Identification. This species was identified from descriptions and illustrations found in the revision by Holzenthal & Blahnik (2006). The horn-like processes projecting from the phallicata are similar to those of P. cristula Holzenthal & Blahnik 2006 and P. rota Mosely 1937 . It differs from these two species by the shorter, ventral processes of the phallicata and by the ventral margin of sternum VIII, which is shorter and less deeply bifurcate apically.
