gday guys,
just wanted to bring up a few interesting similarities i've noticed between 2 sp.
A recently discovered species over in Australia (named Satin Red for now) bares some striking similarities to those of the P. murinus, colour, size, both old world T's and even the carapace markings to some extent they both have in common, even geographic locations are very similar.
My theory is that long long long ago when the Earth's land was a lot closer together then it is now, these species could of prehaps been very closely related occupying the African regions and migrating to Australia before evolution.
anyway, here are some pics of both sp. so you know what i'm talking about
