Material examined. India : Mizoram , Kolasib , 24°12’43.80”N , 92°40’34.60”E , 25.iv.2012 , Pandher ( NZC ), 2 males and 1 female . Diagnosis. The male genitalia of P. phrixos are similar to those of P. bay Malicky 1995 and P. nam Malicky 1995 (both from Vietnam ) in general appearance. Although P. phrixos more nearly resembles P. bay , it is a distinct species as its preanal appendages are longer than the inferior appendages and each is more curved near the basal half in lateral view; the lateral spiniform process of each preanal appendage bears a single process. Conversely, in P. bay , the preanal appendages are shorter than the inferior appendages and not curved near their bases in lateral view; each lateral spiniform process has two branches, with the inner one being longer in dorsal view. Distribution. India ( Mizoram ), Myanmar ( Mey & Malicky 2021 ), Thailand .
