Material examined

A single sample, 14B, from Coot Pond, n = 8.

Distribution

This taxon was found in only one location, at Coot Pond, co-habiting the same wrack as P. monodi BOLD: AAB3402. Coot Pond is a small inland bay with restricted tidal access, so the tidal amplitude may be slightly reduced.

Remarks

This is the largest of the Bermudian talitrids, up to 17 mm in body length. Epidermal pigment patterns are nondescript and not useful for field identification.
