Diagnosis: Males of P. natalis are characterized by the sinuous RTA, a thin embolus, and the very large MA and FC as well as the proximal part of the tegulum that is provided with a pointed frontal prong (CAPT). Females are recognized by the epigyne with a large roughly A-shaped dark pattern and sinuous posterior margin. Etymology: The species name is a noun in apposition. It refers to the fact that the species was recognized on the birthday of one of the authors. Description: Male ( holotype , MRAC 112910). Total l 5.00.
