Etymology:
Named after the popular Chilean style of serving meat dishes, ‘a lo pobre’. A noun in apposition.
Diagnosis:
Males of this species can be identified solely by the DTA; in lateral view, the DTA appears thumb like (
Figs 58C
,
59C
), much larger than in
P. ariasbohartae
(
Fig. 71D
) or
P. torobayo
(
Fig. 55C
), blunted and dark, projected dorsally, perpendicular to frontal plane; in apical view, the DTA appears to have two small lobes (
Figs 58D
,
59D
).
Description: Male
: based on
holotype
. Markings as in
Figure 57A, B
, two yellow anterolateral bands with one pair of median spots. Total length 5.03. Carapace length 1.27 times width. Clypeus height 2.5 times AME diameter. ALE diameter 2 times AME diameter. Chelicera length 5.2 times clypeus height. Sternum as long as wide. Femur I 1.41 times carapace length. Leg formula 1423. Cymbium length 2.21 times length of bulb. Cheliceral promargin with four teeth and one denticle. Leg spination as follows: palp: femur d1-1- 3, patella d1-1, tibia d0-1(r)-0, tarsus p0-0-1, r0-0-1; leg I: femur d1-1-1(r)-1(p)-2, patella d1-1, tibia d1(r)- 0-0, p0-0-1-0, v2-2-2, metatarsus p0-0-1, v2-2-2; leg

holotype from Osorno, CASENT9044647. A, dorsal view. B, ventral view.
II: femur d1-2-1-1(r)-1(p)-2, patella d1-1, tibia d1(r)- 0-0, p0-1-1-0, r0-0-1-0, v2-2-2, metatarsus d0-0-1, p0-1-0, r0-1-1, v2-2-2; leg III: d1-1(p)-2-2-2, patella d1-1, tibia d1(r)-0-1-0, p0-1-0-1-0, r0-1-1-0, v2-2-2, metatarsus d2-0-2, p0-1-0, r-0-1-0, v2-2-2, tarsus r0-1; leg IV: femur d1-1-1(p)-1(r)-2, patella d1-1, tibia d1(r)-0-1-0, p0-1-0-1-0, r0-1-0-1-0, v2-2-2, metatarsus d2-0-2, p0-1-0, r0-1-0, v2-2-2, tarsus r0-1. Palp as in
Figures 58
and
59
, similar to
P. faberi
, with a few noticeable exceptions. DTA is a thumb-like blunted projection oriented straight back dorsally (
Figs 58A, C
,
59A
), oriented dorsoapically in
P. ariasbohartae
or
P. torobayo
. RTA thicker, extending out more perpendicular to tibia with thicker apex, blunted, with darkened tooth-like point on anterior margin directed anteriorly (
Figs 58B, D
,
59B
). Embolus base longer, reaching past midline of bulb, anterior margin smooth, not notched (
Fig. 59B
). Embolus, VTA and conductor like
P. faberi
. Paracymbium present, knob like (
Fig. 59C
).
Leg measurements (right): leg I 13.35 (3.50, 4.40, 3.50, 1.95); leg II 11.30 (3.10, 3.55, 2.95, 1.70); leg III 10.25 (2.85, 3.05, 3.00, 1.35); leg IV 13.30 (3.50, 3.95, 4.05, 1.80); palp 5.65 (2.10, 1.45, –, 2.10).
Distribution:
