It is similar to the American species P. texensis and P. ignotus Christiansen and Bellinger, 1980, all of them with 1 dorsal strong capitated tenent hair on tibiotarsi. It differs in the shape of the maxillary lamellae, one with 4 sharp big teeth and one semispherical with 5 stocky teeth while P. texensis has both lamellae toothed and similar; P. ignotus has only 1 serrate lamella and the maxillary capitulum is elongated. The new species has 5 long dental setae; P. texensis has 4
