This species and P. heterops are very closely related as indicated by the general form of the gonopods which, however, differ in a number of particulars. The pleurae of the third segment of the males is slightly elevated near the legs in this species and the posterior. Fig. 11.

Body of the male moderately compressed on the sides behind, narrowing from the anterior fourth caudad; both females especially stout for this genus and not in the least compressed on the sides, the posterior end of the body much less narrower than usual. Color about as given for P. clarus, the median light stripe narrow but continuous and with the sides parallel. All the specimens have 2 eyes on each side. Groove of the vertex short and slightly impressed. Antennae as in P. abditus. First segment of the type with 4 conspicuous, rather widely sepa-.
