Zhang & Zhu 2009a: 106-108, figs. 62a- g (copied from Zhang et ai 2006). Types. Male holotype and 6$ paratypes from China, Tibet, Nyalam County, Zham Town [27°'N, 85°'E; the coordinates in Zhang et ai 2006 are mistaken], (F. Zhang, Z. Zhang), in MHBU, not examined. Note. The Nepalese specimens below are certainly very closely related to the types of this species, but considering the variation found within Nepal, the specific status of these specimens warrants further collecting and study. Diagnosis. Distinguished from congeners by male palpal morphology (Figs. 1864, 1865; complex pro- cursus, shapes of uncus and appendix), male chelic- erae (Fig. 1866; distal apophyses divided; similar to Ph. medo^, and female genitalia (Figs. 1792, 1868). Male (Arun Valley). Total body length , carapace width Leg 1: ( + + + + ), tibia 2: , tibia 3: , tibia 4: ; tibia 1 L/d: 69. Habitus as in Figs. 1763 and 1764. Carapace ochre- yellow with light brown mark posteriorly, ocular area and clypeus medially also light brown, sternum brown with light spots near bases of coxae, legs with light brown rings on femora and tibiae subdistally, patella area and tibia-metatarsus also darker, abdo- men ochre-gray with poorly visible cuticular brown pattern dorsally, ventrally with wide brown band (c£ female. Fig. 1765). Distance PME-PME 460 jim, diameter PME 140 jam, distance PME-ALE 45 fim, distance AME-AME 60 jam, diameter AME 80 fim. Ocular area elevated, many stronger hairs on poste- rior side, each triad on short additional elevation directed laterally. No thoracic furrow; clypeus un- m
