The gonostylus, ejaculatory apodeme, and apical tenaculum of the cercus are all similar in shape in P. hirsutus, P. moragai, and P. tango .

While P. moragai has 3, and P. tango has 4 short rod-like accessory tenacula, P. hirsutus has 14 to 15. The three species also differ by a combination of other features: P. t a ng o has contiguous eyes, while the eyes of P. hirsutus and P. moragai are separated by less than one facet diameter; the aedeagus of P. tango and P. moragai are slightly sinuous, tapering at the apex, while the aedeagus of P. hirsutus is straight.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E586520915FFABF9B7FE5AC671FE60	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
