ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a patronym in honor of Janet Beccaloni (BMNH), in recognition of her assistance, with the Simon and Keyserling collections in London, to all the PBI participants.
DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of
P. rollardae
but have a narrower, more angular distal prong on the embolus (figs. 99–104); females have a more sinuous sclerite connecting the apodemes (figs. 98, 105, 106).
MALE (PBI_OON 987, figs. 96, 99–104): Total length 2.12. ALE separated by their radius to diameter. Sternum surface coarsely reticulate, microsculpture everywhere but front. Distal tip of endites with small, triangular, anteriorly directed process. Dorsal scutum not fused to epigastric scutum. Postepigastric scutum long, almost rectangular. Leg spination: femur I p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2; II v4-4-1p; metatarsi: I v2-2- 1p; II v3-0-2. Distal prong of embolus with two sharp bends, distally narrowed, proximal prong extremely narrow.
FEMALE (PBI_OON 992, figs. 97, 98, 105, 106): Total length 2.40. Dorsal scutum covering more than 3/4 of abdomen length, more than 1/2 to most of abdomen width. Postepigastric scutum widely hexagonal, covering about 1/2 of abdomen length. Leg spination: femora I, II p0-0-2, r1-1-1; tibiae: I v4-4-2; II v4-4-1p; metatarsi: I v2-2-2; II v3-0- 2. Anterior genitalic process very long, very narrow throughout its length.
