TYPES: Female holotype and male allotype taken in litter at Gold Creek Reservoir, Brookfield , 278309S, 1528559E, Queensland (June 2, 1981; R. Raven, V. Davies), deposited in QMB ( S34327 View Materials ) .

ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is am arbitrary combination of letters.

DIAGNOSIS: This species seems closest to P. kiola (see below), but males have a shorter retrolateral tibial apophysis that is situated more dorsally (figs. 804, 805), and females have the anterior spermathecal lobes more widely separated (figs. 806, 807).

MALE: Total length 1.5. Abdominal dorsum variable (uniformly gray, with gray chevrons, or uniformly pale); anterior legs light orange, posterior legs paler. Palpal fe mur distally incrassate; retrolateral tibial apophysis relatively short, situated almost dorsally (fig. 805); embolus long (fig. 804).

FEMALE: Total length 2.3. Coloration as in male. Epigynum with narrow median septum (fig. 806); anterior spermathecal lobes widely separated (fig. 807).
