Type locality. Philippines. Visayas, Leyte Island, Burauen , Barangay Villa Corazon , 10°57’50.5”N 124°46’ 35.3”E, 282 m. GoogleMaps

Distribution. Philippines. Visayas: Leyte Island; Mindanao: Siargao Island (new record); Mindanao Island: Agusan del Sur (new record).

Diagnosis. Species close to P. longipes in terms of face coloration with a wide yellow band; differing by its smaller size and male genitalia with smaller and triangular pseudepiphallic lophi, shorter endophallic sclerite, and narrower endophallic apodemes.

Remarks. The male specimens from Siargao Island and Mindanao Island (Agusan del Sur) were identified as P. leytensis based on the features of the body, face, size and male genitalia. They slightly differ from the specimens from Leyte by the following characters: in Siargao specimens, male genitalia wider than long, short and less setaceous lophi, and short rami; in Agusan specimen, thin and long male genitalia, ectophallic fold longer and narrowing basally. Male specimen from Mindanao Island is the smallest among examined specimens of the species.
