Male holotype .-Carapace 1 .8 mm long, 1 .32 mm wide, with the usual tuning-fork pattern and a submarginal light band but the marginal pigment is very scant y and discontinuous. (Fig. 67). Ventral surface of coxae, sternum, etc . light, unpigmente d except for a patch of pigment in the center of the venter. Lower margin of the furrow o f the chelicerae with three unequal teeth, the middle tooth the largest, the lateral tooth th e smallest; middle tooth closer to the lateral than to the median. Anterior eye row narrower than the median row, procurved . The anterior median eyes are closer to the laterals than to each other and are twice as large . Clypeus height slightly less than the diameter of an anterior median eye . The median apophysis of the palp is basically similar to that of P. aspirans but the distal flange (Fig. 69) is much larger Female .—Carapace 2 .0 mm long, 1 .45 mm wide with submarginal light band and tuning-fork pattern (Fig . 68). Anterior eye row narrower than median row, procurved ; anterior median eyes closer to laterals than to each other and twice as large . Lower margin of the furrow of the chelicerae with three unequal teeth, the middle tooth the largest and slightly closer to the lateral than the median ; median and lateral teeth about the same size . Clypeus height about equal to the diameter of a n anterior median eye . The epigynum of P. iviei resembles that of P. aspirans. Legs 4123, distinctly banded .
