This species belongs to the same section of the genus as P. 

 aculeatus, P. longispinus, P. spatulifer, P. acanthonotus, P. verru- 

 cosipes, and P. hah mo ides ; its nearest ally being P. longispinus, 

 De Haan, from which it is distinguished by having none of the 

 supra-orbital spines recurved. In the structure of the antennary 

 region it approaches Chlorinoides, mihi, but like the rest of the 

 species mentioned has the ambulatory legs much shorter than in 

 that genus.
