Haradon 1985 Diagnosis.—Adult male unknown . A subspecies
of P. shulovi differentiated by combination of : pectinal posterior basal
length/maximum basal width ratio in adult females 1.5-1.8 (1.65 ± 0.10, n =
12); pectine length/dentate margin length ratio in adult females 1.3-1.4
(1.39 ± 0.04, n = 12) (Fig . 18); pectinal teeth in males (92%) 21-22,
females (91%) 15-17; metasomal segment V with 7/8 or 8/8 ventrolateral setae
(88% of specimens).
Comparisons: P. shulovi shulovi differs significantly in all four
characters (see above).
Variation .—Pectinal tooth counts varied as in Table 3. Ventrolateral
setae on metasomal segment V (sample n = 17) varied as follows: 6/7 (1), 7/7
(1), 7/8 (9), 8/8 (6). Pedipalpal primary denticles, excluding proximal row,
total 26-31 (28 .65 ± 1 .40, n = 23) on fixed finger, 35-42 (38.12 ±1 .68, n
= 24) on movable finger. The name "nevadae" refers to the state to which
this subspecies is largely restricted.
