Pupa unknown.
Larva not separable from P. (P.) caelestomontana sp. nov., can be distinguished only by molecular genetic data.
Diagnosis. The male of this new species is most closely related to P. (P.) caelestomontana sp. nov. See the diagnosis of this species for details, the key and results of DNA barcoding.
Ecology. Larvae were collected from stones and bowlders sometimes covered with algae and moss in mountain rivers, located at an altitude of 2016–3717 m, at a flow rate of 0.4–1.0 m/s, with water temperature ca 12°C.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Pamir Mountains ( Tajikistan) ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 12–15 ).
