Comments.
The species has been thoroughly described by
Carrerette & Nogueira (2013)
, and the description is not repeated here. We have included it in the key to facilitate identification and comparison with other species. It appears to be closest to another Brazilian species,
P. nonatoi
Carrerette & Nogueira, 2013
, and
P. broomensis
Hartmann-Schröder, 1979
from NW
Australia
