. Bonner zoologische Monographien. Zoology. BONNER ZOOLOGISCHE MONOGRAPHIEN Nr. 58/2011 proximal apophyses frontally and laterally and distal apophyses, palpal trochanter apophyses medium long, often with short retrolateral branch, palpal tibia with prolatero-ventral modification, procursus with two dorsal spines, appendix with branch, epigynum sclerotized, with 'knob' of variable length. Description. Body length -4-6, carapace width Ocular region slightly elevated, AME present. Clypeus and sternum unmodified. Male chelicerae with two pairs of proximal apophyses and distal apophyses, the latter with two tiny modified hairs each (Fig. 2199; barely visible in dissecting micro- scope). Male palpal coxa unmodified, trochanter with medium-long retrolatero-ventral apophysis often with short retrolateral branch, femur with rounded ventral protuberance, tibia with prolatero-ventral modification proximally, tarsus without dorsal elon- gation, tarsal organ capsulate, procursus with distinct ventral 'knee', with two dorsal spines. Bulbal uncus conservative, embolus weakly sclerotized, appendix with branch. Legs long, tibia 1 in males -6-13, tibia 1 L/d -50-80, tibia 2 significantly longer than tibia 4 (tibia 2/4 ; two exceptions in Zhang & Zhu 2009a are probably based on mismeasurement: Ph. zhangae with , Ph. parayichengicus with ), legs without spines, sometimes with curved hairs on tibiae and/or metatarsi, few vertical hairs, tibiae with three trichobothria each except tibia 1 (prolateral trichobothrium absent), retrolateral trichobothrium on tibia 1 at -5-6%. Abdomen cy- lindrical, without cuticular pattern but usually with many dark internal spots visible through cuticle. Male gonopore with four epiandrous spigots, ALS with eight spigots each, PMS with two small spigots each. Sexual dimorphism slight, female body size as in males, chelicerae unmodified, legs slightly shorter (tibia 1: -5-9). Epigynum sclerotized, with 'knob' of variable leng
