Material examined. 1 ɗ, 4 Ψ (ov) ( SMNS ZIa 3365), Egypt, Red Sea, Koseir, leg. Klunzinger, 1883; 3 ɗ, 10 Ψ (2 ov), 3 juv. (severely damaged) ( SMNS ZIa 3374), Egypt, Red Sea, Koseir, leg. Klunzinger, 1884.

Measurements. Largest ɗ 4.9 x 4.6 mm; largest Ψ 6.4 x 6.4 mm.

Remarks. The animals described and depicted by Lewinsohn (1969) as P. carinipes correspond to P. m i l i - taris (Heller), a similar species, which had not been previously reported for the Red Sea. Lewinsohn (1974) corrected this error and provided a new detailed description of P. carinipes .

Distribution. Western Indian Ocean, including the Red Sea. In the western Pacific from the Ryukyu, Ogasawara, and Mariana Islands.
