[edit] Description
The female P. decorus is about 9 mm long. The spider is mostly black, with some white pubescence on the sides of the cephalorthorax, and a dark median stripe in the middle of a wide light median band on the longish abdomen. The female palps are yellowish white. The legs are very short, with the first pair much more robust. They are reddish-brown with black rings.[1]
