ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.

DIAGNOSIS: Males share sharply pointed clypeal extensions with P. pinzoni (figs. 643, 644) but have a more club-shaped embolus (figs. 646–649); females have a wide anterior genitalic process (figs. 653–655).

MALE (PBI_OON 613, figs. 643–649): Total length 1.51. Elevated portion of pars cephalica appears reticulate. Chilum tiny, triangular, clypeus with pair of sharply pointed projections, each situated at about half of paturon width. Inner margin of paturon excavated, with wide, obliquely directed, heavily sclerotized spine. Endites with ventral and dorsal processes long, narrow. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-1; tibiae: I v4-3-0, II v4-2-0; metatarsi: I v2-2-1p, II v2- 2-0. Palps symmetrical; embolus long, originating on basal half of bulb, club shaped.

FEMALE (PBI_OON 613, figs. 650–655): Total length 1.69. Chilum small. Postepigastric scutum covering about one-third of abdomen length, fused to epigastric scutum. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-2; r0-1-0; tibiae: I v4-4-1p, II v4-2-0; metatarsi: I v2-2-1p, II v2- 0-2. Anterior genitalic process wide, with heavily sclerotized lateral edges.
