Two species are described in this genus, P. laticeps Bagnall from Sarawak, and P. geoffri Mound from northern Australia, although specimens of a further species have been studied from New Caledonia. These species have the maxillary stylets elongate, retracted to the level of the compound eyes and close together medially, and there is a pair of ommatidium-like structures ventro-laterally on the posterior fifth of the cheeks.
