From these species it can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: (1) tip of embolus as wide as the base in ventral view (vs. gradually narrowed in <i>P. contentio</i> and <i>P. amelia</i>); (2) RTA with three apices (vs. only two in <i>P. contentio</i> and <i>P. amelia</i>). Females (Figs 5, 6) of this new species can be distinguished from all other congeners by the combination of following epigynum characters: (1) lateral lobes fused along median line in ventral view; (2) anterior internal duct system twisted into heart-shaped loops.</p> <p> <b>Description.
