Description

Figures 5–10. Male paratypes of P. rutherfordi. 5) Partly volvated juvenile showing the uniformity of the thinner coating. 6) "Naked," fragmented, and probably freshly molted adult showing the natural exoskeletal color. 7) Anterior view of the head showing the clear, uncoated frons/clypeus/labrum and distal antennomeres. 8) Dorsal view of anterior tergites showing a ridge of accumulated sand (arrow) between the physically closer spines/ozopores on that metatergum. 9) Ventral view of the caudal end showing sand coatings on the sterna and legs (excepting tarsi), the alternating leg lengths, the more lateral origins of the anterior segmental legs, and the wider sterna between them. 10) Segment 7 of NMNH paratype showing protruded gonopods, encircled by dashed green line, in situ.
