Identification
Excerpts from Edwards, 2004:
"...The placement of P. zethus should be regarded as tentative.

...The four terminal species, P. carolinensis, P. comatus, P. richmani, and P. putnami, form a strongly unified group. Males have dorsal crests replacing the post-PME tufts, and they perform “rotary” courtships with the legs I and palps (these appendages are rotated in small circular motions). Typically, their leg I fringes are not as strikingly banded as in many other species, but instead have many brindled setae intermixed with monocolored setae (black and either white or yellow)..."(1)
