Systematics: Philephedra broadwayi broadwayi is similar to other species of Philephedra by lacking dorsal setae and by having spinose marginal setae, robust legs and 8-segmented antennae. It differs from the other species in the genus by having many discal setae on the anal plates, lacking submarginal tubercles and by producing an ovisac that does not extend behind the body of the female (Miller at al., 2014a)
Structure: Dorsal setae absent; marginal setae spinose; without submarginal tubercles (2-ringed ducts); more than eight apical and discal setae on each anal plate; tubular ducts abundant on both surfaces. (Miller, et al., 2014a)
General Remarks: Good description and illustration of adult female by Nakahara & Gill (1985).
