and in June. Egg sacs were found in June, and one of the 
October females carried young. Petrunkevitch (1929) collected 
specimens on the “sandy plains” of the northern coast of Puerto 
Rico.
