Among the non-Philippine species having a lori-ocu- lar, P. talonuran differs from P. sarasinorum in having the anterior chin shields in contact with the mental, from P. albonuchalis in having fewer subcaudals (36- 39 vs. 43) and the frontal not border the eye, and from P. saravacensis in having a greater number of subcau- dals (36-39 vs. fewer than 30) and fewer maxillary teeth (8 vs. 14).

From the remaining species in the genus, it differs in having an elongate loreal (lori-ocu- lar) shield that borders the eye. Description of holotype: (Adult male) Rostral as high as wide, portion visible from above slightly greater than length of internasal suture; internasals small, greatest length about one-half greatest length of prefrontals, in contact with rostral, nasal, loreal and prefrontal: common suture between prefrontals about four-fifths length of frontal: prefrontal bordering eye between loreal and supraocular, also in contact with internasals; left prefrontal in contact with both inter- nasals (because internasal suture offset from midline): frontal two-thirds length of parietals, subtriangular, three-fourths as wide as long, in contact with prefron- tals, supraocular and parietals, but not bordering eye; supraocular distinct, not fused to ocular brill; maxi- mum length of parietals slightly greater than distance to tip of snout; nasal quadrangular, undivided, resting on first and in contact with second supralabials, nostril pierced in anterior lower quadrant; loreal elongate, resting on second and third supralabials. about twice as long as its distance to tip of snout, bordering eye; preocular absent (or more likely fused to form an elongate loreal [lori-ocular]); postocular, subquadran- gular, about one half size of supraocular, in contact with fourth and fifth s
