Male holotype from USA, Alabama, Jackson Co., Sheldons Cave, 1 mi N Scottsboro [34°4rN, 86°02'W], (S. Peck), in AMNH. Etymolog. Dixie is a nickname for the Southern United States, with Alabama as the "Heart of Dixie" due to its geographical location within the region; noun in apposition. Diagnosis. Distinguished from similar species (all Pholcus from TGA area) by details of uncus and ap- pendix (Fig. 1879); from other congeners also by straight procursus (cf Fig. 1877) and weakly sclero- tized epigynum (similar to Ph. kingi). Male (holotype). Total body length , carapace width Leg 1: ( + + + + ), tibia 2: , tibia 3: , tibia 4: ; tibia 1 L/d: 97. Habitus similar to Ph. kingi (c£ Figs. 1771, 1772). Carapace ochre-yellow with large brown mark partly divided medially, ocular area and clypeus not darkened, sternum ochre-yellow, margins and behind labium brown, legs light brown, tips of femora and tibiae slightly lighter, darker rings on femora subdis- tally and in patella area, abdomen ochre-gray, with very indistinct darker internal spots visible through cuticle. Distance PME-PME 205 fim, diameter PME 140 pm, distance PME-ALE 35 pm, distance AME- AME 45 pm, diameter AME 85 pm. Ocular area moderately elevated, few slightly stronger hairs pos- teriorly. No thoracic furrow; clypeus unmodified. Chelicerae as in Ph. muralicola (c£ Fig. 1913), distal frontal apophyses with three modified hairs each. Sternum wider than long (), unmodified. Palps in general as in Ph. kingi (cf Figs. 1876, 1877), procursus apparently with one short t
