Remarks
: As a damaged adult male lacking most trichomes was the only specimen available to examine, determination to species could not be made. The specimen is similar to
P. lankaranensis
sp. n.
in its small size (body length
2.25 mm
without the caudal bundle), and many other characters, but differed in the number and arrangement of the sensilla on antennal article 6 (
Fig. 6H
).
