Diagnostic characters. The species differs from other species with numerous macrotrichia on the wing, uniformly colored abdomen, and spur on the foretibia except P. (Pe.) tritum by having a microtrichiose base of the superior volsella. It differs from P. (Pe.) tritum by having a lower base of the superior volsella and slightly lower antennal ratio (0.9–1.2 as opposed to about 1.6). The pupa is distinguished from Nearctic and western Palaearctic Polypedilum species including P. (Pe.) tritum by having 7 branches in the thoracic horn, shagreen on tergite IV – VI separated into 4 fields, with median field entirely separated from anterior band and with paired posterolateral fields as well having spines on conjunctives III / IV and IV / V. Larvae can be distinguished from other known Polypedilum larvae by a 16 toothed mentum with the second laterals slightly longer and wider than the median and first laterals.
Distribution. This species is known from Florida and Ohio, USA.
