Diagnosis
(male). Metepimeron yellow (
Fig. 1
). Femora entirely yellow (
Fig. 1
). Tibia I not compressed (
Fig. 1
). Tarsus I (
Fig. 42
) brown, except It
1
yellow: It

with 2 dorsal bristles at apex; It
3
twice as long as It
4
; It
4–5
laterally flattened, with It
5
slightly longer than It
4
and with posteroventral row of curved setae. Tarsus II unmodified. Tarsus III (
Fig. 43
): IIIt
3–4
with posterior and posteroventral rows of setae decreasing in size towards apex.
Remarks.
Species with “distal joints of male fore tarsus partly compressed, whitish” run to couplet 2 of
Robinson’s (1967)
key. According to the original description and after examination of photographs of the
type
(NHMW), that is not the case for
P. albipalpus
, which has brown fore tarsus. Based on characters listed in couplet 1 of Robinson’s key, we suspect that
P. albipalpus
and
P. latipes
were simply switched in the key entries.
