Systematics: In case of P. philippinicus, Williams (2004a), the author of the species, emphasized the differences between P. longispinus and P. philippinicus in P. philippinicus has a saccate vulva with four internal, sclerotized lateral pockets and with a few multiocular disc pores located posterior to the vulva only while P. longispinus has multiocular disc pores occurring both anterior and posterior to the vulva. In addition, based on his drawings of P. longispinus, its vulva does not possess internal pockets. (Koo, et al., 2017)
