All of my specimens have been preserved for a length of time in alcohol, so that the description of color is not as accurate as it should be. The anterior aspect of the head is much lighter than the vertex, which is medianly strongly canaliculate. The antennæ are dilute fulvous, rather longer than in P. Virginiensis and distally, sparsely and shortly pilose. The spinules on the distal ends of the first and second joints of the long and slender feet are robust, but are often obsolete anteriorly. The terminal scutum has several punctæ closely resembling pores. The preanal scale is triangular; it has two little elevations surmounted by a punctum. The male appendages (Fig. 52) are elongate. Their terminal spine is very slender and cylindrical in its proximal portion; distally it is bifid and strongly curved. It is ornamented with a very slender curved basal spinule.
