Diagnosis

Male differs from P. jara , sp. nov. by the palpal organ morphology with not serrated PI ( Figure 10A,B View Figure 10 ). Female differs from P. vulpinus by the absence of a digitiform projection on the spermathecal receptacles, and absence of lobes on the lateral spheroid chambers of the seminal receptacles ( Figure 10D View Figure 10 ).
