Diagnosis.
This new species is similar to P. pacchanensis sp. n., but can be distinguished by the vestigial eyes (Figs 4A, 6A) (eyes completely reduced in P. pacchanensis sp. n.), beak-shaped embolus (Figs 4 B–D, 5 A–D) (boomerang-shaped in P. pacchanensis sp. n.), and the U-shaped receptacle (Fig. 6C) (globular in P. pacchanensis sp. n.).
Description.
Male (holotype). Total length 1.20. Carapace 0.53 long, 0.49 wide. Abdomen 0.63 long, 0.53 wide. Carapace, chelicerae, labium, and legs yellow, without any pattern (Fig. 4A). Four vestigial eyes. Leg measurements: I 4.42 (1.30, 0.20, 1.38, 0.90, 0.64); II 3.82 (1.13, 0.20, 1.18, 0.75, 0.56); III 2.73 (0.84, 0.18, 0.77, 0.51, 0.43); IV 3.24 (1.03, 0.18, 0.94, 0.63, 0.46).
