Bioacoustics of Pholcus kawit

Description Male ( holotype ) MEASUREMENTS. Total body length 8.0, carapace width 1.8. Leg 1: 52.5 (12.7 + 0.7 + 12.7 + 23.7 + 2.7), tibia 2: 8.4, tibia 3: 5.3, tibia 4: 7.5; tibia 1 L/d: 78. Distance PME-PME 370 µm, diameter PME 140×170 µm, distance PME-ALE ~50 µm, distance AME-AME 30 µm, diameter AME 90 µm. COLOR. Carapace pale ochre to orange, with wide median dark brown mark including ocular area and small brown submarginal marks laterally ( Fig. 38 ); clypeus light brown; sternum monochromous light brown to orange, labium darker; legs light brown to ochre, dark rings subdistally on femora and tibiae and in patella area, tips of femora and tibiae lighter; abdomen ochre-gray, dorsally with several pairs of dark cuticular marks that are fused above spinnerets, with distinct internal darker marks visible through cuticle dorsally and laterally; ventrally with undivided wide brown band between gonopore and spinnerets. BODY. Habitus as in Fig. 38 ; ocular area raised, each eye triad on additional short hump directed towards lateral, with pair of short processes between eye triads, each with distal brush of hairs; carapace without median furrow; clypeus unmodified; sternum wider than long (1.05/0.95), unmodified. ALS with one widened, one pointed, and three to four very small conical spigots (~1.5–3 µm wide and ~3–6 µm long). CHELICERAE. As in Fig. 47 , with small lateral and frontal apophyses proximally and dark distal apophyses near median line provided with two small modified (cone-shaped) hairs each; without stridulatory ridges. PALPS. As in Figs 45–46 ; coxa unmodified; trochanter with short conical retrolateral process and longer ventral apophysis with distinctive tip; femur with finger-shaped retrolateral process proximally and distinct ventral apophysis; tibia with dark dorsal band, also ventrally darkened, with small but distinct ventral cavity (for proximal bulbal sclerite); procursus complex distally, with distinctive pointed process dorsally (more sclerotized and at different angle than in P. baguio sp. nov. ); bulb with large uncus, weakly sclerotized wide embolus, simple appendix with main branch curved towards retrolateral and shorter prolateral side-branch. LEGS. Without spines or curved hairs; few vertical hairs; retrolateral trichobothrium on tibia 1 at 4%; prolateral trichobothrium absent on tibia 1, present on other tibiae; tarsus 1 with>30 pseudosegments, only distally about 10 fairly distinct. Male (variation) Tibia 1 in other male: 13.5 (missing in third male). Female In general similar to male but sternum dark brown, eye triads closer together (distance PME-PME 230 µm), without processes between eye triads. Tibiae 1 missing. Epigynum large trapezoidal plate surrounded by whitish cuticle ( Fig. 30 ); with anterior ‘knob’; internal genitalia as in Figs 32 and 49 .
