Remarks

• Systematics: Adult female P. acinaces are extremely distinctive due to having: (i) only a single stigmatic spine in each cleft, and (ii) dorsal setae which broaden apically into a narrow blade-like apex somewhat resembling a scimitar. (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
• Structure: Slide-mounted adult female. Body basically oval and more pointed anteriorly than posteriorly, but clearly somewhat asymmetrical, particularly on venter. Length 2.1 mm, width 1.6 mm. (Hodgson & Williams, 2018)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Hodgson & Williams, 20118
