Diagnosis. Males of Purcelliana cederbergensis sp. nov. resemble those of P. problematica by the palp with the embolus mostly straight (Figs 31B, E), but are distinguished by the lack of the median tegular projection (present in P. problematica), embolus laminar and robust (tapering in P. problematica) and dRTA massive, gently curved ventrally (Figs 31 D–F). Females are unknown.
