discussion
Comments. The species has been thoroughly described by Carrerette & Nogueira (2013), and the description is not repeated here. We have included it in the key to facilitate identification and comparison with other species. It appears to be closest to another Brazilian species, P. nonatoi Carrerette & Nogueira, 2013, and P. broomensis Hartmann-Schröder, 1979 from NW Australia.
