Holotype in ZMUC, 2 female paratypes in AMU, 1 female paratype in ZISP.</p> <p>Etymology. This species is named from the place of its type locality.</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. P. garissi sp. nov. is similar to P. annectans Jack, 1962 ex Acanthocercus annectens (Blanford) from Somaliland and Agama lionotus Boulenger (Squamata: Agamidae) from Kenya (Jack 1962). In females of both species, the cheliceral shaft is longer than the cheliceral base, the dorsal setation pattern of the idiosoma is very similar, the anterior mid-dorsal setae are serrated, setae dG are longer than dF, leg setation is the same, except for femora and trochanters I–IV, setae ps1–2 are paddle-shaped with minute spicules on the apical part. This new species differs from P. annectans by the following features. In females of P. garrisi the peripheral setae are slightly apically expanded, three pairs of setae are situated on the coxal fields I and two pairs on the coxal fields II, setae dFIV are absent and lTrIV present, all pseudoanal setae are paddle-shaped with minute spicules on the apical part. In females of P. annectans, the peripheral setae are fine-pointed, four pairs of setae are situated on the anterior coxal field and three pairs on the posterior coxal field, setae dFIV are present, setae lTrIV absent, pseudoanal setae ps3 are blunt-pointed and ps4 are fine-pointed.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87D0FFE3FFF127CAFE632A0DFD60	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Holotype in ZMUC, 1 female paratype in AMU, 1 female paratype in ZISP.</p> <p>Etymology. The specific epithet “fragilis” refers to the Latin word “ fragilis ” which means “frail, delicate”.</p> <p>Differential diagnosis. P. fragilis sp. nov. is similar to P. garissi sp. nov. In females of both species, the setation pattern of the idiosoma is very similar, the anterior mid-dorsal setae are serrated, setae dG are longer than dF, four pairs of paddle-shaped setae ps are present, setation of tarsi-coxae I–IV is the same. This new species differs from P. garrisi by the following features. In females of P. fragilis the hypostom has several minute denticles at the apex, the fixed cheliceral digit has a spinous tip, subcapitular setae n are absent, the cheliceral shaft is 2.1 times longer than the base, 8–9 pairs of the peripheral setae are present, the genital series is represented by 1–2 pairs of setae g. In females of P. garissi the hypostom is smooth, the fixed cheliceral digit has several tines, subcapitualar setae n are present, the cheliceral shaft is 1.7 times longer than the base, 6–7 pairs of the peripheral setae and three pairs of genital setae g are present.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB87D0FFE1FFF627CAFCFB2BA3FF7E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
