Comment:   Claspers parallel and then turn outwards and abdomen markings/patterns very bold as it the face. Is this not unusual for P. cognatus? Notes from Jens Kipping - My cognatus never looked to contrasting and sharpely marked, the appendages reminding me on a species we found in Angola. There are more species hiding in what we call "P. cognatus"
