Differential diagnosis of male. Blade of paramere separated from the outer lobe by a very small incision and its upper edge blunt and directed downward ( Figs 10, 13 ); second conjunctival appendages of aedeagus apically rectangular ( Fig. 16 ); opening of the male genital capsule with blunt teeth at the inner margins ( Fig. 18 ); proctiger narrower than that of P. australis , about 1.3–1.4 times longer than wide, slightly incised on its apical margin ( Fig. 20 ).

Differential diagnosis of female. Spermathecal seminal receptacle elongated ( Figs 23–24 ).

Note. For a detailed description of the species, see MൺǤ- ඇංൾඇ (2014).

Distribution ( Fig. 25 ). Australia (Northern Territory) (first exact record); Indonesia ( Ambon Island) (new country record).
