Additional specimens.

Brewster Co.: Big Bend National Park, Canyon Camp Area no. 4,4700 ft, 29°15'59"N, 103°14'04"W, 1.x.2005, Raber & Riley, 57 (TAMU), X096259 1♀, X0963758 1♂; Presidio Co.: Big Bend Ranch State National Area, Tres Papalotes, 1.xi.1989, 89/027, G Zolnerowich, (TAMU), X0961740 1♀.

Note.

Habitus figures are from adjacent Brewster Co., Texas specimens because the lone male specimen of P. seminotatus from Jeff Davis Co. was directly pinned, and unfortunately broke in half when the genitalic capsule was being dissected. The component body parts were re-glued onto a card and associated with the genitalia, which was imaged for the manuscript.
