Type specimens. Of G. paynei : ɗ holotype and 2ɗ and 1Ψ paratypes ( VMNH) collected by J. A. Payne, 27 January 1968, at Tifton, Tift Co., Georgia; 19ɗ & Ψ paratypes ( VMNH) taken by same collector at same locality on 12 & 29 October and 18–24 November 1967 and 13 January 1968. Of G. hubrichti : ɗ holotype and 2ɗ & 2Ψ paratypes ( VMNH) and 1ɗ paratype ( ZMUC) collected by L. Hubricht, 24 October 1954, 4 mi (6.4 km) N Evans, Columbia Co., Georgia. I discovered the ZMUC paratype during a visit to that institution in 2005; it was not mentioned in the original description ( Hoffman 1992).

Diagnosis. A large-bodied species characterized by basally fused ag coxal lobes and posterior syncoxal processes; pg telopodite sublinear, without distinct distal bend or curve, margin expanded apically; prefemoral process positioned caudal to telopodite. Cyphopodal gynaspis large, lobes fused for most of lengths ( Figs. 11 – 20).

Distribution. The vicinity of Atlanta and the Savannah River in piedmont Georgia to the northern tier of counties in peninsular Florida and the eastern extremity of the panhandle ( Shelley 2004); in Florida, P. paynei essentially spans the breadth of the northern peninsula, occurring in coastal martime forest on Amelia Island, Nassau Co., to Leon Co. Published records exist from Clarke, DeKalb, Houston, Screven, Taylor, Thomas, & Tift cos., Georgia, and Leon & Nassau cos., Florida ( Hoffman 1992, 1999; Shelley 2001, 2004); the following new records are available.
