This species is most similar to P. incisus Shen & Lee, 1963.
For Walter & al. (2006, p.210) the specimens from Panay Island vary slightly from the original description by Walter (1984) in a few minor characters: 1- female P5 basis and 2nd exopodal segments bearing surface spinules, rather than setules; 2- male P5 coxae and intercoxal sclerite almost completely fused, lacking small pair of distomedial protuberances; 3- right 2nd exopodal segment of male P5 with different spinulation pattern. These differences fall within intraspecific variability.
In Hyalinus species group (trihamatus subgroup) after Walter & al. 2006, p.203.
