P. xanthopleurasp. nov. differs from the other member of the lacustris group mainly by having almost completely yellow pleurae, and by the shape of the epandrium and gonocoxites. The diagnostics of P. staryisp. nov. and P. incognita Török, Kolcsár & Keresztes, 2015 based on male genitalia are provided.
