Diagnosis: Males of P. evertsi are characterized by the broad parallel-sided, sinuous RTA, the long membranous MA, and the very large FC with bifid tip. Females are easily recognized by the epigyne with a large, oval, central concavity prolonged towards the sinuous posterior margin.
Etymology: The species name is a patronym in honour of James Everts, who made important spider collections in the Ivory Coast.
Description: Male (holotype, MRAC 159546). Total l 5.30.
Carapace chestnut brown, covered by tiny warts forming a network with polygonal meshes. Carapace l: 2.35; w: 1.95. Fovea deep, clearly delimited. Sternum warted, l: 1.10; w: 1.25. Abdomen greyish brown, with a large, brown dorsal scutum covering 80% of do abdominal surface area.
Legs orange-brown, covered by fine warts.

Male palp ( Fig. 17A, B View Figure 17 ): RTA large, sinuous, parallel sided; PTA short, finger-shaped; embolus fairly small, curved, tapered gradually from broad knobbed base to thin distal part; proximal part of tegulum with large tooth-shaped PAPT and small tooth-shaped CAPT; large FC originating at base of embolus, very broad, divided into two fine prongs at tip; MA broad, transparent, curved around tip of FC.
Female (paratype, MRAC 214291). Total l 6.10.
Carapace as in male, l: 2.34; w: 1.93. Sternum warted, l: 1.15; w: 1.30. Abdomen greyish brown, without do scutum. Legs orange-brown, covered by fine warts.
Leg spination: fe: I pl 0-0-1-1-1 rlv 0-0-1-1-1; III do 0-0-1; IV do 0-0-1; ti: I ve 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2; II ve 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2; IV rl 0-1-0 rlv 0-1-0; mt: I ve 2-2-2-2; II ve 2-2-2-2; III ve 0-2-0; IV ve 1-1-1.
Epigyne ( Figs 17C–E View Figure 17 , 38J View Figure 38 ): with large oval anterior depression prolonged backwards to small central recurved fold, on either side with dark area of spermathecae seen in transparency; posterior margin sinuous with central indentation. Copulatory ducts short, leading backward to large, globular, widely separated spermathecae. Without lobate ducts.
