Both species can be distinguished by the following characters: - The rostrum has small or minute subapical spines in  P. zetes, whereas these spines are obsolescent in  P. medea. - Pleonal tergite 3 has a posterior ridge in  P. zetes,whereas this ridge is absent in  P. medea. - The P2–4 propodi are usually stout in  P. zetes(3.1–3.9 × as long as broad), whereas they are more slender in  P. medea(3.5–4.5 as long as broad). The genetic divergences among  P. zetes,  P. tiphysand  P. medearanged from 7–11% (COI) and 3–6% (16S). The two sequences of  P. zetesfrom French Polynesiadiverged by 0.2% (COI) and 0% (16S). The specimens of  P. zetesrange from 1.2 to 2.6 mmpostorbital carapace length. 2012-11-28 UF Ohotea Point, W French Polynesia 36 -8.9309 Taiohae Bay 7 -140.0978 Nuku Hiva 138 139 UF30059 1 Iles Marquises holotype 2012-01-07 Stn MQ French Polynesia 22 -8.9371 Marquesas Islands 7 -140.1206 138 139 1 Iles Marquises paratype 2012-01-15 2012-06-17 2012-01-15 Stn MQ French Polynesia 9 -8.6781 Marquesas Islands 7 -140.6205 138 139 1 Iles Marquises [199,729,979,1005] French Polynesia Stn 138 139 1 2002-11-13 French Polynesia 70 -24.636 Society Islands.
