Diagnosis. Limited to caves in the head- waters of Mud Creek, Jackson County, Alabama. Similar to valentinei but the combination of the elongate thin sperma- theca without a crest and the strongly curved aedeagus with an upturned tip serves to distinguish this species from P. valentinei. Description. Length mm. Width mm. Shape oval. Head width, from antennal base to margin across eye, times width of eye. Antennae (Fig. 105) flattened, thin and long, reaching into first third of elytra when laid back; seg- ment III clearly longer than II; in profile IV, V, and VI gradually widening and shortening; VII elongate conical; VIII longer than wide. Pronotum sides parallel in hind half; times as wide as long; striae on disc present but faint. Elytra times as long as wide at base. Mesosternal carina medium height, notch absent or vaguely present. Aedeagus (Fig. 26) strongly bent in lateral view, broad at base, narrowing gradually to apex, tip upturned. Spermatheca (Fig. 148) shaft of medium.
