1. The typical case is given. However, sometimes the number of leg claws in P. dentatus is variable (see Weigmann et al. 1993).

2. Mahunka (1988 b) described P. paracapucinus from Malaysia. At present, it was recorded from the Palaearctic, Oriental, Neotropical and Ethiopian regions and Vanuatu ( Subías 2004, online version 2016; Weigmann & Ermilov 2016). This species differs from P. capucinus by the presence of 10 pairs of notogastral setae (vs. 11) and 12 barbs on bothridial setae (vs. more than 20), and the localization of notogastral porose areas A3 (between h 1 and p 1 vs. p 1 and p 2) (see Mahunka 1988 b). However, the literature analysis (e.g. Hammer 1961; Pérez-Íñigo 1974; Weigmann 2006; Bayartogtokh 2010) shows that some populations of P. capucinus also have ten pairs of notogastral setae, numerous barbs on bothridial setae and localization of porose areas A3 between h 1 and p 1. Thus, P. capucinus and P. paracapucinus are morphologically very similar and the clear differences between them are not visible, therefore, potentially, the latter is a junior synonym of P. capucinus , but the additional research is necessary.

- Body surface not distinctly foveolate; distance between notogastral porose areas A1–A1 and A2–A2 similar; femora II pointed ventroanteriorly; body size: 836–976 × 582–664......................................................................................... P. maximus (Mahunka, 1988) View in CoL (see Mahunka 1988 a). Distribution: Oriental region and Iran.
