Males of P. caucasica have a robust tegular apophysis, with the distal branch being twice as wide as those in other species of the P. lugubris group (Figs 13, 25) [cf.

Proximal part of all femora in males of P. caucasica is dark, while in P. lugubris males, only femur I is dark in the proximal part; the other femora have four gray annulations (Figs 56). P. caucasica has a dark-brown coloration on the front edge of anterior epigynal pocket (Figs 45, 48); this is lacking in the other species. DESCRIPTION.
