Remarks

• Systematics: This species is similar to P. superbus, but differs in the presence of dorsal tubular ducts not only in marginal cerarii, but on other parts of the dorsal surface. (Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2014)
• Structure: Female body up to 5 mm long. Antennae 9-segmented. Trochanger with 3-4 sensillae. Claw with denticle; claw digitules shorter than claw, with pointed apex. Circulus large, broadly oval. Multilocular pores scattered on all medial zone of ventrum and forming groups near spiracles. Quinquelocular pores absent. Trilocular pores evenly scattered on most part of body surface, excluding only medial zone of venter, where they are replaced by multilocular pores; dorsal trilocular pores larger than ventral ones. Tubular ducts of two sized; larger ducte present in and near cerarii and sparsely on other parts of the dorsal surface of the body; small ducts forming small frontal group anteriorly to mouthparts. Marginal cee=rarii numbering 20-22 pairs; additional (smaller cerarii forming 4-6 ongitudinal rows on all dorsum. Dorsal surface of the body covered by conical setae of different sizes, many of which are similar to cerarian setae. (Danzig & Gavrilov, 2014)
• Biology: There are two generations per year with overwintering as ultimate and penultimate larvae. According to Bazarov (1968) the reproduction can be bisexual as well as parthenogenetic. (Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2014)
• General Remarks: Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1948b, 1949), Tang (1992) and by Danzig (1999).
